We know the story of GAME OF THRONES, but how about getting it started? One can only imagine what it took to get an adaptation like that from the printed page to the small screen. Apparently it took 2 passionate fans, executive producers and writers David Benioff and Dan Weiss, and a call to creator George R.R. Martin.

At least that’s how it kicked off. Oh, and they did have to answer one question from Martin correctly, or at least to his liking.

Basically, it’s a cool little video that HBO put together explaining how the series came about. Bonus– the narration is done by Charles Dance AKA Tywin Lannister. Check it out below.

Note: there are some spoilers for those who are new to the series.

GAME OF THRONES returns on April 6, 2014.
