Morton Kane</p><p>claims that no cleric was available to</p><p>cast Rey's dead only a druid with</p><p>reincarnation which is why Big B is a</p><p>gnome perfect in the rest of the art</p><p>throughout this book and I expect babies</p><p>like a little salty about that he is a</p><p>little salty about that yeah yeah I like</p><p>the through lines in all the books that</p><p>you always have that

him</p><p>encounter Diane castra this giant</p><p>demigod the daughter of Anam</p><p>um who who is known for wandering the</p><p>material playing and interacting with</p><p>Mortals sometimes and he strikes up a</p><p>friendship with this giant demigod and</p><p>sort of grows beyond his Prejudice about</p><p>Giants he his eyes are opened to the</p><p>glory of giants he realizes the

player options We've Got Deep lore</p><p>drives we have story hooks we have</p><p>locations we have monsters so uh player</p><p>options in the book include the path of</p><p>the giant Barbarian</p><p>so I played a known pirate in a One-Shot</p><p>a couple months ago who</p><p>was this mild Banner Little Gnome but</p><p>when the ship got attacked he ran into</p><p>this Barrel by the Mast with a big do</p><p>not touch sign on it that had a great</p><p>accident he pulls out this great ax</p><p>that's like twice his size and then he</p><p>grows to four times his size and swings</p><p>this ax around because he becomes large</p><p>when he rages I I am a fan of always</p><p>taking a very uh tiny creature and</p><p>making it huge like a goblin a gnome a</p><p>half-life yeah yeah the art for that</p><p>shows a halfling ground a giant size</p><p>Beyond just that that one subclass</p><p>there's background options two of them</p><p>that give you Feats that let you tie</p><p>into the flavor of giants in cool and</p><p>exciting ways those are like kind of</p><p>themed as if you've been living amongst</p><p>Giants your entire life the first one is</p><p>the giant foundling background that that</p><p>gives you the strike of the Giants feet</p><p>that that is like yes I grew up among</p><p>giants I grew up around giant stuff I</p><p>might have a salad fork as my Trident</p><p>um so the second one is the Rune Carver</p><p>which means that you've studied ancient</p><p>giant magic the runes that they carve</p><p>into things to wield magic which is a</p><p>theme that gets picked up primarily in</p><p>the bestiary chapter in the book with</p><p>lots of giants that use that magic as</p><p>well yeah I did notice that like a lot</p><p>of the monsters like have different</p><p>types of room craft magic or are</p><p>associated with also different types of</p><p>energies in the planes yeah which is</p><p>really fun but like once we get past the</p><p>player options which are really cool and</p><p>I really like the Barbarian you know</p><p>path of the giant because you get big</p><p>you can move people around the</p><p>battlefield you can throw people even</p><p>against their will and they have to take</p><p>damage you get to be huge yep it's very</p><p>Barbarian</p><p>friendly yes the next chapter is really</p><p>about bringing Giants to life and</p><p>showing how eclectic they are in d d</p><p>because I'm a big fan of giants I never</p><p>thought I would get this much giant lore</p><p>yeah so it starts off talking about sort</p><p>of giving the DM tips for for bringing</p><p>the giant to life at the table helping</p><p>you convey the scale of the encounter</p><p>that you're having to the players</p><p>um everything from stand up on the table</p><p>and stop your feet Make Some Noise to</p><p>things like the giant is holding a</p><p>watermelon and takes a bite out of it as</p><p>if it's an apple right just that kind of</p><p>okay I get a sense of how big this is</p><p>um so then it goes on to talk about</p><p>things like giant Society giant</p><p>organizations giant Gods is a big part</p><p>of it we talk about Anam and all his</p><p>children but then also all the evil or</p><p>subversive forces that try to lure</p><p>Giants away from the worship of Anam and</p><p>his children which include things like a</p><p>couple of demon princes</p><p>um yinugu kashichi Dima Gorgon but also</p><p>forces like Elemental Evil which tie</p><p>into the Giant's Elemental connections</p><p>but but twist those to corrupted ends</p><p>aside from all the Adventure hooks</p><p>there's a lot of great locations that</p><p>themselves feel like Adventure hoax</p><p>whether it's like a like a root of the</p><p>world tree and that's a location tell me</p><p>about the different locations that we</p><p>can find right so there's like</p><p>18 locations I think something like that</p><p>each of them has a full page map and</p><p>then a full page of description we</p><p>included six that are pretty closely</p><p>tied to the six giant kinds in the</p><p>monster manual but they're not just like</p><p>studying of the Hill giant Chief glacial</p><p>Rift to the frost Giant yarl in each</p><p>case we were trying to evoke the the</p><p>glory of giants right there's like a</p><p>star Forge literally from a fallen star</p><p>where where Bigby went and forged his</p><p>beneficent bracelet which uh appears in</p><p>the book as well the kind of place where</p><p>you go to make an artifact there's a</p><p>demi-plane the idea being it was removed</p><p>from the world before the fall of some</p><p>great giant Empire of the past to sort</p><p>of preserve it off in the distance but</p><p>but what's happened to it in the</p><p>meantime then there's a huge section of</p><p>magic items uh these are items that are</p><p>giant themed in various ways there's</p><p>there's actually three artifacts in this</p><p>chapter one is connected to Anam