      Which Schwarzenegger? Conan Schwarzenegger? Terminator Schwarzenegger? Governor Schwarzenegger? What is his story arc?
      As a person, Schwarzenegger the frost giant consistently works on improving himself. He trains his strength and faces terrible monsters, so that he can become known for his great strength and and amazing courage in battle.
      As his popularity grows, other giants and warriors flock to him, forming a clan. Through example and through his great motivational speeches, he trains his warrior clan, and leads them to victory after victory in battle.
      Eventually he settles down, and founds the frost giant city Coldflower (Coldifornia), where he becomes its very popular jarl (governor). All hail Jarl Schwarzenegger of Coldflower!

    Ugg I don't like knowing that we are half way through S.Q.saga. I've been really enjoying tho and I'm always looking forward to the next episode. I need to know what happens next. Edit: obviously I don't want it to go on forever that wouldn't be nice for you guys, but I enjoy it so much I'll miss the characters when its done. You've done a good job making characters that I care about.

    I have liked and commented! I continue to serve the chill dungeoncast!
    I say screw the superbowl! This is the real show to be watching on sunday! And for the lords of knowledge and laughter I would toss down my weapons and wrestle any frost giant into submission! I'll conquer their jarls and become the jarl! Then with my new frost giant army I shall lead a crusade against evil in the good names of will and brian!
    Ok so I agree they should have a weakness to fire. Its nonsensical for them not too, seriously that other type basically being part troll essentially has a double type weakness to fire! (In pokemon terms at least) he'd get fuckin destroyed!
    Question, for the year of the giant do you guys think you'll cover titans? As far as I know they are higher in the ordining (sorry if I spelt that wrong) than storm giants.
    If I can join in on the question of what fantasy race you guys would be I don't have a great idea for will but I imagine brian as a halfling, because I think in the halfling episode will said something about halflings being generally likeable and being able to fit into different soceities because of it.
    I sort of get that vibe from Brian, like he's a happy go lucky halfling on a continuing adventure into the world of d&d as Will guides and teaches him like an elder elf lol.
    For me I would be a dragon. I don't care if that's a normally playable race I'd be a dragon. They are intelligent free thinking beings so I'm counting them as a race, and no one can tell me otherwise because I'm a fucking dragon! Lmao. Probably silver given I don't think my personality would lend very well to the evil natures of the cromatics and I think I'm generally nice. Then again as you can probably tell from my long comments I like conversation, so maybe I'd be a brass or copper dragon. Which ever one it is that pins people down and makes them talk, I always get the two mixed up darn it.
    I wonder what race others would say I'd be. That'd be interesting. Anyway that's all for this week's comment, have a good day all. :)

    Love your guys' videos, been watching a bunch of them while prepping for my weekly sessions with the fam. One suggestion: When you guys get off topic, but then realize it and try to get back on topic, you may benefit from switching the conversation back to the topic at hand without acknowledging it (Without saying sorry, or "but we should be talking about X" or whatever. You guys get on tangents, and that's good, it's fun and informative, and shows your have a good chemistry. Those little moments where one of you is like "now we have to stop doing this and go back to the topic of the video" are fine, but I think you can find a smooth way to just bring it back around more casually. Much love, keep it cool.

    Frost giants are not really low intelligence creatures. They have an average Int of 9.
    Frost giants are only very slightly dumber than humans, on average. On average. In a group of frost giants, the smartest giant might not be the leader, but they might advise, or come up with ideas, or counter-tactics against an annoying party of adventurers.

    2800 lbs. is SO MUCH less than frost or any giants should wiegh... for context, a male orca (killer whale) can wiegh from 12,000 lbs. to 22,000 lbs. ... max length of an orca is 32 feet... of a frost giant is 20 ft. tall, even adjusting for possible differences is body composition and volume one would assume ANY humanoid made of flesh and bone standing 20 ft. tall would have to wieght AT LEAST something like 8000 lbs. or a lot more.... not no 2800... who fuckin writes the wieghts at D&D?
