Tidal effects around a gas giant would be massive, though smaller satellites might escape this. Of course, smaller satellites might also  have a low gravity --- unless something funky was going on to increase their density, such as having an abnormally high mass or the presence of festering gobs of magic at the planetary core.  I am reminded here of Skoraeus Stonebones, god of the stone giants, living at the core of the world...However, the biggest concerns are going to be (a) how much light/heat you're getting with that big planet blocking the view, (b) how much light/heat you're getting if you're too far out in the planetary system, and (c) how to survive if you're around a gas giant, as you will probably be stuck in a radiation belt. Again, solved by the usual agents of technology or magic. Of course, radiation exposure might account for the Aberration subtype, and majestic flumphs might float gracefully in that gas giant in the sky...  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
