It would be nice to get those as titles here, but previously such a title would have been thought to be too spoilerish...

What's interesting, at least to me, is that these sound spoilery now, having read the strips. But if I hadn't read the strips already, I'm not sure they are spoilers ... more like what a trailer is to a movie.

Dead adventurers pretty much is spoilery.
But then there was a tweet around which already announced dead characters anyway....

I still think too much caution is being attempted. People can (and do) go look at the titles of upcoming episodes of their favorite TV series - and sometimes those titles are spoilery ... at least you think so, until you actually watch the episode.

Dead Adventures: Yes, sounds very spoilery, as if our beloved adventurers are in for it... until you read the strip and discover it is some 'other' adventurers.

Anyway, not my decision to make (whew!), and I certainly don't crave trying to be first with the new topic, either.

If I see no thread available, I do create one. Mostly because I hate American Date Notation (mm/dd/yyyy), and as OpeningPoster I can avoid that.

And I don't mind spoilery titles. Mostly because if you see that a new thread is there, you go and look at the page as soon as possible, possibly having opened the thread only to get a link to the page, and not having read anything else. The spoiler won't be effective for more than the time it takes to load the page and read it.
"Spoilery" titles are more descriptive about the content, so the actual discussion thread can be more easily found if the update schedule is somewhere near the previous 5 per 3 weeks.

"Up Is Safer Than Down" could be spoilerish for the page where the GAP+M is taken to safety under the ceiling by the vines... ( http://www.goblinscomic.com/05302015/ ),...

At my house, we don't even watch the previews for the next episode of shows. My daughter flips out if "next week on..." starts to play.

But it was Thunt who requested that we not use spoilery titles, wasn't it? Or am I misremembering?
