Has anyone talked about a Diplomacy map that features Westoros? It would be really cool. Just think about being Tywin Lannister as the Westerlands.

That could potentially give copyright issues.

There is a Game of Thrones board game which is effectively Diplomacy with a bunch of extra rules added on top. Very possible to pick up a copy and play it with regular Diplomacy rules. It comes with a couple of map variants so you can play with fewer players too.

I disagree on the variants; they are extremely unbalanced beyond playable.
That said, GoT boardgame is indeed nice. I've played it a lot. Gives that same feeling Diplomacy does and it has some nice features. Takes 6 hours if everyone knows the rules. I would strongly advise against playing it without someone present that knows the rules.

It might give us a better ending than the crap they served up for entire final season..

What about for web diplomacy? Has anyone asked for such a map here? Is anyone working on one?

We only offer variants that are carefully selected. A brand new map probably wouldn't stand a chance. I would recommend posting this question on our sister site:

I like the Greyjoy and Tyrell starting positions.

I am definitely not joining. Not into variants.

With all the craze for chaos lately, I had a thought: Westeros Chaos. Each player could take on a different character from GoT and play it out as messy as it should be.

I had also been working on a Westeros variant about 5 years ago before being told that neither WebDip or Vdip would ever host it due to copyright concerns - so I doubt we'd be able to play anything like that in a site format.

Really interesting thought, never talked about it yet
