alrighty friends here is what i could find for the themes we have used...i am sure it needs to be updated...but that is not my forte

...and cheers to @yomi a terrific player, host and worldclass organizer who left us this great list...i miss her

in fact looking back makes me want to tag a few others to see if we can get an old timer or two to put down the book of faces...or whatever else they may be holding...and come home to the board to play a game...

whatcha think @Dolorous Gabe

 

 

taken from the old registry which has been archived...these are the words and work of @yomi  :bowdown:

In this registry you'll find the themes used in the acroPHILIA game listed, to make it easier for future hosts to give new and exiting themes and not accidently use old, done and boring ones default_biggrin.png

more of @yomi's great work

 

A first idea for sorting the themes... it certainly needs more work:

 

 

 

Family relations:

 

  • Youngest sibling / youngest child
  • Characters who are theorized to have Targaryen blood
  • Characters who fathered at least one daughter
  • Characters with (known) Targaryen ancestry
  • Relatives of Kingsguards

 

 

Characters' actions:

 

  • Wedded during the course of the ASOIF books
  • Served or helped a major POV character
  • Have knowingly hidden or concealed their real identity at some point
  • Sailed the Narrow Sea
  • Characters who had consensual, extramarital sex
  • Characters who said "Words are wind"

 

 

Miscellaneous:

 

  • Baldness / characters described at some points as either bald or balding
  • Dead characters
  • Essosi origin
  • Characters who have nicknames that start with the word "The"
  • Characters who are hated by fans
  • The first letters of the characters' first names formed the words 'North remembers'
  • Characters who have a namesake in the Frey family
  • Characters appearing in the prologues
  • Children born 290 AC and later
  • Characters with broken betrothals

 

and some of my own words...

here are the stats you need to make it easy for you... ;)

Themes:

Characters called "sweetling" on page.

Women who appear naked on page for reasons other than sex.

Characters that share a drink with Tyrion on page.

Character above spoke to character below, on page, about their own or another's penis.

Men that were known to visit Chataya's Brothel.

Lucky 13

Host: Sniffer, King of the Debauched :devil:

Length: 5 rounds

Scoring: 3 points for correct answer. 5 points for correct round-theme guess with graduated points for closeness. 1 author point for each correct guess of your clue. Each favorite vote for your clue is also worth 1 point. Bonuses: 5 points for speed and accuracy, 5 points for figuring out "uber" game-theme.

Winner: Fragile Bird

 

hope this what you need...this registry is valuable to my ability to brilliantly solve these clues and themes... :mellow:
