Hey all! So this isn't for brainstorming so much as interest-fishing, since I have most of the material written up/coded and I'm just on the fence over whether or not the idea is actually workable.
The concept is an ASoIaF-inspired Harry Potter AU, first war era. Or if you don't know what ASoIaF is, then think of the game as a royalty AU without British titles. The universe itself takes a lot of ideas from ASoIaF (seven united kingdoms, the last heir of a fallen dynasty coming back to take the throne, most of the setup from A Clash of Kings) but would have the added touch of the entire Harry Potter canon. In practice, it would also take ASoIaF's cynical worldview and predeliction for a million million interwoven plots and every character having his/her own agenda.
In practice, it would also be an attempt to make a wizarding royalty game into something other than "rich pretty people relationship drama." Because it's no fun playing rulers if you're not going to have throat-slitting. There would be a heavy focus on power politics, secret alliances, betrayals, war, and everything going to hell in a handbasket. And probably murder. And werewolves.
If I started this game, I would probably keep it as a gpsl to make plotting easier. Would anyone be interested? Does anyone have questions?
