Soooo… I just finished watching Game of Thrones, (FYI Seasons 1-6 = 10/10, Season 7 = 8/10, Season 8 = 6/10) I understand how people felt burned and I will probably wait awhile before trying House of Dragons.
Tonight I was tired, so I mindlessly started browsing YT. Found a video on the D&D setting Birthright. Good video, learned about the setting… AND THE FIGHT FOR THE IRON THRONE! Yes Birthright, released in 1995, released one year before a Song of Ice and Fire has a war for the Iron Throne. If that is not enough of a coincidence, the designer for Birthright… is Ed Stark!
I now have a really huge interest in learning more about Birthright as this is really suspicious amount of coincidence to me.
I mean look at the description for the book The Iron Throne from Wikipedia.
Back in 2005 Wizards posted on their website some unreleased material for the setting and is still available via the wayback machine.
DriveThruRPG also has a lot of the material available from scanned PDF’s
I can’t wait to finish this deep dive and see how deep this rabbit hole goes.
