    A Stone Giant reads The *_Art_* Of War and suddenly we have a legion of giant warmongers.

    I really like the idea of a stone giant cult leader. Man, in general I like to change up the canon lore a bit in my settings, but the stone giant lore overall, even for normal giants that aren’t dreamwalkers, is really cool and I feel like it really subverts the general idea of what giants are like. I’m definitely implementing the stone giant stuff in my game.

    I have liked and commented! I continue to serve the stoned dungeoncast!
    Your loyal paladin bares good tidings milords, my expedition into the underdark went very well! I found a city of kuo-toa. Mad little things they were, but I managed to infiltrate their city and topple their authoritarian soceity!
    Many of them die not even try to take vengeance against me, though some unfortently were to far gone. The ones that hadn't yet fallen prey to madness I brought to a place in the underdark closer to the surface. While they may not be able to live in our glorious land of sunlight, they are close enough by that an eye can be kept on them, especially now that I have converted them to ways of knowledge and laughter! Not only shall you gain more power from your new worshippers, but these kua-toa broken free of their former homes bonds, can now begin to lead more righteous lives!
    As for these stone giants...I do not like them. While they are of course preferably to the uncaring fire giants, or the warmongering frost giants, I would still hope none live anywhere near the lands of knowledge and laughter.
    I recognise that different cultures will of course have different values, but I frankly find their view of the surface to be a dream moronic. No matter how different values are I cannot abide by them committing any wrong doings simply because they refuse to accept the surface is real!
    Their skills with stonework are respectable, but I deplore them for their views.
    For now though all is right in these lands, I await more knowledge and laughter, till next week milords!
    Thanks for another weekly fix boys, getting stoned with the stone big guys is almost as fun as getting high with a melding myconoid.
    Not much else to say, but before I go I just wanted to say I hope you two are doing all right with the lockdowns and what not going on.
    Oh and even though SQS is on hiatus and I'm not sure if they'll end up seeing this or not, I also hope Josh and special guest Jake are doing alright.
    The four of you stay safe ya hear? The gods of knowledge and laughter won't fall to this virus! And whatever josh and special guest jake are won't either, I'm still not sure wether they would be lesser deities, or saints, or something else in my head canon where the two of you are greater deities. Well whatever they are they still kick ass.
    Anyway jokes aside, stay safe and see you next week dudes. :)

      Oh also, had a dumb idea for a stone giant npc.
      Imagine a stone giant who throws stones in the nude like some Olympian discus thrower.

    • @dorianrobinette9712
      @dorianrobinette9712 4 роки тому

      Dusty Sledge where, I don't see the word disgust anywhere in my comment? The only mistake I see is the word did auto corrected to die early on in my comment.

    • @dorianrobinette9712
      @dorianrobinette9712 4 роки тому

      Dusty Sledge it's ok, you just had me rereading comment and had me thinking I was going crazy or something. lol.

    • @dorianrobinette9712
      @dorianrobinette9712 4 роки тому

      Dusty Sledge ooooh. I thought you meant something in my original comment.
      No that was spelt how I meant to spell it, although for all I know I could have spelt it wrong. I was referencing an ancient sport. I don't remember much, but i saw it depicted and talked about in cartoons growing up. There was apparently this sport where athletes would throw a disc called a discus, and ancient Olympian athletes competed nude in their sports. So i combined that with the stone giants love of hurling boulders.

    Am I the only one who has the image of two bugbears throwing a stone giant through the air while said stone giant just keeps carving a rock, completely unbothered? Like "This is all just part of the dream... just part of the dream. Forget this dream, I gotta carve this rock!"

      Picture a giant pulling a chromatic to the ground, as it begins to fly off.
      On a serious note, though: dragons invaded their world.
      On the other hand, there's got to be some (likely metallic) dragons that understand this mentality and agree with the (good) giants. I could see some giants and dragons being amicable to one another, and fairly diplomatic/polite/respectful.
