What is this game?
The Dragon’s Hunt is a Live-Action Roleplaying Game set in the world of Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire. Following an alternate series of events, King Rhaegar Targaryen has taken the throne and the banners of Rebellion have not yet been raised.
Players take on the roles of characters from across the Seven Kingdoms invited to formally celebrate the recent coronation and royal wedding. Each will receive a personally written brief that explains their personal situation and political agenda. These briefs are not scripts, but encouragement and suggestions for making the most out of their story.
Who is this game for?
LARPers who enjoy high drama, plotting and complicated interpersonal relationships. This is a dive into the political setting of Westeros and what it means to live, love and fight as the Lords and Ladies of the Seven Kingdoms.
The rigid expectations of gender and etiquette create a framework to play your character’s experience to the fullest. It benefits everyone if people play into these systems.
This is a game about trying to win at all costs – and the glorious consequences of failing. There are years of loyalties and grudges at work to set people at odds. The character briefs are written to encourage everyone to bring those to the foreground and make the risky plays that all makes for a better story. The game is best played when the character wants to win, but the player can’t wait to see what happens when they lose.
