Well I decided I should give it a go, to a campaign set in Westeros using the Green Ronin system and rules (with some house rules of course).
While I'm new in PBP DM, im not new playing PBP or DM in real life, that aside I search for at least 4-6 (maybe 7) players that would like to play in this setting, rules and DM new to PBP DMing stuff.
I shall post later on how to create a house and character for those that do not own the book and still wish to play regardless (maybe a bit of an explanation of the system also), and in addition my house rules for the game of course.

Um, I would hazard a guess that there were no immediate replies due to the unfortunate fact of your missive being placed under the wrong heading. Now that your thread is in the correct spot, I predict you will have a deluge of people showing interest.
*Bows*
Most probably, it wasn't intentional and I'll wait until there are about at least 4 players.
Wandslinger do you have the A Song of Ice and Fire core book?
Seems my copy is actually made by Guardians of Order, Inc, Sword & Sorcery, using the D20 OGL. It's also 500 pages O_o

Yes indeed the Green Ronin one is about the same (maybe longer) and the Delux version Sword & Sorcery (A Game of Thrones) is much bigger.
Seems I got 2 players (or possible players) so far.
Any questions about the system are more than welcome I'll try to make it simple and help you step by step in Character, Noble House and units for warfare.
What did you have in mind for the game? Would the players create their own noble house? Are we nobles, retainers, or smallfolk? Where would the house be located? etc.

Well you will create your own house, this means you decide were you want it really.
You can be heir (only 1) rest are just noble sons of the house, sworn swords, wards, hedge knights, squires, etc...
I suppose I better give my house rules about now also.
1.-Players can't be Lords of the House (narrator reasons and freedom for players to do more things)
2.-Maester is optional and only under my approval (since it's not an easy choice).
3.-House creation comes first.
4.-Minimum of 4 players (its a very deadly game) maximum 7(House rolls)

I have the core book, and have read it thoroughly. I've never gotten the chance to play it, so I have a LOT of concepts. I'm also very familiar with the setting, having read Martin's series-to-date at least twice so far.
I tend to favor warrior types, with respectable Intrigue stats just so Schemers can't manipulate me as easily.
Since I see house rules already, what are your feelings on superior equipment? Cost, availability, can you get superior armor? Jaime's armor from the campaign guide actually makes full plate useful for a large portion of play.
I've had the book a while, but really haven't looked at it much. I'll give it a glance. With the HBO Mini Series coming next month, I might be excited to play.

Well bastard children to be honest don't fare very well in their own region or House for some reason.
As to Superior equipment goes probably won't let you start with one, unless you are or have an Artisan in your house maybe I can allow it. As far as armors goes I have a bit of a house rules in armors since it needed a little tweak.
Well I have the minimum player's required and just waiting for more but we can start the creation of the Noble House if you guys want it in a game discussion thread I will create today.
I'll just give it the rest of the day to see if at least 1 or 2 more players show up, but we will continue with house creation.
I can give you a hand if you guys want with this and get you started.
Before I start looking at character creation, is there any particular role that people want to play? We might as well plan a little bit so we have some balance.
Found it
Oh no, since I don't have the books I think I will pass.
Is this game still going to happen? I'd love to play in it. I recently finished A Storm of Swords and got a Feast of Crows coming on the mail. :)
