    Default Newest Arc book title guessing game; Ready, GO!

    Well, now that we're a decent way through the newest book (a couple hundred pages; probably about halfway), what do we think the title of this arc will be in book form?

    Any guesses, likely or not, accepted!

    My personal contribution, although it's not very good, is "Tyrinarian Nights."

    "Unjust Deserts" is still my guess.

    Since Tarquin will probably be the main villain of the book, how about Family Duels?

    Haven't all except "Start of Darkness" had D&D related titles / puns? I suspect this one will too.

    Most have been puns, usually on classic works:

    "Start of Darkness" -- "Heart of Darkness"
    "On the Origin of PCs" -- "On the Origin of Species"
    "Can't Beat the Paladin Blues" -- "Can't Beat the Summertime Blues"
    "No Cure for the Paladin Blues" -- "No Cure for the Summertime Blues"
    "War and XPs" -- "War and Peace"
    "Don't Split the Party" -- Not a pun.
    "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales" -- "Snips, Snails, and Puppy-Dog Tails"

    Of course, I'm pretty sure that the Giant said that he wanted to change things up recently, which is why he went with "Don't Split the Party" instead of "A Tale of Two Parties." So we might see something without such a pun this time around, too.

    The Tyrinaria thing was a big reveal, he's not going to undercut that by including it in the title of the book.

    No, but Belkar's parallel universe Soon sent back in time and cloned that's part cyborg. (If we're putting forth crazy theories that probably aren't true.)

    So the title of the next book is "Son of Dirt"?

    I'd figure more along the lines of "Son of Blood" if it had to be son of something. Though I know a lot of people want there to be a "son of snarl".

    Since we haven't even reached the main climax (and with Tarquin's revealing of his plan the only thing I'd consider coming even close), I'd say it's anyone's guess at this point. That being said, I like 'All in the Family' if it stays centred around Tarquin/Elan/Nale.

    "Return of the Dead Guy" which has the double-meaning of making a Star Wars pun and emphasizing that Roy is actually a part of the action this time.

    EDIT: As well as the LG having been presumed dead.

    -The war just started, but was foreshadowed at the end of the previous book.
    -The party was still split.

    So at this point in the previous books, you could have been able to guess the name of the book. I doubt anyone did, but it was theoretically possible.
