I think you (and all of us) are in luck. At Gencon this year, there was a booth where people were playing what sure looked like an updated version of MLFootball. I think it's in development.

Wait, I'm confused. Didn't we just go a whole thing last week about anyone being fair game, Ned and Oberyn dying ignominiously, possibly Tyrion now too, GRRM being nihilistic, etc. And now Jon and Sam are "untouchable" because of convention?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Pink Floyd's Animals or Mastodon's Leviathan. Absolutely great concept albums (both based on books!). Those are my 2 favorites.
