Game of Thrones Exec loves Kingdom of Loathing...?

This is D.B.Weiss, one of the ridiculously youthful showrunners behind HBO's excellent Game of Thrones.

He's wearing a Kingdom of Loathing teeshirt!

Westeros - the land of Game of Thrones - is classic (brilliantly executed) Knights & Kings fantasy, reminiscent of many an MMO. And here's one of the showrunners - at least (it seems) a cartoon MMO player.

I wonder if HBO might eventually venture into gameworld with something fun for Game of Thrones? GoT Season One cost as much to make as World of Warcraft is rumoured to have - about $60m.

(Game of Thrones Season 2 in Production (spoilers!) which is where I got this screenie.)

Is he the same D.B. Weiss who wrote Lucky Wander Boy? That is a whole book about video games.

@jenn: Yes, it appears to be the same young pup.
