@balerion If you dont know anything about GRRM's works aside from dragons and politics, how accessible is BoD?

Our general recommendation in this case is that you play a previously CGed character, ideally one who'll be based in King's Landing, as those areas are the most "typical" fantasy-medieval (Dorne is a bit more "Arabian Nights"). There's plenty of information on the web, on wikis such as ours and our articles for the game and so on. We've just entered the final year of the reign of King Baelor the Blessed, and the wiki article there will give you a sense of what things are like in his reign.

Adding a spin to @magee101 's question:

How well would you do if you have a reasonable grasp of fictional medieval politics and low fantasy settings?

I think you could do pretty well! As I noted above, this is the last year of Baelor's reign -- he's become increasingly driven by religious visions and overzealous piety -- so that's one source of tensions and friction. His young cousin Prince Daeron just got married to a princess of the rival kingdom of Dorne as part of Baelor's efforts to make peace, and so that's another source of potential friction. There's room for people to advance at court, and we've created a court structure that tries to divy up court positions in various areas, and give a hierarchy people can aim for. (There's a similar file for the court in Sunspear, as well.)
