thats clearly a warhammer, brah.Oh are you bitching because we're calling a hammer a mace? Get fucked.
but how do we know that the artist didnt screw up and draw a warhammer instead of a mace?

Good question. If that is not an officially sanctioned picture by George RR Martin, then I don't believe it.thats clearly a warhammer, brah.

Bro, no one gives a shit about Areo Whosits and his Axe of +1 WhothefuckamI?Alright motherfuckers let me fix some shit...
Areo Hotah, not Oberyn. Oberyn used a (poisoned)spear, not an axe(longaxe).
I think that one actually IS GRRM sanctioned.Good question. If that is not an officially sanctioned picture by George RR Martin, then I don't believe it.
Mace vs Warhammer is the new Magazines vs Clips debate
I never knew babe ruth to exaggerate when came to matters of combat.There's a difference in me telling you who the best baseball player is and Babe Ruth saying who the best baseball player is. If someone who is as arrogant as Jaime and skilled enough to back it up says that barristan is the best... then i'm inclined to agree with him.
That *is* a giant fuck off 2handed warhammer in the picture - it's like 5ft long and has what would be ~20lb head on it. It's even got a two-handed grip, Robert is just 1handing it coz he is a boss ;pI always assumed Robert used a giant fuck off 2handed warhammer, not what's pictured in that painting. I wonder if he ever gored anyone with his hat.
Areo Hotah. He does indeed seem badass.I don't remember the name off-hand, but the Axe guy from dorne seem to be described by Martin as someone of incredible skills.
Riverrun (Tully Castle) is the regional seat of power for the Riverlands, ever since Harrenhal got Dragon'ed. Littlefinger was made Warden of the Riverlands though because the Tullys rebelled with the Starks.
I just pre'd enough to fill an otter pop sleeve.I'd love to see a GoT season showing Robert's Rebellion.
That is actually the cover for the re-release of the (pen and paper) RPG specifically for the Game of Thrones show tie in.Yeah he uses a warhammer, I just got that and mace confused. More to do with medieval weapon confusion than not being able to remember those sweet fan fic pics of Robert.

A Game of Thrones the Boardgameis good as well. Kind of Risk-ish, but way better.That is actually the cover for the re-release of the (pen and paper) RPG specifically for the Game of Thrones show tie in.
The original RPG edition had half-assed art and a fair amount of errors and was released before the show. Once the show came out and even more people wet themselves over it, and the game itself was round to be actually good, demand went up. They re-released it with errata, improved art and "Game of Thrones Edition" on the cover (As the title is "Song of Ice and Fire RPG", as someone made a shit Game of Thrones one years ago).
The game is an excellent system in its own right and I must say does a rather good job of getting the feel of the show/stories. Playing in the world that GRRM has made and fleshed out gives plenty of stuff to draw upon as there is a lot of known areas to give you familiar contact points with the show/books, but enough kind of vague or unknown areas, even in Westros itself, that you have plenty of room to make your own minor house and do your own thing. It is all quite clever.
Sorry, I'll now return you all to your regularly scheduled thread.

There is no speculation about if he will die before he finishes the books. The dude is old and fat and that will catch up to him in the next 10 years for sure.We've all read all the books and they have been discussed to death. People have nothing left to do but complain and nitpick about every little detail in the TV show. It amuses me that some of your are surprised that this is what we are talking about.
it's either that or continue to speculate that Martin will die before he finishes the series.
