Game of Thrones (apocalypse world hack)

Hello!
We have played a few session and it would be great if we could bring in one more player.
If you live in europe and can play the set time let me know below. Give me your skype so we can talk so I can find out if you would fit into this game.

Set in Westeros c.a 100 years after the war of the five kings (so around 100 years after the books/show). The story is very open for you, the players, to create your own space in it. Since this game allows you to play roles which can be very influential in the large scale of things I don't want you to feel restricted about creating, for instance, your own house or your own faction. If someone wishes to play a character with a lot of influence, remember that you will be a player in the game of thrones. If you don't move the pieces you will become one. Basically be proactive and make sure your character has goals to work towards. You can find the roles here:

We will make the characters during the first session so think about some different roles you would want to play.

In this timeline Robb Starks rebellion did succede and the north became its own country separate from the rest of Westeros. The King in the north rules from Winterfell. The South is still ruled from Kings landing where the old houses of Lannister, Baratheon, Tyrell and Martell still stick together in an uneasy alliance. The Iron Islanders have little connection to the rest of Westeros anymore besides pillaging and plundering along the west coast.

I have gm:ed and played roleplaying games for quite some time but I'm new to this format. I really like roleplaying and I find apocalypse world and most games that are powered by the apocalypse gives a great blend of roleplaying and mechanics.

I'm looking for some people who would like to play regularly, hopefully every week. You don't have to know the rules of this particular roleplaying game since the mechanics are very simple and you will pick it up fast. It's more roleplay centric so if you value roleplay that creates gameplay I'm sure you will have a good time with this roleplay. That you are able to speak english fluently is a requirement.
The players I'm looking for should preferably have some experience with the Song of Ice and Fire world but not that much is required. If you know more about it I'm sure you will find the game more satisfying though. I want to keep the general theme of dark low-fantasy so keep that in mind. It's focused (so far in the books) mostly on human conflicts and how these conflicts create consequences.

This game is set 100 years in the future to make sure we can create our own story. I have tried to play this game set in the time of the books and the show and though it was interesting it was also very restrictive since I (the gm) had to act like the already established characters. Also the sheer amount of characters already established made it hard for me to make up new ones.

We will talk through Skype when we start playing.

Post below with some basic info about yourself. Do you know the GoT world? Are you an experienced roleplayer? Where in the world do you live? Also write your skypename or PM me.

Short info about the ruleset (taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_World ). The mechanics are based around basic moves (skills everyone has) and special moves ( skills/ abilities unique to your character). The skill checks are based on 2d6 + (statbonus) where 10+ is a success 7-9 is a partial success and 6 and lower is a miss and a chance for the GM to create problems.
Thanks for reading :)
