>We're not doing Robert's Rebellion either. I know thousands of you want that, I know there's a petition... but by the time I finish writing A SONG OF ICE & FIRE, you will know every important thing that happened in Robert's Rebellion. There would be no surprises or revelations left in such a show, just the acting out of conflicts whose resolutions you already know. That's not a story I want to tell just now; it would feel too much like a twice-told tale.

Why aren't more for you niggas asking for a show set East of Essos. That's where all the great untapped shit is. Crazy shit like Stygai and Carcossa. Winged Men and Shrykes. You could make an entire show in that region and it'd be fantastic.

Not really. It'd be exactly like GoT budget-wise except shot in more desert locations and maybe more make-up. Probably less expensive because shooting wouldn't have to be split between 5 different places in different parts of the world.

A Greyjoy Rebellion miniseries would be pretty good too.

Imagine how they'd butcher it. You'd have young versions of popular characters at every conceivable opportunity even where it doesn't fit or make sense.

Little kid Tyrion would be embroiled in plots that somehow decide the shape of the kingdom. Young Ned runs into kid Brienne and tells her to always follow her dreams.

The retarius used the net and trident because it was an entertaining and exotic combination, not because it ever had any sort of battlefield application. In normal combat, it was entirely useless.

>>85931911
Am i the only one reading this as grrm not writing a roberts rebellion prequel and nothing to do with hbo

Hbo has ordered 4 spin offs. No way the rebellion isn't one of them

>>85934131
So we can say with 99% certainty that Robert's Rebellion is one of those spin-offs.
What are the other 3 going to be, /tv/?

>>85934268
One of them is probably going to be based on the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and a young Aegon.

>>85931733
That Targaryen armor looks dope.

>>85934438
I want there to be spin-off about the Valyrian-Ghiscari Wars, since they are the ASOIAF equivalent of the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage.
Two mighty and ancient civilizations duking it out like it's no one's business.

I would have doubted the feasibility of the event ever appearing on live television, but considering the production values they can now achieve in S7, I'd say that it's now possible to show what a Valyryian-Ghiscari war would look like.

>>85932269
>tfw D&D have him burning his soldiers during the Siege of Storm's End

>>85934438
>>85934131

He literally says in there that it's specifically not going to be Dunc and Egg. And it's clearly about the show spin-offs.

>>85931733
>Tfw we'll never get an adaptation of Robert's Rebellion.

We very well might. There are 5 prequels in productions (script phase) and HBO will chose the best one to make another GoT show when this one ends. Since they're all prequels we might actually get the Rebellion.

>>85934268
One has to be something about East of Essos or at least that part of the world considering he says:

>Every one of the four has visited me here in Santa Fe, some of them more than once, and we've spent days together discussing their ideas, the history of Westeros and the world beyond, and sundry details found only in The World of Ice & Fire and The Lands of Ice & Fire...
>sundry details found only in The World of Ice & Fire and The Lands of Ice & Fire...

The places brought up only in those books that weren't ever brought up before were specifically the lands to the Further East like the Shadow Lands, The Land of the Shrykes, etc.

>>85932089
Fat Fuck himself said that the maps are from a citadel maester's point of view. There are no winged men, there are probably just a bunch of faggy polish hussars wannabes.

I just wish we got more Bran flashbacks. They could have shown Robert's Rebellion then.

I had hopes that the beginning of the Sixth season would have been a 2hr special with the entire story of Lyanna and Rhaegar, ending with his death and her giving birth to Jon, then switching to show's days and seeing Jon's resurrection.
Instead we had Dorne drama.

More often than not crazy shit that people in universe brush off as being myths and legends end up being real i.e. White Walkers, Dragons, demons, people resurrecting, etc. All that weird shit in the maps and the book more than likely are legit.

Leaks confirm the spinoff will be entirely set on the Lonely Light.

And it will be (((shit)))

>>85937166
It would, but I think it would be impossible to do it justice on television. It would involve way too many cgi dragons and big battles, either the budget would be fucked or they would have to dull it down.

It would be better if Martin wrote it himself as a novella. ASOIAF does not work on television.

ASOIAF works great on TV.
Season 1 (the only one entirely based on the books) was awesome.

The problem is that Martin is a lazy fat fuck.
His first book came out in 1996.
He should've finished by now.
He should have been done entirely before the series was greenlighted.

>And, yes, I know you all want to know about THE WINDS OF WINTER too. I've seen some truly weird reports about WOW on the internet of late, by 'journalists' who make their stories up out of whole cloth. I don't know which story is more absurd, the one that says the book is finished and I've been sitting on it for some nefarious reason, or the one that says I have no pages. Both 'reports' are equally false and equally moronic. I am still working on it, I am still months away (how many? good question), I still have good days and bad days, and that's all I care to say. Whether WINDS or the first volume of FIRE AND BLOOD will be the first to hit the bookstores is hard to say at this juncture, but I do think you will have a Westeros book from me in 2018... and who knows, maybe two.

Tgis is turning into a twisted joke. He's implying TWOW might not even release 2018.

Only because of their expense. Knights wanted to win tournaments, there was a lot of money involved. If decoration was an instant-loss, tournament armour wouldn't have been decorated.

But, he was right. Everything he obsessed over came true and he was right!

>>85940481

The costs of ineffective armor are less in tournament (duels aren't to the death) and the benefits of standing out are much greater (tournament is a social occasion where lowly knights can raise their status by getting noticed).

The calculus is very different from real fighting.
