The Attack of the Giants
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Ages ago, giants and dragons waged war across the Savage Frontier. These battles are long forgotten by the human civilizations of today, but ancient relics remain. And now, the land shudders once more with the thunder of giant footsteps. Hill giants raid farms for food and livestock, as stone giants lay waste to settlements in their path. Frost giants plunder coastal towns, as fire giants gather slaves. Cloud giant castles drift across the sky, casting ominous shadows on the cities of the North. But no threat compares to the wrath of the storm giants, who stand betrayed. The brave adventurers must rise to the challenge, gather their strength, unlock the power of ancient runes, and take the fight to the giants' doorsteps. Only then can they discover a hidden evil fomenting a war between giants and small folk. Only then can they forge an alliance to end the war before it begins.

Bo does such a wonderfully patient job of explaining every little thing I needed help with and asked about! Thank you for your time, Bo!

Bo is an absolute weapon of a GM, always down for whatever as long as it’s within some sort of sense XD. On a serious note though seriously one of the best GM’s I’ve played under so far and always down for the rule of cool. He tries to accomodate everyone as best as possible and has a very vast and extensive knowledge of the game we all love. Make sure to check him out 100%!

Bo had been my DM for about 6 months now, I can vouch for the professionalism and punctuation. I love how he immerses your back story into the story, the way he preps every game not only for battle but intrigue as well. As a player who has a lot of love for the game an community that comes with it I strongly urge you to give him a shot. P.S We've never missed a single game...

DM Bo has been fantastic. Playing play-by-post, the game has been easy to follow and keep up with. Extra effort such as the excellent use of maps makes it easy to return the game and understand the situation during combat. The organization of his Discord, including a channel dedicated to each character where Bo is always willing to interact with the players, resolve the outcome of dice rolls, etc., has been great. I also enjoy rolling right off of my DnD Beyond character sheet, keeping things very simple in that area. Unlike other DM's I've had where they are just going through the motions of a module as a day job, Bo has put a lot of effort into extra role play with the PC's to help realize each player character idea, backstory, personality, etc. and keep the game unique and fun. I look forward to rolling up my second character with Bo and sticking around in his games for a long time. Thanks DM!
