D&D 5E Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants

[Snarf Zagyg]

What the hell does Bigby have to do with giants. Feels like a random D&D name to pull out for this book.

Completely agree. Then again, what else are you going to do with the D&D equivalent of Quentin Tarantino, except for hands?

….not that there’s anything wrong with that.

They should call it "Big by Bigby."

I would love to see Irda, which might happen as a DL tie-in

Also Ocean Giants - 20 ft long merfolk with whale flukes

include Oni too and some other ‘ethnic giants’ from different real world cultures from the Hecatoncheires and Gigantes of Greece, through the Kuafu of China, the Kapre of Phillipines, the crystalline Cherufe of Chile to the Fachan, Cewri and Ettins of Britain

Never heard of Ocean Giants, sounds cool.

Literally no 5e settings have any of the Dawn War Mythos. Do you perhaps mean the first world, or the great wheel?

Exandria and the Forgotten Realms do have the Dawn War Mythos. Its mentioned in the dmg as well.

Giant Hands?

I’m pretty sure FR has no such thing, and if it does it’s because they kept it from 4e, and Exandria wasn’t made by wotc so it can’t really be a case of them shoehorning anything.

Keeping something from a previous edition and publishing a world they didn’t build don’t equate to “forcing it into every setting”.

If you were going to use any wizard for giants Gargantua would be the obvious choice

Worth noting that Bigby has already been used as a secondary narrator, in Tome of Foes. They seem to be building up the Citadel of Eight as a cosmic force...
