7:12 Hill Giants lift boulders. Storm Giants lift whales. Titans lift...whatever they want.

Lol the titans out mass the storm giants- "They lift" 🤣🤣😂😂

Now I can't help but think there's some old Crone of a witch that lives in the extreme Far North living out of an old giant shoe

The way you describe that last paragraph about "just another of the many forgotten realms," is really good. Lovecraftian even. Never stop, Loremaster.

Hey Aj! Thanks for another spicy video. This time I'm actually off work and I'm actually able to, as you say, get comfy and grab a beverage.

DUDE You never fucking fail. I wanted to add a Titan to my campaign, and I said "Yknow who'll have a lore video about this? AJ fucking Pickett." I'll be a patron soon, I promise.

"Why do my eyes hurt?" "Because you never used them before Keanu Reeves." I'm finding out I'm thinking too small as a Dm sending giants out to pillage. They seriously have things to do.

15:20. Who thought they would see the matrix in an AJ Pickett video?

A boulder with an 11" diameter would weigh a lot more then 850lbs. If it was roughly spherical made of granite it would be around 60 metric ton

Thank you Professor! P.s. got my Vecna shirt. My party is concerned as to what I may be implying for the future :)

This channel is so good. The depth of research that goes into each lore video is just immense.

Once again, you’ve overlooked the mighty Dwarven Titan. Standing over 6 feet tall and weighing as much as a large man, they are the runts of Titan kind but were feared and worshipped by dwarves one the early days of Toril. Also, Great Video AJ.

Imagine babysitting a 6 foot tall 300 lb Titanic 8 month old! Looney toons level shenanigans are certain to ensue.

I am and always will be a big fan and supporter of Hill Giants, Ogres, Wereboars, and other such primitive and chubby and awesome races

This is what i needed this morning.

AJ really explains the mindset of these beings so well. The alien thoughts, wants, needs, and motivations. Brilliant video!

AJ I love your fantasy, RPG, and ecology videos I love every minute of it.

Imagine a Titan artificer get that turret that artificer usually built for that one class and mount that on their arm or back you got shoulder-mounted or wrist mounted Cannon

I was just about to log off RU-vid and game until I get blackout drunk... you interrupted that. Not a complaint. Again, giants in that world, I say, are lovingly akin to Nordic gods of this Earth. Great video AJ, such delicious mind candy. I used Titans (now "Empyreans") not so rarely in my campaigns, I'm a 2nd Ed dinosaur. The guide has shown that they were all unique and the stats were a template. Also, each one had a rather unique godlike power relative to that particular Titan. I kept in mind that they are Demigods of the Giants (not directly addressed in AD&D but more implied as a demigod race of giants). I had them all primarily reside on Olympus (or whatever it is called now) but they dwelled in all the non-Lawful non-Evil planes as their other outer-planar realms. When the descended to the Prime Material plane, it was usually out of boredom but ultimately super-important on the Prime Material plane and that Titan's current mood. I kept in mind the specific godlike power that is unique to each Titan. They are perfect pseudo-god antagonists or even patrons/matrons of quests. If you play Ultima, having a Titan form of Lord Brittish would have been a good one. My last Titan was Thanatos, he had power over life and death and his favorite curse was immortality. He could cancel any attempt to raise the dead if he can see you, anyone he slays cannot be raised from the dead, and he can call anyone from their final resting place into the plane he is in with a new body. If you attack him, you must save vs. death or die and that he can opt to not do at any moment. With a wave of his hand, anything undead that he sees turns to dust (corporeal) or nothing (non-corporeal). The God of Death's clergy (in a secret pact with a powerful lich the clergy is also an enemy to) recruited the heroes to confront Thanatos. The mission had more twists than old attic-stored Christmas lights.

So Anams last son will herald his return, does that mean either the Ettin god or Lanaxas will have to muster some way to restore Ostoria and allow the return of Anam?

Wow, I love this series just as much as any monster ecology videos. There is so much inspiration and lore for new campaign settings. I can’t wait to add this lore to my own world. Thanks AJ!

