Now that we’ve gone through the death of Daeron II and the coronation of Baelor I, we’d like to invite players to participate in helping us figure out what sort of future events—small or large scale, short term or long term—they’re interested in seeing take place on the game, and being a part of. We’d love your input! We already have some ideas and plans sketched out, but we’re always happy to develop more. We’re not necessarily looking at individual personal plots (though we’d be glad to hear about those, too), but just ideas for things you’ve thought before, “That was cool,” or “That would be cool.”
Bear in mind that we are bound by canon in regards to some things—Baelor will not be dying before his allotted time—so there are limits to what can be done. However, there’s a vast swathe of history out there yet to be made, and we’re looking forward to exploring it with you. On a related note, Dorne’s going to be the most wide-open area in terms of larger-scale events, and it’s an excellent place for those who want to have a somewhat freer hand in terms of plans and plotting. It won’t be a free for all—we still do know certain things—but it’s even less written about than the rest of the Seven Kingdoms.
Please feel free to contact us via e-mail at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), or via +mail on the game, with your ideas, suggestions, and questions about future plans on the game. Or check the BoD forum, where this post will be archived, and start discussing it there.
Based on the nominations for April, no story points have been awarded. Experience Points (XP) were awarded to Pennei, Elmer, Ober, Luthor, Ethos, and Galwell for their contributions to the game.

A new command, +scene, has been added. It allows players to make a game-wide announcement when they are starting a public roleplaying scene. See +help +scene for more details, and please don’t be shy about using it.
A new Article, Playing a Woman at Court, has been added thanks to Damphair:

As part of our efforts to strengthen the political aspects of the game (the campaign in Dorne won’t go on forever, after all), we have posted two new resources in the Articles section of the website detailing the court structure and the court positions in both King’s Landing and Sunspear. Many of these positions are such that players can aspire to fill them if they have the right qualifications, and we suggest that players with political ambitions get familiar with these documents.
We’d like to welcome the latest addition to our staff: Damphair! His regular PC is Dagur Saltcliffe, and he’s been with the game from its start in beta. He’ll be helping to develop and implement plots on the game, as well as generally being available to assist players.
Ten new logs have been added to the site. All of these logs are from roleplay related to King Daeron’s current campaign in Dorne, so anyone who is curious about what is going on can check these out.
The Westeros forums have recently been upgraded to a new version of the forum software, and as part of the upgrade & skin changes we have added a “Blood of Dragons” field to the forum’s member profile. This is for listing your character(s) on Blood of Dragons, and it would be great if as many players as possible do this to further raise awarness of the game on the forums.
We encourage all players to become members of the forum and to take part in the discussions in the Blood of Dragons subforum.
Based on the nominations for November, no Story Points were awarded this month. Experience Points (XP) were awarded to Andry, Burton, Dagur, Obany, and Rosalind for their contributions to the game over the last month.