one is</p><p>connected to Diane castra and one is big</p><p>bees beneficence bracelet but then a</p><p>whole bunch of other magic items that</p><p>might be things that giants made for</p><p>their their little humanoid friends yeah</p><p>or things that they made for themselves</p><p>many things that incorporate giant runes</p><p>on them there's like a giant Blunderbuss</p><p>gravitated towards I'm like that's going</p><p>to have some heft yes uh it really is</p><p>much like you know Fizz Ben's treasury</p><p>of dragons they're like what are all</p><p>these giant themed magical items uh</p><p>that's what's really fun yep there's a</p><p>lot there's a lot for players in this</p><p>there is it might not be immediately</p><p>obvious when you look at it Beyond you</p><p>know that first chapter of player</p><p>options but then those Treasures are</p><p>a pretty Saucy draw so we've got like</p><p>all those gray Adventure Hooks and we've</p><p>got a lot of tables are really fun and a</p><p>lot of those those encounter tables are</p><p>referencing brand new monsters that</p><p>we've never seen before</p><p>um that you kind of interact with in</p><p>ways that you've never done before I'm</p><p>surprised by how many monsters are in</p><p>this book there's a lot it is primarily</p><p>a monster book The bestiary chapter is</p><p>like 75 monsters it's the biggest</p><p>chapter of the book yeah can you break</p><p>down some of that because because I</p><p>expected Giants but we're getting</p><p>different types of giants Giants that</p><p>have been affected by the elemental</p><p>planes Giants have been affected by the</p><p>you know the Outer Planes that have made</p><p>deals that you know magic we have hoax</p><p>we have other different creatures that</p><p>we haven't encountered before and it's</p><p>it's so there's so many different</p><p>choices and great narrative hooks</p><p>associated with all of them I'm</p><p>genuinely shocked at how many Giants</p><p>there are in this and how different all</p><p>of them are yeah first off the mine</p><p>flyer Eden is discussed</p><p>[Laughter]</p><p>things like that there's a giant tick</p><p>there's like everything that you could</p><p>possibly kind of want or like whatever</p><p>you know creepy permutation or or like</p><p>have wondrous like the Mist Hulk stuff</p><p>like that is just amazing to me you did</p><p>a pretty good job of hitting on the</p><p>major categories of monsters that are in</p><p>this chapter there's uh</p><p>a couple of new kinds of giants the</p><p>death giant I think is the the big one</p><p>there yeah as well as like fermorians</p><p>that are not corrupted not Fallen yeah</p><p>um but then magic using Giants Giants</p><p>that all have some Rune carved item on</p><p>them that fuels their magical power</p><p>we've got giant cultists so that</p><p>includes things like four Elemental Evil</p><p>Giants but then also Giants that have</p><p>been transformed into fiends by their</p><p>contact with a Demon Lord or an archdel</p><p>the elemental hulks are sort of a a</p><p>withered branch of the giant family tree</p><p>these are giants that have strayed so</p><p>far from their their personhood they're</p><p>they're really just monsters at this</p><p>point they're Elementals they're not</p><p>Giants anymore and they're weaker and</p><p>smaller than um Giants but they're</p><p>they're good monsters to just fight when</p><p>you need a</p><p>this is oh we're exploring this ancient</p><p>giant ruin it's not inhabited by Giants</p><p>anymore it's inhabited by these things</p><p>we've got a lot of Beast type creatures</p><p>including dinosaurs and the</p><p>aforementioned ticks and oxen and the</p><p>grinning cat is a nod to this there is a</p><p>giant goose that lays golden eggs I'm</p><p>very fond of that goose that's another</p><p>one of my weird little things I put in</p><p>this book is that the table for what</p><p>happens when you open the golden egg</p><p>what did you enjoy the most about like</p><p>creating this book because it's</p><p>something I keep on hammering home this</p><p>really does feel like the companion book</p><p>two Fizz bands we're getting that much</p><p>lower that may match clams we're getting</p><p>so many more monsters True Confession</p><p>time yeah I was nervous when I started</p><p>off working on this book because dragons</p><p>felt natural and exciting for me it was</p><p>like yes I can

[QUOTE="darjr, post: 9066458, member: 52905"] There are details about Bigby's death and why he's a Gnome. [CENTER][MEDIA=youtube]z13v9j2YcRk[/MEDIA][/CENTER] James Wyatt and Todd Kenreck discuss "Glory of the Giants". Bigby's history and relationship with other characters are mentioned and his encounters with Giants. Player option Path of the Giant Barbarian and Giant-themed backgrounds are covered. They delve into Giant lore, giant society, organizations, and gods associated with Giants. Their are adventure hooks, locations, and monsters related to Giants, including Giants affected by elemental planes and other planes. The bestiary chapter contains around 75 monsters, along with giant-themed magic items and artifacts. James aimed to re-mystify Giants and highlight their power, magic, and ancient glory. The book serves as a toolbox for Dungeon Masters and players, providing resources for character options, encounters, adventures, and campaigns centered around Giants. Transcript is in the spoiler tag. [spoiler] so let's just jump in I'm very excited about this particular book because Giants what is the name of the book and what do we find in it Bigby presents glory of the Giants is the name of the book and in it we find both glory and Giants with a healthy dose of Big B