(Okay, I’m still working my way through the last UA packet, whatever.) As you undoubtedly know, this book is intended to do for giants what Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons did for the scaly bois.

It’s not particularly clear what titles any of it might go with – there’s some Giant-related material salient to that previous Giant UA, but there’s also some cosmic stuff with some Planescape vibes that might be part of Spelljammer instead? Life is full of mysteries, and I’m not solving this one today, so let’s dive in. The byline for this UA goes to Makenzie […]

We get three subclasses and ten feats in this document; it’s not clear what exact book this will be for, but it’s got giants on its mind one way or another.

We’ve previously looked at using giants beyond their stat block, so today we’ll look at potential monsters to use either for a single session or as a campaign long villain that can throw multiple challenges and hurdles at your party.  Giants are a fantasy staple and can be the driving force behind a really exciting campaign! They have a ton of options for campaigns taking place in the first three […]

People are looking to start fresh, kick old habits, and carve out a new story for themselves in the new year. However, the focus of the event is usually finding a good party to drink in the new year, and ensuring you have someone to intimately face-battle at the stroke of midnight.

No, I’m not training them to the zone entrance where an AFK ogre is blocking the entrance. In a previous article about the kenku, some comments suggested creatures I should cover in the future. One of those suggestions was giants, as topical a choice as any, due to the recent release of Storm King’s Thunder. Full disclosure, I have not read through the supplement, so […]
