Come up with Names for the "Rounds" so far in the current book.
So you guys know how Rich has cute little names for the chapters in the Print Books? What do you think the names for the ones in book 6 will be? As best as I can tell, there are currently 6 "rounds," including the current one:
1. Introductory Airship stuff
2. Tinkertown
3. Godsmoot
4. Team Evil and the Paladins
5. Frost Giant Fight
6. Temple of Thor
What do you guys think some of these might get named?

If he doesn't slip a "The Gods Must Be Crazy" reference/pun in there somewhere, I'll eat my (nonexistent) hat. (And yes, I'm aware that one was already made in OOTS #40, but I think it's been long enough that he's allowed another.)

Re: Come up with Names for the "Rounds" so far in the current book.
I will propose that the Godsmoot chapter will be called something like "Godawful Mess"

I can see the transitory Hel & Thrym/Vampires strips being a round. It's about as long as a Team Evil sequence.

The Team Evil sequence is 12 strips long. The scene with Hel and Thrym is 4 and I think it would fit into the current round decently. Originally Posted by Gift Jeraff

Re: Come up with Names for the "Rounds" so far in the current book.
The 12 is counting each numbered strip as a strip, not each book equivalent page. It's 14 book page equivalents. 9 Strips / 10.5 pages would probably be the shortest chapter since the NCftPB epilogue. Even Originally Posted by Gift Jeraff
"Face the Nation" in the last book was 11 strips / 12 pages before bonus material, and 14 with it. ("All the wrong places" was also 11 strips, but it had more double pages).
Edit: Gonna eat a little Crow here, "The Prisoner" in DStP was 10 one-page strips, which is one more strip but one half a page less pages. I still think there's precedent for for The Thrym / vampire sequence to be part of the current chapter, though, as both parts of "Advanced Diversions and Distractions" that appeared online were about as long as this sequence and they were more thematically different from eachother than that sequence was from what's happening now.Last edited by Procyonpi; 2017-11-30 at 08:52 PM.

Re: Come up with Names for the "Rounds" so far in the current book.
Suggestion for Chapter 5, with the frost giants - "Mutiny on the Mountain", or some variant thereof. Would be just like the Giant to make a reference a classic film (The Bounty).

Re: Come up with Names for the "Rounds" so far in the current book.
If there's not a section called "to Hel in a handbasket" then I will be suprised. Possibly "The road to Hel is paved with Lawful intentions"

Possibly whatever chapter Hilgya finally meets up with Durkon in, could be titled "And Mommy Hates Me"... (referencing "And Baby Makes Three")
