What happens when the BBEG is the one who pulls out your setting's

Depends on the setting.

I didn't vote for him.

No. Only the dumb kids who are easily swayed by that sort of thing do. Everyone else opposes him and makes his dramatic speeches and posing look really stupid after three quarters of his army are killed by mass fire from a larger, better-equipped force.

Well yeah, but it hasn't exactly made him happy. He has to keep struggling just to stop everything going wrong.

>>51929826
He starts putting people who call him "BBEG" into death camps.

IF I WENT ROUND SAYING I WAS AN EMPEROR JUST BECAUSE SOME MOISTENED BINT LOBBED A SCIMITAR AT ME, WHY THEY'D PUT ME AWAY!

No thank you.

>>51929826
Yep. The campaigns over, thanks for playing. BBEG won, everyone go home.

Corrupt and Opressive status quo or bloody authoritarian revolution that will change things for the worse

Depends on the rules of the sword in the stone.

Is he the 'rightful' king, or the destined one? Wording matters.


If he is rightful, then all that means is that he wins the succession game. Its a good tool for establishing who sits on the throne and preserves the current power structure in a crises, but if he is a huge asshole then he isn't actually any better or worse than anyone else crowned king.

If he is the destined king, well we have a problem. He is GOING to win. Prophecy and all that. Our best bet is to go underground, research the prophecy, and see what we can do about it.
For example, we won't be able to stop him from becoming king. But unless the prophecy keeps going, we can just wait for him to take the throne and THEN kill him. Let the prophecy resolve before making out move and getting in the way of fate going at 60 mph.
