              Banning puns would just be Draconian, even for a nation as stuffy as Gastionia.

      Well, considering that Gastonia has its various Guilds established (Adventurer’s Guild being the new addition) & the fact that modern day Unions are based upon the old organizational structures of those old Guilds, he’s already got a lot of people “working on scales” anyway.

            Evidently, both of you have seem to forgotten that the gods themselves were often drunk. The Greeks used to pour out the dregs of their winecups as a sacrifice to them & one of their gods was consistently a drunkard (or have you forgotten Dionysus?). Can you imagine the mental state of gods drunk on the *dregs* of wine?

            Yeah, Gastonia needs all the help it can get.

            If so, it’s pretty darn big for being one of THOSE critters. The ones in Dragonquest were about the size of some of the largest of modern dog-species. The one shown here would have to have been the “grandaddy of them all.”

    Ardaic should host a YouTube channel. He’s got things to talk about and does it with style. The way he wraps up with a bit of philosophical food for thought, a pun, and what seems to be a standard parting phrase, reminds me of Michael Stevens of Vsauce. “And, as always: Thanks for watching.”

      Now, I have to admit, the tag line in those ads, “stay thirsty my friends” sounds to me like the man is recommending that you should NOT drink the beverage being advertised. He COULD quench his thirst, but beer would be a last resort. And that brand would merely be the least objectionable choice of beers.
      Beer? No thanks, I’ll stay thirsty.
