About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that...
They aren't immune to fire. The night king might be (looked more like he has a frost aura that put the small fire out), but not the wights/army. It's pretty much unknown vs dragon fire or wild fire, my guess is that they will burn to a crisp (sans night king himself). [Reply]
The books are not to the point of explaining the Wights and the Night King. So all we have is D&D's vision that may or may not follow GRMM vision.
If I'm remembering correctly in the Hodor episode wasn't it at insinuated that the first man in that ceremony was a Stark? Created to protect them from man? Or was that some Redditt theory I'm remembering? [Reply]

Couldn't be more true, but you'd have to know before you go.
I don't need realism to the point of seeing the actual vomit on a ship floor, or the contents of a chamber pot pouring out in the foreground and up-close. Making me retch isn't my idea of entertainment. That's during the less violent and gory blood scenes—which seems to be more than half of the story with few redeeming characters.
I had to take a break on Sunday night from it by getting a comedy or something uplifting. It helped. [Reply]
The Night King was the 13th Lord Commander of the Nights Watch and is believed to be a Stark(The original Three Eyed Raven was his friend, and a Targaryen). He might be immune to fire, but the Wights sure aren't. [Reply]

I'm pretty sure that the book Night's King (who you describe, and who deserted the Night's Watch when he fell in love with a female Other) is not the same as the show Night King.
Per GRRM: “In the books he is a legendary figure, akin to Lann the Clever and Brandon the Builder,” Martin writes on his Not-A-Blog, “And no more likely to have survived to the present day than they have.” [Reply]

To be fair, it's not actual vomit.
I was in the Navy - I've seen plenty of actual vomit on a ship floor. Smelled it and had to step through it a time or two, as well. :-) [Reply]
