A Play of Steel and Powder (ASOIAF NG)

Ah, I'm not familiar with it, but cool. I think ASOIAF has the boon/burden of being a popular...franchise? and with our community expanding and getting stronger (such that we have two/three games right now, plus the medieval exploration one which has a fairly similar feel/demographic) I feel...apprehensive about a hiatus being seen as anything but a deathknell.​

It's only a deathknell if over the break, people decide they don't like the concept anymore.
 
Didn't this game have a hiatus of sorts between the first and second game?

If we do have a hiatus, I'd rather not a timeskip to the Victorian era i feel there are some interesting time periods we can stop at between the Renaissance and Victoria.
 
If you were doing a timejump from now, the obvious one would be another century, to take us solidly into the Early Modern, with the stirrings of industrialism.
 
The alternative is a push back. We could always have a catastrophe halting or reversing development.

Some idiot opened a portal to hell in Muscovy, we could always have that backfire.
 
It solves the problem of what's in far east Essos.

We could have 100 years of misery and blood shed in the far east. There could be great migrations of refugees flooding over the mountains to find refuge in the Dothraki sea. The Dothraki would have a second golden age for a time with new victims to raid and pillage. That is until the demonic horde begins raiding over the mountains and across the sunset sea.

We can either start the game at the beginning of a new long night or in the aftermath after a great hero defeats the horde.
 
I'm processing some of this and will address it in greater length when I get the chance. This was my first time at the helm of a NG, and I've been learning as I've gone along, played more games and there's stuff I'd like to do better. That said, shifting gears while it's in motion is tough.

I don't think a hiatus would come with a big timeskip. I don't have any interest in jumping a century or drastically changing the conceit that we began with, but having seen how Lucienz and Sid handled tech and whatnot I know I can tighten that up.

Mulling this over.

Is your general feel that you were too generous/too fast, or just....like more specific nitty-gritty things about tech?
