What is dead may never die… After an interminable scheduling process, and an even lengthier edit, the fabled “Queensmoot” chapter reading finally emerges from the Darkling Depths. Eleven salty vassals wade onto the shores of Pyke to claim their crowns, and perform “The Drowned Man” from George R. R. Martin’s A Feast for Crows.

VoK 130: Full Cast(le) Recording #6 – High Noon at the Tower of Joy

Posted on August 2, 2014 by | 1 comment

TowerOfJoy

In the latest Full Cast(le) Recording, the Vassals get inside Ned Stark’s head and flashback to the Tower of Joy during Robert’s Rebellion. We meet some badass Kingsguard and discover the roots of R+L=J, as well as enjoying several cups of Arbor Gold with Robert and Cersei, while Ned recovers from Jaime’s attack.

The FCR proper ends at 14:35 and is followed by an Aftershow in which we tackle all things Kingsguard, ponder some interesting “what-if” scenarios, and generally agree that Criston Cole was the worst.

The Cast:
Greg (claudiusthefool) – Narrator
Duncan (Valkyrist) – Eddard Stark
Leigh (LordManderBlee) – Gerold Hightower / Robert Baratheon
Shane (easttexasdirewolf) – Oswell Whent / Vayon Poole
Jed (jed o’white hart) – Arthur Dayne
Tanja (Scilens) – Lyanna Stark
Zach (Alias) – Alyn
Amber (amberrocks) – Cercei Lannister

The Crew:
Greg (claudiusthefool) – Host / Editor
Jed (jed o’white hart) – Interstitial Music
Silent Partner – Backing Music
Amoko – Image Art

VoK 129: Book Club (Vol.1) – The Ocean at the End of the Lane (by Neil Gaiman)

Posted on July 24, 2014 by | 5 comments

TheOceanAtTheEndOfTheLaneThe Vassals of Kingsgrave kick off the VOK Book Club with their discussion of The Ocean at the End of the Lane, by Neil Gaiman.

Join hosts Greg (claudiusthefool), Leigh (LordManderBlee ), Brett (White Raven), Zach (Alias), Amber (amberrocks), and Matt (Eiffel) as they analyze the short but powerful novel, touching on what it really means to be a helpless child in a world of adult cruelty; the responsibility of Gods (old or new) to their creations; the power of memory; and how easily we can forget the most formative events of our childhood.

Please be sure to vote on the forums for our next Book Club pick!

VoK 118: The Rogue Prince (by George R. R. Martin) – “The Blacks” Edition

Posted on July 2, 2014 by | Leave a comment

Dragon

Fashionably late as only the Blacks can be, vassals Duncan (Valkyrist), Zach (Alias), Nadia, Peter (Shellfish), Leigh (LordManderBlee), and Michael (Mordion)  review and dissect the latest novella by George R. R. Martin, entitled The Rogue Prince.

During the episode, they lament Daemon Targaryen’s transformation from “cool dark” to “scumbag dark,” the implications of Martin’s new Wikipedia-writing style, and the arcane origins of dragonglass.

Warning: Contains spoilers for all published books in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire

VoK 75: The Hedge Knight (by George R. R. Martin)

Posted on March 18, 2014 by | 5 comments

hedgeknight1

The Vassals raise their pavilions at Ashford Meadow to discuss The Hedge Knight, the first story in George R. R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg series of novellas. Topics include the role of smallfolk in Westeros and the main story, knights and knighthood, how coinage and the economy of Westeros functions, the age old question of who has a right and claim to rule, and why fahrenheit is better than celsius. Zach (Alias), Bina (Bina007), Vikram (FortyTwo), Amanda (MiddleCyclone), Michael (Mordion), Leigh (LordManderblee) and Nadia (Nadia) also consider various theories that the story has spawned and how they relate to the A Song of Ice and Fire world at large.
