the level of detail grrm puts into his writing is honestly incredible. in acok we're introduced to what seems like nothing more than a harmless game played by the frey children called lord of the crossing. on a first read it's just a bit of worldbuilding

@SpryArcaneMage@Isaac2003_v2 I do recall sam being more amazed than terrified. He talks mostly about being excited to tell his old gaffer about them when its all over
@DoremusSchafer@thedragonLML AGOT THIRD??? The first thing you read being this fantastic, eerie worldbuilding that leaves you asking as many questions as it answers is fantastic. Not to mention the legendary fight scene.
@Alaska0420@westerosies There were several nights where they were filming it on the program when I was booking tickets, so it should be available at some point!
