Tolkien's Barrow Whites seem to be proper inhabitants for Frostgrave: link

Why would you find Barrow-wights in Frostgrave?

Hafen von Schlockenberg16 Feb 2016 6:50 a.m. PST

Was hoping for Barry White coming out of his barrow.

"Why would you find Barrow-wights in Frostgrave?"

Why not?

Adamc177616 Feb 2016 6:59 a.m. PST

Why not indead :)

I plan to use them as "Frostwraiths"

Dave Jackson Supporting Member of TMP16 Feb 2016 7:01 a.m. PST

Exactly why not…..

That was my first thought, too. And here's proof that he's trying to seduce your soul, or something like that:

Enjoy my spelling error :) Sorry I can't fix it.

Hafen von Schlockenberg16 Feb 2016 8:54 a.m. PST

Now,jpattern,just a couple of tweaks,not too much…and we'll hear that "low moan from the ground":

"Cold be hand and heart and stone--baby".

Now THAT'S Soul Seduction!

We got it together didn't we
We've definitely got our thing together, don't we Frodo?
Isn't that nice?
I mean really when you really lie on that stony slab and think about it
isn't it really really nice?
I can easily feel you slipping in more and more ways
into a withered land of the dark lord
Nobody but you … and me
We got it together babe
You're my first, my last, my Witch King

Hafen von Schlockenberg16 Feb 2016 10:08 a.m. PST

That seems familiar,somehow…

Oh yeah! The "Extended Edition"!

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut16 Feb 2016 12:02 p.m. PST

I wish we could just go phonetically, wight and white could just be wite…

MajorB16 Feb 2016 12:06 p.m. PST

I wish we could just go phonetically, wight and white could just be wite…

Or even wyte …

jpattern216 Feb 2016 12:18 p.m. PST

Don't need the silent E at the end, either: wyt.

MajorB16 Feb 2016 12:22 p.m. PST

Don't need the silent E at the end, either: wyt.

You do really. Without the "e" at the end it could be pronounced as in "wit",

jpattern216 Feb 2016 3:26 p.m. PST

No, there aren't any silent letters in phonetics. Every letter or symbol is pronounced.

To be phonetically pedantically accurate, it should be "wīt" in American English, with the long-I symbol, or "waIt" in British English, with lowercase a and an uppercase I (IIRC, it's been awhile).

MajorB16 Feb 2016 3:46 p.m. PST

No, there aren't any silent letters in phonetics. Every letter or symbol is pronounced.

I wasn't talking phonetics. I just said "wyt" can be pronounced "wit".

Winston Smith16 Feb 2016 3:47 p.m. PST

We don't want no barrow wiggets round these parts. Here?

Rubber Suit Theatre16 Feb 2016 8:34 p.m. PST

Have centuries of decay left your wights looking dingy? Brighten them up with Clorot (TM) for that just buried look!

Winston Smith16 Feb 2016 9:36 p.m. PST

But wait! There's more!

darthfozzywig17 Feb 2016 12:02 a.m. PST

Act now and we'll include a set of nine wraiths, free – plus shipping and handling.

Grelber17 Feb 2016 5:39 a.m. PST

Actually, those are nice looking figures, and Adamc1776 did a good job of painting them. I've been looking for some undead for a barrow--I need to go check these out.

Hey Adam,don't feel too bad,I'm still waiting for a major goof of mine to drop off the SF media board.Only half way there (sigh). A way to edit topic titles would be a good addition to 4.whatever.
Nicely "horrible" figures,BTW.