How does that Titan origin mesh with the Dragon Magazine article that talks about the Titans being beloved by the gods until they tried to create their own races and fought a war with the gods causing most to be scattered and some to be imprisoned in Carceri including Chronos who's trapped in an illusion spell in which he's successfully killing all of the gods and once he kills the last illusory god he'll realize it's all an illusion, break free and then probably start killing the gods for real.

So titans reproduce like mortals and at a pretty fast pace for immortals, so at one point they could just outnumber all other outer planar beings. Or am I misunderstanding things? I think I’m bad at grasping infinity.

Great video AJ,i've been looking forward to this one and really enjoyed it. Happy New Year Kiwi!

Regarding diet, goat is very lean. I've butchered dozens of them. All told 4 to 6 lbs fat per goat is about your harvest. Better to use lard, titans could raise pigs like we raise rats or mice. And since we raise alligator for meat, I imagine titans might raise dragons for me at if they could get away with it. Interesting backdrop for a campaign, pc's quested to free dragons from a titan meat farm. Thank you AJ! I've learned in this life that one doesn't get there unless they go there.thanks for going there with us, sir!

Cool vid bro

Ulutiu (if I spelled that right) might be related in some way to the Ulutiun who are the Inuit/Siberian/Aleut folk who live on the glacier. Any thoughts AJ?

I loved this presentation. Fantastic choice on imagery. Pininerest is really our friends these days.

Great stuff AJ, i picked up a copy of Giantcraft of my very own to help in this learning process. What would you say is a book that details most of the known prehistory?

You know it's odd that I watch the Giant videos there's no such thing as iron Giants their mechanical or something like that

Love the vid. Keep them coming!

Happy new year! Here's to another great one with you and the channel.

All the latest vids are good editing good narrating and good length .one of my favorite youtube channels.hours and hours of best dnd info on youtube

Thank you as always!

Just found your channel thanks to a students suggestion. Liked and subbed. Excellently done!

Well done AJ!

This made me think of 2 things, the first was I just recently rediscovered the Giants book from the 70's, I'm sure you know the one I mean & I'm finishing the series by Ed McDonald called the Raven's Mark that you would probably love. Its about these powerful people called the Nameless who fight against evil beings called the Deep Kings. In the beginning, you learn that last time Crowfoot, one of the Nameless, used a weapon that created a no man's land called the Misery. Lots of dark magic & bizarre effects in the Misery. In the last book they need the heart of a sort of titan, a world snake frozen in some crazy lake.

Two things: 1. I had no idea that titans were in the 5e Monster Manual under 'Empyrean', until just now. Totally missed that, somehow. I may have to revise the homebrew 5e conversion of Zadara from Planescape that I made a few weeks back (or maybe not... I was fairly proud of my work on that one and, looking at the 5e version, I like mine better lol). 2. I'm sort of surprised that AJ didn't mention Zadara on this video.

Is there going to be a full video on Ysgard?

Thanks Mr Pickett

Keep up the good work 😁

Thank you.

7:29 aww Asterix and the 12 tasks.🤓 You have good taste in movies.👍

Since Lanaxis was both an Empyrean Titan and a member of the Titan race of giants I wonder if he was shorter than his average descendant since Empyreans are shorter than Annams Titans on average

FYI an 11 foot boulder would weigh much much much more than 850 pounds. I would say an 850 pound boulder is probably around 5 foot boulder.

BABY TITANS!

Thanks

I dont like what you do, I love it

Weren't some titans exiled to the lower planes? (Maybe Gehenna or Carceri?) It's been a while since I read planescape books so I may be remembering this wrong.

Loved this one, the giants are really interesting. You should do a video on the lord of blades from eberron, he’s really cool but in 5e it doesn’t seem like they really go into his lore that much

In Greek mythology, the Titans were just as much the same kinds of entities as the gods, just different by generation. Which, I'm actually not sure whether is more or less interesting than the D&D version.

I feel like going to watch a Attack on Titans

A titanic video

The prophecy can be more powerful than the Gods. How. Not that I doubt it; it's that I want to control it

So there are 3 giant demigods left? (Aside from the exiled Empyrians) Dunmore ? ? Sorry if i missed it!