perfect for those that don't know who is Bigby Bigby is a famous wizard from the world of greyhawk who's best known for his big B's hand spell he was a friend of Morden Kanan and Morton kainan depending on how you want to see it yeah they actually have sort of a weird troubled history where where Bigby was a henchman to Morgan Kanan and the relationship was not always amicable but they grew to be friends and and peers equals in The Wizarding World We Have A Narrative of Bigby stretching through the it's really primarily told in the chapter start illustrations for the six chapters of this book and the first one we see Big B killed biofrost Giants Boulder smushed under the bowl that's right yeah the artwork for that is fantastic well Morgan Cannon looks unhorified and the the sort of narrative that accompanies that explains that after that fateful incident uh Morton Kane claims that no cleric was available to cast Rey's dead only a druid with reincarnation which is why Big B is a gnome perfect in the rest of the art throughout this book and I expect babies like a little salty about that he is a little salty about that yeah yeah I like the through lines in all the books that you always have that commentary I always find that to be really fun this book in particular Bigby's journey I mean it starts with that very unfortunate beginning and in the next one we see him encounter Diane castra this giant demigod the daughter of Anam um who who is known for wandering the material playing and interacting with Mortals sometimes and he strikes up a friendship with this giant demigod and sort of grows beyond his Prejudice about Giants he his eyes are opened to the glory of giants he realizes the Majesty of their civilization and the glory that they have lost what in particular are you excited about in this book because with there's a lot in the book we have like player options We've Got Deep lore drives we have story hooks we have locations we have monsters so uh player options in the book include the path of the giant Barbarian so I played a known pirate in a One-Shot a couple months ago who was this mild Banner Little Gnome but when the ship got attacked he ran into this Barrel by the Mast with a big do not touch sign on it that had a great accident he pulls out this great ax that's like twice his size and then he grows to four times his size and swings this ax around because he becomes large when he rages I I am a fan of always taking a very uh tiny creature and making it huge like a goblin a gnome a half-life yeah yeah the art for that shows a halfling ground a giant size Beyond just that that one subclass there's background options two of them that give you Feats that let you tie into the flavor of giants in cool and exciting ways those are like kind of themed as if you've been living amongst Giants your entire life the first one is the giant foundling background that that gives you the strike of the Giants feet that that is like yes I grew up among giants I grew up around giant stuff I might have a salad fork as my Trident um so the second one is the Rune Carver which means that you've studied ancient giant magic the runes that they carve into things to wield magic which is a theme that gets picked up primarily in the bestiary chapter in the book with lots of giants that use that magic as well yeah I did notice that like a lot of the monsters like have different types of room craft magic or are associated with also different types of energies in the planes yeah which is really fun but like once we get past the player options which are really cool and I really like the Barbarian you know path of the giant because you get big you can move people around the battlefield you can throw people even against their will and they have to take damage you get to be huge yep it's very Barbarian friendly yes the next chapter is really about bringing Giants to life and showing how eclectic they are in d d because I'm a big fan of giants I never thought I would get this much giant lore yeah so it starts off talking about sort of giving the DM tips for for bringing the giant to life at the table helping you convey the scale of the encounter that you're having to the players um everything from stand up on the table and stop your feet Make Some Noise to things like the giant is holding a watermelon and takes a bite out of it as if it's an apple right just that kind of okay I get a sense of how big this is um so then it goes on to talk about things like giant Society giant organizations giant Gods is a big part of it we talk about Anam and all his children but then also all the evil or subversive forces that try to lure Giants away from the worship of Anam and his children which include things like a couple of demon princes um yinugu kashichi Dima Gorgon but also forces like Elemental Evil which tie into the Giant's Elemental connections but but twist those to corrupted ends aside from all the Adventure hooks there's a lot of great locations that themselves feel like Adventure hoax whether it's like a like a root of the world tree and that's a location tell me about the different locations that we can find right so there's like 18 locations I think something like that each of them has a full page map and then a full page of description we included six that are pretty closely tied to the six giant kinds in the monster manual but they're not just like studying of the Hill giant Chief glacial Rift to the frost Giant yarl in each case we were trying to evoke the the glory of giants right there's like a star Forge literally from a fallen star where where Bigby went and forged his beneficent bracelet which uh appears in the book as well the kind of place where