Two Giant-Themed Modules Coming Soon!


DDS5 VALLEY OF THE STONE GIANT CLANS and DDS6 SKY-KEEP OF THE CLOUD GIANT LORD—a pair of adventures that pit you against the terrible might of giantkind—are coming this summer to Kickstarter.


Giants—iconic oversized monsters from folklore and mythology—are among the most beloved fantasy RPG monsters. Battling giants is a highlight of any D&D adventure. Both DDS5 Valley of the Stone Giant Clans and DDS6 Sky-Keep of the Cloud Giant Lord aim to deliver exactly that on a massive scale. Like the classic Against the Giants series, each of these modules is packed with giants for the party to battle. Nearly 100 stone giants inhabit the cavernous valley, while adventurers must tangle with over 50 cloud giants in their aerial stronghold. Once the action starts, it never lets up.


Both modules are written using the First Edition game rules.

Each giant-themed module poses a formidable challenge even for the hardiest mid- to high-level characters.

VALLEY OF THE STONE GIANT CLANS

A module for 6–9 characters of levels 8–12.

 

For generations, the stone giant clans dwelt in the hidden valley of Flóndisheim, keeping largely to themselves while venturing forth only for occasional raids and limited trade. But as the surrounding realms of dwarves and humans expanded, the giants found themselves increasingly hemmed in. Fearing the loss of their lands, Sköll Foehammer of the Cave Bear Clan united the five major clans beneath his rule and led them into war against their dwarf and human neighbors.

 

In recent years, the giants have launched a ruthless campaign against the dwarven realms—shattering caravan routes, overrunning mountain holds, and seizing the high passes. Trade has collapsed, and entire clans have been driven from their ancient homes. Now the dwarven rulers secretly seek bold adventurers willing to ascend the perilous peaks and strike at the giants’ power at its source.

 

In VALLEY OF THE STONE GIANT CLANS, the player characters must contend with the combined strength of five allied stone giant clans and their monstrous servitors. To break the giants’ hold over the mountain passes, the party must ascend into the hidden valley of Flóndisheim—a high, bowl-shaped stronghold ringed by sheer cliffs and riddled with cavern entrances.

 

Within this perilous valley, watchposts guard the narrow approach, and roving creatures and war bands stand ready to repel intruders. The adventurers must strike at the scattered cave systems while avoiding being overwhelmed, for the longer they linger, the more the giants rally their strength. To end the threat, the party must descend into the depths to confront the chieftains in their own domains. With luck and persistence, they may uncover the fabled Gem-Garden, hidden deep within the lightless underworld.

SKY-KEEP OF THE CLOUD GIANT LORD

Cover of “Dungeon Delve Fantasy Game Adventure: Sky-Keep of the Cloud Giant Lord,” showing a blue-skinned cloud giant in a white tunic swinging a huge club as adventurers battle giants inside a stone hall.

A module for 6–8 characters of levels 10–14.

 

Storm clouds of destruction gather over the realm!

 

For more than a year, ruthless cloud giants have descended without warning—shattering towns, carrying off captives, and crushing all resistance beneath hurled boulders and lightning. No wall can bar them. No army can reach them. From their drifting fortress high above the world, they strike at will, then vanish into the clouds.

 

At last, their lord demands tribute in food and treasure. With their lands ravaged and coffers drained, the rulers comply… for now. In secret, they turn to a final gamble: a small band of powerful adventurers must ascend into the heavens, find the hidden Sky-Keep, and end the giants’ dominion.

 

SKY-KEEP OF THE CLOUD GIANT LORD is a high-level, giant-themed adventure for 6–8 characters at levels 10–14. The party must infiltrate a vast cloud-borne castle, face scores of giants and their monstrous servitors, and survive a fortress built to withstand even aerial assault. Winged horrors circle its towers, storm magic answers its master’s will, and a single misstep may prove fatal. This fully detailed stronghold contains deadly encounters, strange allies, and the plundered wealth of a ravaged kingdom. To prevail, the adventurers must overcome the cloud giants' might—and confront their dread lord in his lofty domain.


Cover Art: Del Teigeler’s cover art shows cloud giant lords battling adventurers in their storied halls.



A small armored knight with a red cape faces two enormous giants in a bright mountain pass. One blue-skinned cloud giant advances with a massive club, while a gray stone giant raises a huge boulder overhead. A castle floats among clouds in the background, with snowy peaks and waterfalls behind the giants.
