[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 8647493, member: 6780330"] Thank you for a thoughtful and analytical speculation post! do think that this could be possibly for a Setting, but disagree that the "First World" is what that would be, though it would connect as other Settings do. It would be something new. Don't forget Orcs! This would be the perfect place to fully rehabilitate the D&D Orc. Another possibility: the NPC party in Netherdeep included a kindly Ogre, and Ogres have been de-brutified in some Settings like Exandria and Eberron. In addition, the Barbarian Path of the Giant growth feature goes out of it's way to state that it happens if the PC isn't [B]already Large: [/B]now, yhis might be just to nip some corner case combos, but...wouldn't a Fizban's Treasury of Hiants be a perfect place for some straight up Large Race options? This section would largely work the same for either a "GiantLance" or "Fizban's" style book, and is literally the only section which we know anything about... How about Runes, or Elemental Magic? Similar to what we see in this UA? Primordial magic. Yup, and Giantkin, like orcs, pretty well. There are all these Giant connections hinted at in the Monster Manual that haven't been developed...yet. Yeah, but you could see rolling charts and Adventure building material. Titanonomicon. Tie in notnjust Giants, but Giantkin like Ogrea, Trolls, Orcs, provide Adventure material (Wyatt is obsessed with sprinkling his products with new maps, actually, because he says that he isn't good at coming up with them himself and wants to help others in that predicament). Not as rich as Dragona, but maybe able to plum deeper per type as a result. Definitely possible. Dragons are the tip-top of IP identity, but Giants are enough to sustain a similar book. [/QUOTE]
