Needed: Clever People with Clever Words
🕑 Added 2025-02-04 03:36:32 +0000 UTCButcher Volume 1 is heading to the narrator. It's slated to come out in July.
But...I need a tagline! A clever quip. Something niftier than "Welcome to Sedgewick." Much as I felt that was appropriate, it's not going to work for Amazon.
I immediately thought of "Have Cleaver, will Travel." but he doesn't really travel until book 3. And I doubt many people still remember the old western series with Paladin.
So, anyone have a clever idea?

“Welcome to Sedgewick, where the sausage is made”?
Douglas
A simple "Now hiring" could work

Anything can be a sausage when your only tool is a cleaver Sedgewick: Where there's no loophole too small (and no task too big) Contract exploitation done right
Tom Pulk
Bloody butcher bootstraping

Definitely one of my favourites, love the implication that it's different kinds of butchery

Back to the classic: Everything is (can be) sausage here... literally.

I have to be honest, I stopped reading the series after maybe 50 chapters. I picked up on the sausage thing just a bit ago. So yeah, into the pit with me. I agree.

Butcher Pete... Now would that character be found in A: The Pit or B: The Endless Dance due to its song origins? Can bosses roam or moonlight in different dungeons?
Alexis Lionel
He's whacking, and hacking, and chopping! He whacks, hacks, chopping that meat!

One flew over the butcher's block.

If you’re talking about a Subtitle, then maybe something like “First Cuts” or “Fresh off the Block.” if you want to include a little foreshadowing, you could go with “Everything’s Sausage!”

isn't it terrible when an author gets... Butcher's Block! Ohohohaha

"If you want to make magical sausage, get ready for the grind." - I think the first half could be tightened up but you get the idea

Armies, players, elites, knights, are all well and good, but when it comes to butchering the enemy, you need a real butcher

Corporate Butcher, monster butcher. Get the chop, make a chop, it's all the same to the cleaver.
Veracis
It's so difficult to quantify a story that incorporates the isekai/vrmmo/village SoL/LitRPG/Corporate tropes so many eastern and western fantasy novels try to identify as and yet still emerges greater than the sum of it's parts. The underlying draw for readers in the first volume reside within the struggle of a few against conglomerates and a rather pliable reality, so maybe Village vs Kingdom and Corporate

The ones that I thought of were: "A good bug is just a feature waiting to happen" "Work Smarter, Play Harder" "When Playing hard is hardly working" "Virtually Anything can end up on the chopping block..." "Sometimes you need to game the system to get the job done..." "Wholesale Slaughter, for fun & profit - ACME Edition" "Mystery, Meat & Mystery Meat"

But more seriously: "Corporate problems require medieval solutions" "Small town problems require corporate solutions" "Behind every great middle manager is a great chef" "Local experts in gaming the system excited about new, 'ungameable' system" "Expert NPC, will travel"

"No one like knowing how the sausage gets made" though maybe more appropriate for book 2 when they really start sneaking around maybe go with "cutting meat, slashing costs"

I love the book "Have space suit, will travel." So how about another one of Heinlein's books. Instead of "The Door in the Summer" how about The Door in the Sedgwick.