I'm sorry. I'm looking for one of your videos on a plant... I watched it and cant seem to find it or what the thing is called.. It's a plant that makes plant creatures.

So are Ettins true Giants, Giant-kin or mage-bred creatures?

OK, so I don't do this, but I'm doing it, I'm interested on your take/ a video about the calamity dragons from 4e, I don't remember there being much, but I love the idea behind them and am reaching out to show them some love. (There is even an updated list of them for 5e on the DM's guild.) I really like the videos anyway and don't mind if you don't do anything on them, just thought I'd try.

Now with both this and the empyreans video i can get to ironing out afew things as i world build. 🛠⚙🧱🔩🗜🌍 The radiant dragons video is something i'm looking forwards too - Also Mrrhexx is doing an intresting series on elven high magic. 🧝‍♂️✨🧝‍♀️ Although you're probably already watching it. I've got videos on two channels to catch up with now - besides poping on the occasional Mrrhexx vid & don't even get me started on world avils stuff... 📚⚖😰 D&D content is starting to become like one of those liberaries you get with a mansion - that are so vast, you know that you'll never finish reading it... XD Well besides the idea of a devil mannaging to conscript a bunch of titans into fighting as their personal regiment in the blood war completely against their own free will and volition, with their only negative catch being that they have to avoid the personal grasping crush attempts by their own politle little big "mountain cracker" soldiers. As the elioquently curse them out as the realitively evil flying thorny over grown fairy they appear to be. 😈🧚‍📑 Besides that, i feel abit(alot) snobbish about sindarin when i look at quenya. And besides that too. I have this burning question in my mind - about D.N.A. planar lore - since nymphs are spawned by natural beauty & the clock work nirvana of mechanus is "naturally beautifull" would there then thus be vast prisons of natively chaotic nymphs locked up for all the lawfull reasons? Cos if there were, you could subvert the damsel in distress trope, with the - "wemen are the chaotic appocalypse." theme, that alot of peps alude too. I'm asking for the D&D planar wheel?

I've never heard of the wood giants before, I'm having a hard time finding more information about them. Anyone have any leads?

There are so many books out there about this, I just want to find one to follow. Where can u start?

Half Titan half Dwarf.

Imagine the guy who would father the hill giants. Would have the be the biggest loser of giant kind.

A Goliath sits in a sweat lodge, searching for guidance. As the heat rises and the sweat rolls off like tiny waterfalls. He slips into a fevered dream. Where his met by 2 Titans. Asking him to play a game with them. As they have a bet between the two. The bet is to go and seek out the fabled kingdom of Osteria. We titans can't interfere with this. The most help we can offer is the reseeding of the ice sheets to help your travels. But your travels must start off this mountain and in the low lands. For even the lesser beings can offer help. If you find this kingdom. It's yours. As a prize for playing this game. If you give up or perish, the game is over and you get nothing. Do we have a accord, Master Goliath??

Is there going to be a full video on Zuggtmoy, the Lady of Rot?

Not gonna lie, it always feels so disappointing that Giants are so small. I wouldn't look at a 10ft tall creature and say "wow what a giant!" So I make Giants actually giant. A Hill Giant starts at 15ft and a Storm Giant caps at 75ft. So I assume a Titans would be 100+ft

Imagine. Just imagine the amount of poop a titan baby produce. They need a whole valley to dump the gigantic baby diapers.

I kept expecting the Attack on Titan theme song to start playing

Cheese? I LOVE CHEESE! I may be drunk.

If Annam really loved Othea, he would have been happy for her.

мне понравилось ! накрутка лайка и комментарий , для алгоритмов ютуба =)!!!

ok so the titans from D&D are the same as the greek myth. Their is a cronus and he gave birth to zeus and the gods ? So the gods are giant-kin ??? Lenaxis is the father of the titans. Then wth are the gods ??? Also is an empyean, just the titans that live in arborea ? and why does nobody have a video on it. Is the myth of the nephilim just the greek gods.
