Looking for a GM - ASoIaF.

We would love to have a back-up GM, and we'd be cool if you feel like making a character too and want to co-GM.

Starts at 9pm pacific time on Saturdays, ends at around 1 or 2 am, but we could change times to fit what would work better with you.

I'm sorry but who are "We", exactly? I understand this is for an established group - can you tell us a little more? Like... How many other players are there? I'd be reluctant to join groups with more than 5 players at any one time - in my experience overcrowding makes quality roleplaying virtually impossible. What level of familiarity with the Song of Ice and Fire franchise do you want from someone looking to join? I know the game system well enough to play and run in it, and I played most PC games based on the world, though when it comes to the original book series I'm only at the middle of the first one and I don't watch the TV show. For some people that's good enough, others think if you haven't already read "A Dance with Dragons" you just don't have value as a human being or something. What kind of style are you guys into? Are you all playing members of the same noble House and engage in intrigue-heavy adventures that permeate with the gritty nature of humans and their byzantine schemes... Or is this more of a classical fantasy Roaming Adventurers who freely explore the world without being tied down to anything or anyone? What exactly would it mean to Co-GM versus Back-up GM? What's required of either of those things? What's the difference between them?

P.S. You forgot to mention - is a working microphone a requirement?

Do you have a Skype, because this would be much easier. 1.4 players (A 5th who is a bit irregular in when he can play, so, we keep him in smaller roles.) 2. Really just a basic understanding is needed, everything else can be summed up, I have some notes on lore, etc. 3. We really have no ties to a house, but all strive for power, so basically, option 2 in the sense of open world, but things don't wait for us and people scheme against us and most people are cynical asshats. 4. Our GM may need to drop, So we're looking for someone comfortable with a full-GM position, but if you'd like another person to help out, I could totally try. A working mic is preferred, but not NEEDED. I can give more info over Skype about the party, but I'm too lazy to type it.
