Do you prefer you giants as vaguely humanoid monsters or just really big people?

Do you prefer you giants as vaguely humanoid monsters or just really big people?

I personally prefer the latter because it's an interesting concept of someone being huge and having a connection to the common folk but can never truly be among them for obvious reasons

Monstrous and weird, and ideally with some dark supernatural secret. The ones from the Death Gate cycle in the fire world were great.

neither

I think the Vaguely Humanoid Monsters is the better option. Instead of just being attracted to them because they're hot or something, both sides have to work towards their friendships.

Explain those to me.

Then what do you prefer user?

Vaguely humanoid or humanoid enough to alllllmost be human but slightly off. Scaled up people just strike me as lazy and wonky.

Similar to how gnomes/halflings/dwarves can look pretty close to human, but should probably not be literal humans but smaller.

Zentradi are best giants.

Aw yeeeeeah

Humanoid. They are supposed to be a separate race from humans so it makes sense.

>I personally prefer the latter because it's my fetish
FTFY

So how would you properly implement Giants in a modern setting?

...

I kind of like giants as more or less non-threatening creatures who live in the wilderness. I don't know why, but I love the idea of a giant sitting on a rock, absentmindedly chewing on a whole cow and greeting a human traveler with a friendly wave before going about his usual business.

Also, explain how Mt. Lady is lewder than Midnight, the R-rated hero.

its probably the possibility of vore.

That's an interesting question. Obviously, they would never be without job options since you always need a living crane capable of human precision, but the invention of modern artillery would probably kick whatever warrior cultures they had in the balls as hard as the machine gun defanged the Mongolians.

Do I really have to be That Guy?
Could someone tell me the name of that giantess?

She's one of the adult background heroes from Boku no Hero Academia.I think her hero name was Mountain Lady or something like that?

Mount Lady.

It depends. In my current setting they're just really big people, but back in time I used giants as a sort of elementals that awoke from time to time to ravage the land ala Tarrasque and then went to sleep again for some millennia.

I kinda like the first the most; I think they fit better in the traditional representation of giants.

Best giants are maybe 2ft taller than humans and are called 'giants' simply relative to the average population.

I'm more into being the giant. Or tiny women.

Oh wait, am I not on /d/ right now?

Do you think roads would be wider in cities to accommodate them? I almost always see some construction going on in big cities.

Would they have to live outside of the cities, or do you think there'd be a few apartments or houses for them.

As long as you don't start posting NSFW images AND talk about how that would impact society, you should be fine.

I like my giants as really big people that are nonetheless quite different looking. Aquatic giants with blue skin and gills, mountain giants with craggy skin and rock formations growing out of them, stuff like that. I also enjoy having a few scattered giants that are blatantly inhuman to contrast with the mostly humanoid majority.

Anything other than vaguely humanoid monsters is magical realm and you can't convince me otherwise.

Large rectangular spaces in roads for them to step in. Small folk crossing them is official against the law but happens a lot like j-walking.

Given this, what would a human with changes made to support a 60 ft person look like?

I'd mount that lady

Seeing as one of the Teachers at UA is dressed up in BDSM gear, I'm sure the pun is intentional.

Oh she'll make it big alright

I could also see bright colors, or at least reflective stuff, being in use for fashion. It's important to let them be able to see where you are.

The choices are given in the report.

1. A giant Dwarf
A wide body but extra thick ñegs ti keep gravity from breaking them

2. A supersized 'Supermodel'
Like the giraffe, someone very thin to cheat the square cube law

Human, but not humanoid

She's dressed in BDSM gear and (if I recall correctly) her power is to control people's actions via pheromones.
And before you ask: Yes, it works better on males.

I imagine giants would use artillery a lot more than other races because their size would let them handle the equipment more easily.

>Your usual fantasy giants that are brutish, outsized humans scattered sparsely through the wilderness and that clash with the civilized small-folk by running off with livestock and extracting tolls from and eating travellers through the mountains/woods/whatever is magical realm

You're retarded.

How is pic related magical realm

This is literally classic fantasy giants throwing boulders at classic fantasy dwarves

If you can masturbate to this, it's because you're fucked, don't blame it on the giants.

FFS pic related, forgot it because I'm phoneposting like a tremendous (giant sized you could say) faggot

You can just say it's about your dick user.
Anyway the storyteller in me likes giants as huge slightly off looking humanoids.
My dick likes them as huge sexy ladies and lolis.

It is my fetish, but I genuinely think it's an interesting idea

Giants can be interesting. Honestly there is room for both, but even the monstrous variety should appear like a big yet nevertheless corrupted or primitive being - about the difference between modern humans and proto-humans. My reasoning is because giant, just as the name "giant", conveys the idea of something big. The cultural/folklore default is big humans. If they were big lizards, or even big lizardmen, that would be...off? I mean if someone said you were being attacked by giants in a fantasy setting you wouldn't imagine them as hamsters, right?

