Too many is when running into a 4 meter tall potentially violent weirdo is somehow not interesting. Too few is none? I like giants.

They're titanspawn in my campaign, so I take them geographically based on the old dnd forms and pick a random classic greek titan and figure out a way to model the giant as their technomagically mutated descendant.

So Sykeus, the hidden fig titan, spawn have stats as hillgiant with lumpy holehive blisters on their backs that can sprout wasp swarms for ranged attacks. Didn't have to rewrite anything, just used the throwing boulder attack. Described them as having insect eyes, and they use doric columns as clubs.

so basically the giant from Deep Carbon Observatory then?

Yup. And The God That Crawls.
It's a trope now or possibly was before.
>the hidden fig titan,
>hidden fig

Yeah. I think there's odd stuff about figs because of the fig wasp gestation cycle, even before Aristotle wrote about it. But edible plant seeds in general tend to have weird connotations in classic greek stuff.

Good taste

Don’t eat beans because Trojans suck dick, got it.

What classes would you most like to see alongside the 7 presented in B/X? Orc? Psion? Monk?

And butter spread too thin.
And planes you aren't meant to visit.
And where's there a megadungeon?

Cannoneer!

Orcs and goblins, maybe monks too just to keep the human options over the demi-human ones.
