D&D: Storm King’s Thunder CONFIRMED

Wizards of the Coast’s D&D livestream is going on.  Here’s what we’ve seen so far:

First off we have this – which settles the Mystery of the new storyline:

Storm King’s Thunder

Chris Perkins Says: 

• Giants!
• Set in the Forgotten Realms.
• Giant God breaks the “Ordening” breaking the social-racial structure of giantkind – unleashing the Giants upon the world.
• Characters play “small folk” (non-giants).
• Each faction of Giants sets out with their own agenda for power.
• There is a Giants vs Dragons sub-theme.
• Players can fight with, against, and even become giants themselves.

Chris Mearls Says:

• “Rune Magic” will allow players to go toe to toe with Giants
• Storm King’s Thunder ships wide release September 6th, and in late August at gaming stores.
•  Volo’s Guide to Monsters Coming later this year.
• Volo’s Guide contains 100+ new monsters, background on classic monsters.