you go to make an artifact there's a demi-plane the idea being it was removed from the world before the fall of some great giant Empire of the past to sort of preserve it off in the distance but but what's happened to it in the meantime then there's a huge section of magic items uh these are items that are giant themed in various ways there's there's actually three artifacts in this chapter one is connected to Anam one is connected to Diane castra and one is big bees beneficence bracelet but then a whole bunch of other magic items that might be things that giants made for their their little humanoid friends yeah or things that they made for themselves many things that incorporate giant runes on them there's like a giant Blunderbuss gravitated towards I'm like that's going to have some heft yes uh it really is much like you know Fizz Ben's treasury of dragons they're like what are all these giant themed magical items uh that's what's really fun yep there's a lot there's a lot for players in this there is it might not be immediately obvious when you look at it Beyond you know that first chapter of player options but then those Treasures are a pretty Saucy draw so we've got like all those gray Adventure Hooks and we've got a lot of tables are really fun and a lot of those those encounter tables are referencing brand new monsters that we've never seen before um that you kind of interact with in ways that you've never done before I'm surprised by how many monsters are in this book there's a lot it is primarily a monster book The bestiary chapter is like 75 monsters it's the biggest chapter of the book yeah can you break down some of that because because I expected Giants but we're getting different types of giants Giants that have been affected by the elemental planes Giants have been affected by the you know the Outer Planes that have made deals that you know magic we have hoax we have other different creatures that we haven't encountered before and it's it's so there's so many different choices and great narrative hooks associated with all of them I'm genuinely shocked at how many Giants there are in this and how different all of them are yeah first off the mine flyer Eden is discussed [Laughter] things like that there's a giant tick there's like everything that you could possibly kind of want or like whatever you know creepy permutation or or like have wondrous like the Mist Hulk stuff like that is just amazing to me you did a pretty good job of hitting on the major categories of monsters that are in this chapter there's uh a couple of new kinds of giants the death giant I think is the the big one there yeah as well as like fermorians that are not corrupted not Fallen yeah um but then magic using Giants Giants that all have some Rune carved item on them that fuels their magical power we've got giant cultists so that includes things like four Elemental Evil Giants but then also Giants that have been transformed into fiends by their contact with a Demon Lord or an archdel the elemental hulks are sort of a a withered branch of the giant family tree these are giants that have strayed so far from their their personhood they're they're really just monsters at this point they're Elementals they're not Giants anymore and they're weaker and smaller than um Giants but they're they're good monsters to just fight when you need a this is oh we're exploring this ancient giant ruin it's not inhabited by Giants anymore it's inhabited by these things we've got a lot of Beast type creatures including dinosaurs and the aforementioned ticks and oxen and the grinning cat is a nod to this there is a giant goose that lays golden eggs I'm very fond of that goose that's another one of my weird little things I put in this book is that the table for what happens when you open the golden egg what did you enjoy the most about like creating this book because it's something I keep on hammering home this really does feel like the companion book two Fizz bands we're getting that much lower that may match clams we're getting so many more monsters True Confession time yeah I was nervous when I started off working on this book because dragons felt natural and exciting for me it was like yes I can totally write a book about dragons and make it awesome Giants was like a harder cell but actually something that you said when we were talking about Fizz bands helped crystallize it in my brain you talked about re-mystifying dragons and so from the outset my mission statement for this book was re-mystifying Giants in the same way and emphasizing that they're not they are big people but they're not just big people they're powerful and magical and ancient and glorious um and really digging into that and singing my teeth into that made me appreciate Giants in D in a way I never have before it's kind of like the giant lore book I always kind of wanted like I would read this even if I didn't play D D and look through the monsters because there are so many and again there's also unique that and the art is so metal I have no other way to explain this the art

fire giant you are you look like serger from like Thor Ragnarok I guess it's so intense why should dungeon Masters and even players pick up this book what do they get what anybody who picks up this book is gonna find is a great big toolbox so whether you are looking for tools you can add to your character to give them some connection to Giants some flavoring of Giants or you're looking for tools to add to a single encounter a whole Adventure an entire campaign built around Giants this book is chock full of resources you can use to do that English (auto-generated)[/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
