[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8646774, member: 7023887"] Are you sure? Because 5e Giants have never had a "Primordial" connection, and, looking through the Forgotten Realm's Wiki for Giants from previous editions of D&D, there's really not that much. Especially when you take into account how much they would have to reprint in order to get the book to be big enough (the Ogre, Troll, and True Giant variants from Monsters of the Multiverse, probably some stuff from Storm King's Thunder, Verbeeg and Ice Troll from Rime of the Frostmaiden, the lore from Volo's, etc). Like, seriously, what are they going to put in the book? Fizban's had a bunch of obvious stuff that they could put in it, like Gem Dragons, Great Wyrms, Bahamut/Tiamat, and ages for the different Dragon Turtles. Giants don't have different stat blocks for their age categories or major parts of them that have been left out from this edition so far. We already have the lore for the Ordning, the Giant Gods, functioning stats for Giantkin races (Goliaths, Firbolg), and quite a few Giant stat blocks. Unless they're bringing back all of 4e's Giant lore and making Elemental Titanic versions of the standard giants . . . I really don't see how they would do a Fizban's-style Giant-focused Monster Book. But they also said that it serves as a meta-explanation for why so many creatures are shared between the Multiverse of D&D. There's clearly more going on to the story than "oh, actually, all of that is fake". . . . I'm looking at my copy right now. There really aren't. There are some Runic Magic Items, but not "several pages of Rune Magic". And people don't generally consider Magic Items to be "player options" (that's why they're in the DMG and not the PHB). Are they? I cannot find anything in all of 5e's sections on Dinosaurs that connects them to Primordials. Heck, I've never even seen "Primordials" be mentioned in any D&D product as a monster type. It's sometimes used as descriptor text like "Primeval", but never as a keyword, like "Titan" is. We'll see. Maybe Spelljammer will talk more about the First World, because, presumably, the First World's destruction is what created all of the planets that you can visit through the Spelljammer setting.
