This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How do YOU prevent the wight apocalypse?

Quote from: Azraele;1022317For those of you who wanted closure; the plan worked! Actually, it went off better than expected. Antipaladin failed his roll and a hilarious combat ensued with decapitated wight children and many levels drained on both sides. Fun was had! And my player learned not to abuse his god-sent gift without proper forethought and planning.

Frankly it was a fun little icebreaker to start the session with. Set an upbeat and humorous tone!

They just seem a little weird

Speaking of great hunters, Elmer Fudd once said:

Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace

I am very sad that all the wight puns were beaten to death before I had a chance to post in this thread.

But I feel obliged to observe that four wrongs squared, minus two wrongs to the fourth power, divided by this formula, do make a wight.

I like this post, because it means you have an answer to the wightpocalypse: "Confine them to an island"

Also; fun map margins! "Here there be Dragons but over HERE there be WIGHTS so you best step the f$^% OFF SON"

I remember reading years ago that some GM's solution to this problem was to have all wights be part of a shadowy protection racket, sort of like "You leave us alone to do our wight thing, and we don't apocalypsise your setting." I thought that was funny.

Yeah. I mean, obviously it started as a pun, but it works.

Any Dark Albion/Lion & Dragon setting definitely needs an Isle of Wights.

I'm not sure how that's true. But I do think it's fun to have.
