D&D 5E Everything You Need to Know about Bigby Presents Glory of the Giants

From my perspective, it also looks like one book was just sort of "meh, I guess we have to do one of these" versus "ooh, you know what would be really cool to do?"

Lots of subjects have been covered many times, in many mediums, but someone fired up about a project can still do something great with it. How many comic books has Batman been in, for instance? And yet, every year, there's at least one truly great new Batman story.

Yeah, giants have been covered a lot less, but dragons are freaking Batman. It's always possible to do something awesome with Batman.

You know, it's funny, Wyatt said in his interview with Todd Kendrick just the opposite: he was jazzed and excited to write Fizban's, but had to be sold on this and find an angle.

I had no interest in BPGotG, but the two recent videos have turned that around a bit. It's not "insta-buy" yet, but it has my interest…

I guess the answer is to keep Wyatt out of his comfort zone, then.

Hey, WotC, how about assigning Wyatt to a big book about gnomes vs. kobolds next?

Saw this art from the D&D Instagram, including a new Fire Giant lady and a confirmation of a Mountain Giant with Rune magic.

Huh! We hadn't seen mountain giants being mentioned before, as far as I'm aware. That's a really pleasant surprise!

Yeah, they had mentioned previously that there would be Magix wielding variants of the six main Giant types, and that photo was used when Wyatt mentioned that in one of these videos, but confirmation that this is a Mountain Giant that looks like a souped up Hill Giant is neat.

What's the little purple dude in the giant's bag?

What's the little purple dude in the giant's bag?

That looks like a Gem Dragonborn for scale, from Fizban's.

That would make a lot of sense, thank you!

This feels a bit... too late? for me? I played SKT's over a year ago, the book feels less "needed" now.