Come to think of it somebody probably would. With top hats and monocles.

Anyway I like them to run the gamut between big people where they aren't just big but everything about them is magnified: power, prestige, knowledge, magic, EGO. Imagine, say, Greeks carving giant statues of their gods. Now imagine those statues brought to life. That's the kind of giants I'm talking about, something beyond normal human ability and perhaps even ken. Humans are as insects to them and either are squashed, toyed with, or must work for a boon.

The primitives are degenerates, throwbacks, what happens when the refined giants have lost everything. Oftentimes the refined version is the ancient version and the modern one is the primitive, all that is left after the refined giant societies collapsed. Probably started to think they really were gods and had done to them what usually happens when someone claims they are superior or on par with the gods. Sometimes it's the little people they look down on who manage to bring them low, a la Gulliver and the Lilliputians.

That's how I personally prefer my giants.

Giant space hamsters are a thing in DnD...

I like the way you mention it, it feels like it would fit in stories where nostalgia plays a huge part. Something Fallout-esque where people travel back to their roots to find something important, and everything is bigger and grander, culminating in meeting some giant King on a massive throne.

This is what akin to what I like, too.

This is a blue board.

This is a blue board.

And neither of those pictures is against the rules of what can be posted here, prude.

Nobody said they weren't, but I would imagine few DMs that aren't being cheeky assholes would say, "You're fighting giants!" and leave out the hamster bit. You could more or less take or leave the space bit and it wouldn't really change as much.

I'm sure that's just someone lewdly bumping the thread. It's his fetish and it drives him wild, almost as wild as the free (you)s it earns him.

There IS something strangely appealing about the idea people in a fantasy setting discover they are descended from giants. Not sure why, but I suppose it's from vague idea that life on Earth used to be big. Dinosaurs as the Time of Giants sort of thing.

That isn't, strictly speaking, true in any real sense as it implies everything was just bigger. There were small dinosaurs as well as big ones, and mammals too, and big and small fish and bugs and so on. Okay, okay, the thicker atmosphere with higher oxygen content made it easier for supesized critters to function.

Minsc would have Boo claim your eyes for such blasphemy!

Also, a prude is someone who forces their own sexual morality on others. When you intrude on a blue board with nsfw content you are in fact the prude.

His own horrible fetish aside, I find myself strangely amused at the idea of giants starting out as normal sized babies (I don't even want to think of the logistical issues of how that works for the mommies) just for the whole changeling scenario. The confounded peasant parents finally started to catch on that something was off when they had to switch from the cobbler to the boat maker for shoes.

No clue what they do with the human babies. Really tiny butlers and maids because they think it's hilarious making tiny humans clean their (possibly literal) shit? Living chess sets?

>being this much of a faggot prude on Veeky Forums blue boards.

I wish I had a giant smug anime girl for this occasion.

>Not wanting to daughterfu a twelve foot tall pre-pubescent engine of destruction.
There isn't any porn though bud.
Slightly risqué anime girl pictures are par for the course on just about every blue board.

Maybe it's like a recessive gene and the baby hasn't really gone anywhere.

This. Biblical giants are the best

Gigantism doesn't fuck around in that fantasy setting!

Sounds more like ogres. Or orogs?

Loli/shota is prohibited outside of /b/

I'd imagine they'd go build big cities in the places normally too harsh for normal humans. Act kinda like wild prospectors and red necks. Carry a shotgun that fires shells the size of a cow. Normal things.

Somewhere in the middle. Humanoid, but clearly not just big humans. Intelligent, but anywhere from dumb brutes to deific intellectuals to clever yet inhuman thought processes. For size I like stuff from a few feet taller than humans for trolls and ogres, to around thirty feet tall for cyclopes and other demigod types. Jotuns, titans and other cosmic beings might dwarf entire mountains.

Beanstalks, dude. Up to Cloud City to hang with Lando. It's the best real estate on the market!

That one dude freaking out aside I have to admit her weird parade float hand is creeping me out.

That's sounds fair for most settings

Fetishes aside I prefer humanoid giants with inhuman minds, to make them seem familiar and alien at the same time.

I dislike a whole race of intelligent giant people from a world building perspective because it raises all sorts of questions about logistics that lack anything compelling enough for me to work on resolving.
Aesthetically, I like just slightly oddly proportioned people.

>Questioning the logistics of a fantasy setting

Yeah. We do that all the time.

Are you new to Veeky Forums?

