So I just got this gem, parts of it can be debates(the rules), but some of the most awesome things about it is the artwork and the MASSIVE backstory supplements.
If you're a SoIaF fanatic, find someplace to skim this awesome baby.
EDIT: GODDAMIT ANNOUNCE WHO YOU ARE WHEN YOU MOVE THIS.

I have to agree, the art looks good.
What kind of background material Ace?

I can't be bothered(currently) to transcribe any article, but fr lets say... Kings Landing theres pages for every region, for every house, near the end of the book theres character sheets and summeries for each major and minor character that has more then 2 pages to it(nevermind portraits).
If you get the chance, I highly reccomend loaning the book from someone or attempting to get it, even with its highprice tag and the low chance of me getting a chance to DM with it, its worth every NIS I spent on it, and I spent ALOT of money on this.

Update: I finshed the RPG portion and am well deep into the backstory, they laid out a great history of Westeros, covered stuff extensively. But the highlight is the very well done analysis of every single character in the book. They did Sansa spot on.

You can't tease us like that without giving us more detail. What exactly did they say about Sansa?

Okay, warning, what I say may or may not be correct, I just got up.
Basicly, it shows(quite well) that its no suprise Sansa acts like she acts, she has been raised for what, 12 years? to be a trophy wife, a princess who is built to be married off to some lordling. So its no suprise that she accepts whatever Joffery does to her she has been raised to accept males as the superior power etc. However, they can rightly point to the post Eddard Sansa as being differant, as growing up and learning to hide her true feelings.
That one ties well into the Joffery analyse, which harshly slams him.

Moved thread back here to Fantasy at Ace's request.
EDIT: Then moved back due to point raised by Cynical Cat that it is an RPG review and that is what this forum is for.
