So that is not it.On the D&D newest edition forums that has been raised as an example for random character deaths - and so many people refute it, saying all the characters in game of thrones who die (ie, the ones they think are important) all die really big, important deaths and have plot immunity until they die that way.
I guess what Martin did well was a) the shock-value aka killing characters, even protagonists, offhandedly and b) characterization and dialogue.
