In which our heroes visit Westeros, take a leisurely walk upon yonder cliff and start plotting and scheming as we try to survive the Game of Thrones. We look at which bad choices get you killed (all of them), do our best to avoid incest and come to accept the inevitable betrayal of everyone we know. Jackson plays the long game, Zammit tries his best but he does not succeed and Duscher just does what he is told, no questions asked. So join the gang as they realise that maybe this isn’t a game where you win or die, but just die and the only solution is a heist for the ages.
Want to help find the rightful heir to rule Westeros? Head to and for as little as $1 a month, you can help make a difference in winning or dying.

And don’t forget to help us work out where to go for our Australian tour! Head to and your handsome faces might be seeing our handsome faces very soon!

I've got to have a long discussion with Joel about WOT. It is by far my favorite series. I laugh so hard every time he mistakenly references it.
Has there ever been a character mentioned in the books or show who once sat on the throne and died of natural causes? I find it a bit amusing that (besides the great throne heist) most of your plans have been or are being done by one character or another. If GoT has shown anything, it's that no matter how much honor, lack of honor, noble blood, amount of plotting, rightful claim, money, spies, armies, discreetness, or heck, even fan favorite plot armor, or anything else I can come up with, you could just as likely die.
I think the only chance you have is if you are central to one of the prophecies, but even then given his track record, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see George end the series with everyone who fit the bill dead and remaining characters realizing the prophecies were a load of BS.
