Useless NOW? When has she ever been anything else?
Did forget about Bran and Rickon. I don't see Bran becoming an actual lord of the north, though.

I am aware of the path Arya has taken; I don't see this leading to her being a viable candidate to picking up the mantle of the North.
And Sansa? Blech. She's been useless since day one. I've never liked her, she's too much like a Lannister.
Of course, this ignores the fact that there pretty much HAS to be a male heir, or there is no more House Stark, anyway.

I had really decicided that Jon was going to be the hope for the North, considering that Robb had made arrangements to legitimize him and set him up as heir to House Stark prior to the Red Wedding.
I was expecting conflict from the various oaths and duties (quite obviously, the Black being a huge issue), but was thinking that these would be minor in the fact of all the terrible crap to come... to me, the threat from beyond the wall feels like it will make the war for the throne look like a squabble among children.
If Jon truly is dead... what then? I agree that Danaerys has to be a major player; if she dies, that whole branch of the story dies... but darn it, I WANT a Stark!

Topic: Paranoia: Adventures in Clonesitting
Subject: pressing on
Once a marching order is assigned, the team moves forward into the low tunnel. Sadly, Slipp's match burns out, as there is no useful fuel to keep the flame lit.
As you press on, you notice several things:
1. The celing slowly gets lower and lower.
2. The water level slowly gets deeper and deeper while the water grows thicker.
3. The stench gets worse and worse.
Eventually, you find yourselves hunched over, basically on hands and knees, under a three foot high celing while keeping your heads above a foot and a half of truly foul liquid. You try to ignore the solids that are floating in the liquid, and the thick sludge at the bottom of the corridor here in SWR Sector.
Finally, you reach the end of the corridor, and as fate would have it, there actually is a small amount of red light given off by an emergency light. As you pause, a monitor slowly rises out of the muck with a sickening "SLUCK" sound. Then, Friend Computer's voice - or rather, a horribly tinny, distorted version of it - speaks from the sludge-covered monitor at a volume loud enough to almost cause physical pain.

Seriously, this game is... what, six years behind schedule? I fear Duke Nukemitis... they are SO far behind that no matter what they do, the game cannot possibly live up to the hype.

I may not be a potential felon much longer. Alabama's state house approved the homebrew legalization bill yetserday, making us state #49 in the union to repeal our Prohibition-era law. You know, that's been here since the 1920s.
Of course, it has to pass the Senate (which it has th epast two years, the House was the stumbling block) and be signed by the governor.
Yay, we might beat Mississippi!

Subject: heh
I disagree with Admiral... but he and I disagree on everything, so don't worry about that. 
I say to use the ruleset you are most comfortable with, unless your players just cannot handle it - and you think that you can.
Bottom line, though, is that you need to focus on your story first, then fill the rules in around it. You can absolutely play D&D by worrying about the rules all of the time, but you'll all have more fun if you don't focus on the rules themselves.

Sadly, yes. He tried this.
Another gem? He and his buddy decided to copy the bit off of the movie "Grown Ups" - where they shoot an straight up into the air, then see who is brave enough to stay in the original spot the longest.
We had to talk about bow & arrow safety.

It was a silly freak accident... but the boy has a serious karmic debt in terms of stitches. This is the kid that could not understand why I was so against him shooting a bow while riding down a hill in a wagon.

Topic: weeked fun
Subject: weeked fun
Last weekend, we had a lot of fun at my house. You can't hear my voice, so please, use an imaginary [SARCASM] tag on my text.
Friday evening, my daughter's boyfiend was over. My oldest son had one of his friends over. For the record, my daughter is 15 (turns 16 in a couple of weeks), son is 14.
My wife and I left the two little boys (ages 2 and 4) with them while we took theh baby with us on a walk around the block.
We had been gone five minutes when the phone rang. My daughter was upset; the four year old didn't want a taco, he wanted a hot dog. So fix him a hot doh, sheesh! Don't call us with stupid problems.
We get home a half hour later to find my son reclining in a chair with an ice pack on his nose, and signs of bleeding apparent.
It turns out that the older boys decided to pick up the little boys' plastic swords and have a battle. Only my daughter's boyfried is a boxer ("you can't even SEE his hands!" my son later told me), and has very quick and strong wrists.
The boyfriend hit my son in the nose at a perfect angle. Understand, the weapon was a hollow, rounded sword. We thought that perhaps the nose was broken; it had bled profusely. No call for bleeding injuries, you might note.
My wife looked at it and declared that he would need stitches; the nostril was severed from the connection to his face. Sigh.
Of course, after hours clinincs were closed, so I was prepping to take him to the ER, when he started complaining that he couldn't see well... then, that he could not see at all.
His skin went deathly grey, his lips went blue, his pupils got large and become completely unresponsive to light. His speech dropped to a sluggish whisper.
Terrified, we called 911. My wife (a former ICU nurse) feared brain trauma.
He did pink up, and the vision came back slowly. Pupils started to react again. He was covered in sweat - clearly a nice case of shock.
Fire department arrived 20 minutes later, ambulance 28 minutes later. We decided to err on the side of caution and use the ambulance, in case he stopped breathing.
No head issue, just shock; he got five stitches in his nose and was cleared to play baseball the next day. We got home at 1:15 AM.
Fun weekend.

Topic: Paranoia: Adventures in Clonesitting
Subject: in the dark...
Once your eyes adjust, the sector proves to not be completely dark, thanks to some very soft (and poorly maintained) red emergency lights recessed in odd intervals - but it is merely a step above that. It is the sort of darkness that allows one to see a bare suggestion one's hand in front of one's face - but little more.
The team follow's Artie's orders, fanning out into roughly a star shape. The going is painfully slow, and more than once, clones find themselves walking into walls, pipes, and puddles with essentially no warning. It is entirely possible that section 168 has been missed, since the emergency lights are so erratically (and oddly) spaced; many of the numbering plates are all but invisible.
At one point, Artie notices a faint light down the corridor that Slipp has taken. It appears similar to that of a candle, and the big team leader moves to investigate... but thinks better of the inefficiency. Instead, he simply makes a note that the hygeine officer apparently did have some sort of light source that he chose to not share with the team.
The light source does prove to be valuable, however; after long searching, Slipp calls back that he has found the signplate for section 168.
The sign points down, indicating a steel ladder that leads to a sublevel of SWR sector. An unpleasant smell facts strongly from the lower level.
Moving down the ladder, the team finds themselves in a small tunnel - the ceiling is only about five feet high, the corridor is very narrow (only one person at a time can fit), and the floor of the tunnel is covered by approximately half a foot of dark liquid. The unpleasant scent is much stronger here. The lights, if anything, are even dimmer here.
The tunnel extends in exactly one direction.

Subject: ..
All I have to say about this series is to never get too attached to a character. Martin is absolutely brutal. You guys act like I'm a murdering so an so, but this guy...
I almost put this series down for good partway through Storm of Swords. After a very pivitoal scene, I did physically place the down down on the table, whereupon I paced back and forth through the house wondering aloud at what had just happened. It made me just sick.
I did pick it back up, but I have made it a point since to care less about the characters. I'm not 100% sure that I like where this series is going, but I've read so much of it now that I do want to know the ending.
