And on the heals of the previous post about Sci-Fi, comes this gem through Slashdot regarding George R. R. Martin’s series, A Song of Ice and Fire, coming to a game near you. I don’t know how many of you have read the series, but despite my love for most of Martin’s stuff, I couldn’t get through this series. I read the first book, A Game of Thrones, and thought it was pretty good, and was ready for the next one. A Clash of Kings started getting way too dense, with waaaaaaaaaay too many characters to keep track of. By A Storm of Swords I was done. I got half way through and couldn’t finish it. That says a lot for me, the woman who devours epic fantasy.

Anyway, it should be interesting to see how much of this series ends up in the games, considering how incredibly dense the storylines are and how many characters you have to deal with. And I’d recommend that this be an RPG, no question. I mean, can you see this being turned into a RTS, or FPS? Ewwwww.