There's wanting to know how something works, then there's just being petty

Oh you're a furry, too? Great.

What?

>mfw people still have my recolors.

Lolicon/Shotacon

I prefer them to be just really big people, because I think seeing people of different sizes interact and work around their differences is neat. It's also my fetish.

I like to keep things interesting, though, so if I was going to make a setting with giants I'd have big ones (40-200ft) who are the direct descendants of the gods themselves, and are extremely rare to come across. And then a more mundane race of smaller giants (8-12ft) who build civilizations and live pretty much like the other humanoid races, instead of being walking embodiements of divine power.

No loli porn outside /b/.
/a/ isn't the most rule-abiding board on the site, but they have several non-porn loli threads up at all times.

I understand. Something like this would work a bit better.

Otherwise, if there are too many giants, that you might as well reverse the Earth. Make giant sized forests and plains and having to deal with it as 'tiny' people.

Really big and attractive people

Just cause you're so repressed that the idea of anything female gets your peepee hard doesn't mean what they're posting is lewd user

>Giant just means a really tall person
I HATE that
Mind you that's mostly because anytime a "Giant" shows up in a "realistic" fantasy setting that's how they're handled and I'm sick and tired of gritty and brown "fantasy" settings

>My dick likes them as huge sexy ladies and lolis.
The sexiest giants are tall enough to have their breasts at the same height as your face, and the cut-off point for sexy giants is the point where they're twice your size. Anything past that is impractical to both parties and dangerous to you.

>The sexiest giants are tall enough to have their breasts at the same height as your face, and the cut-off point for sexy giants is the point where they're twice your size. Anything past that is impractical to both parties and dangerous to you.
Untrue and shows you lack imagination
I would argue that the sexiest giants are either twice your size leaving you at hip level, or in the ~40-50ft range

Depends if magical realm or not.

>the giants in this setting are actually humans cause the only other races are fae, gnomes, halfling, etc.

I actually really like that idea
Though I'd go smaller, have everyone else be pixies or the like

>Anything past that is impractical to both parties and dangerous to you.
But that's part of the fun, user. Giant girls who could obliterate their friends with the smallest movement but nonetheless choose to be gentle and kind give me a heartboner like nothing else.

Have the humans be outside invaders that don't have magic but have advanced technology.

I prefer them to be

HISTORICALLY

ACCURATE

Even better. Starts out with the fairies thinking the tech and science advanced humans are some sort of amoral eldritch horror, preying on them for inscrutable reasons. Heroes rise to use the greatest magics against the invaders...

...and then discover that the humans aren't malevolent at all, but were merely acting in ignorance. Upon discovery of intelligent life they're horrified at what they've done out of carelessness and desire only to talk and attempt to make amends peaceably.

That fairy does not appear pleased by this enforced striptease.

I had a very similar idea for a setting.
It stemmed from the idea of having a setting primarily inhabited with anthropomorphic animals where humans existed but were as technologically advanced and intelligent in relation to the anthropomorphic animals as we are to normal animals and as such treat them in a similar way we do.

She should have had her own anime. Such characters are always cursed to be background support.

What you feel inside yourself right now is the pride of accomplishment, although it is a feeling right now derived from the actions of others and not from yourself.

you see others have kept your work. You take this as meanig that the work you did was good.

you can obtain this natural pride of achievement yourself by estting youreslf goals and working toward them.

... except the Chinese, who still keep trying to harvest them for medicine

I would watch an anime about a giantess superhero

For all the things I didn't like about the show, I liked their design for giants.

Many many others also would, that is the prime reason it will never going to happen.

>Growing huge is always a villain power
Why? Can they just not think of how to use it?
If nothing else throw in some Kaiju fights

The stuff I would do to see those two mountains like that kid.

>make them like 8ft-10ft tall instead of making them fuckhuge
>make them long-lived, slow-breeding vegetarians with humanlike mental faculties, but their differences in social structure, dietary needs and environment keep most of them from being quite as inventive or resourceful as humans because quite frankly they never needed that bad enough for it to be a common evolutionary trait (fortunately this gives options for the odd giant PC who has a human level of inquisitiveness and curiosity, who might find himself access to better education and the like if he manages to get in with some smart humans early on)
>make them kind of like a cross between a gentle caveman and an African elephant in disposition, so people can live with and around them but still need to be somewhat wary of them
>habitat destruction forces them from more settled zones because holy shit there's nowhere to move around and the food's all gone, but on the frontier in cold-but-not-arctic climates where Bergmann's Rule and high fat deposits can keep you warmer when you're huge they can roam around eating plants humans normally can't digest and not giving a fuck about grizzlies because they don't fuck with things bigger than they are

>an interesting concept
Sure thing That Guy...
