GOT:Song of Fire And Ice RP General

IIRC from my quick skimming after I picked up that Humble Bundle I think the players work together and create a house and the characters within that house.

I'd see how the do it. If they make lots of maesters amd nobles then it'll be mostly political stuff.
Lots of hedge knights and the like it can be more combat focused like the usual stuff.
Best bet is a combination of the two.

SIFRP is a little weird. Player agency is less than it normally is, since the house itself is the important part. Characters can be compelled regardless of what the player wants.
Also, the system tends to assume that characters are less competent than they really are.
And anyone interested in fighting had better invest in endurance. It's the one thing between dying instantly and being horribly wounded, and the more you have, the more times you get to say no to death.

If they are fans, be sure to throw a few curveballs to let them know their actions have impact. It is satisfying and keeps them from getting too meta.

Also, don't let them be the House Lord if they're newbies.

There will be spoilers for the books in the campaign book.

They will metagame unless you make it more localized and change out the heads of families, try setting it before the events of the books/show.

If they are new, have your NPC as a reserve as the Lord of the House, if you are doing that game, it can be a wellspring of giving information to the players that they can trust relatively easily. If you place a PC it can lead to deadlocks, infighting and hard decisions.

How attached are you to having actual character sheets? I only ask because it can be pain for newer players to learn all the secondary attribute stuff and I found that an electronic sheet (made with either excel or google sheets) helps.
