Part One (Spirits Guide) here:


Part Two (Keepers Guide) here:
If you're trying to channel a Volo-like narrator, it's not working.
I'm really hoping there's a pronunciation guide here... Almost every monster is named like this.

OK, I have some time, so I'm going to start thread number two of #Giantlands, the "Keeper's Guide".

First thread on the "Spirit's Guide" is here:
James Ward did the foreword on the first book, but Ernie gets his chance here... which means we get a shameless plug and the physical address of the DHSM in the last paragraph.
So they provide an example of a combat encounter... It's worth noting that not only is initiative based on current health, but it apparently changes each round. As you take damage, you move down in the turn order.

OK, so here goes nothing... gonna do a full exploration of #Giantlands. God help me.

This might be a long thread. [1/∞]
First off, some general comments...

I try not to criticize a product's price point usually, but $130 for this is honestly absurd.

Compare it to Invisible Sun, which has literally ten times the stuff in the box for $30 LESS.
The entirety of Giantlands is about as big as one, maybe two, of the IS manuals. And it has nowhere near the same production values.

Granted, Wonderfilled and MCG are miles apart in terms of RPG experience, capability, and production volume, but still.
