Punchline Corner

"Ramppunk? I thought you said stamppunk!"

Wait. Hold on. Mages casting spells from stamps. Maybe they turn into familiars, some of them wearing tophats. Hey! If you take my idea, give me a million dollars! At least!

Addendum

Less sassy than their owners that is, not than the town guard or the stuffy noble who's about to get the starch taken out of those ruffles. Shouldn't be starching his ruffles anyway. What's this clown think he's doing?

Reason Corner

Thinking about it, shouldn't animal companions and magical weapons be less sassy on average? They don't need to accrue social status at the expense of their peers.

Addendum

Of course you can have fighting tournaments with familiars, but watch out you don't get sued. Can clumsy maids compete in fighting tournaments along with their familiars wearing tophats? Most assuredly, my friends.
