Spin-offs I could see working:

The Conquest of Westeros. Obvious choice. The Seven Kingdoms before they were ever united. Epic scope. Big stakes. Dragons.

The Broken King. The chaotic reign of Aegon III, too young to control his regents, which included as much intrigue and backstabbing as Game of Thrones itself.

The War of the Ninepenny Kings. Featuring a young Barristan Selmy. Jaehaerys II could be an interesting character as well - young and sickly, but wise king.

Tales of the Chain. Each season covers some kind of intrigue or mystery surrounding a different Maester and the realm he's assigned to (a la Fargo).

And the article says Martin will write scripts as well. Just what we need, another project for Martin to spend his ever-dwindling energy on. You gotta hand it to the guy - he may be the all-time greatest procrastinator in the history of literature.
