After taking a liking to the first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, I happened to watch episodes two and three in one go. Did my predictions hold true? What’s my impression after reaching the turning point of the season?
As it turns out, Dunk and his strange squire Egg don’t participate in the tourney just yet. Instead, they run errands and do world-building along the way. Tall Guy gets a little bit more complex; apparently, other people besides myself have called him stupid.
Finally managed to watch the first episode of the new Game of Thrones spin-off, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. I want to share my thoughts and impressions on the episode. Note: I’m not that familiar with the universe and won’t obsess about houses etc.
We start with a burial under adverse conditions, with Tall Guy burying his former Ser Knight. He decides to become a knight of his own and wanders towards a tourney he heard about.
I finally managed to put one of Warhammer Underworld’s Spitewood warbands on the table at my local club. The match was against Knives of the Crown featuring the Pillage and Plunder and Blazing Assault decks. For the dwarfs' first deck I chose Pillage and Plunder and Countdown to Cataclysm. So overall, boring deck combinations that have remained strong since the release of the new edition. But as I pointed out in a previous blog post, variety for warbands that want to delve feature tokens due to their internal mechanics don’t have much choice.
Click- and rage-bait title, but I stand behind this proclamation. I don’t even think it’s a hot take among people who have played the game over multiple months and have expanded beyond the Embergard core set.
I deeply love this game, and there’s no other just like it. So this is an attempt at therapy, not destruction. But love can fade unless you get your partnership in order.
I’ll break this down into several points and end with some ideas of how the game and we as a community could make things spicy again.
