Take a stand against the giants in this adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game

Giants have emerged from their strongholds to threaten civilization as never before. Hill giants are stealing all the grain and livestock they can while stone giants have been scouring settlements that have been around forever. Fire giants are press-ganging the smallfolk into the desert, while frost giant longships have been pillaging along the Sword Coast. Even the elusive cloud giants have been witnessed, their wondrous floating cities appearing above Waterdeep and Baldur’s Gate. Where is the storm giant King Hekaton, who is tasked with keeping order among the giants?

The humans, dwarves, elves, and other small folk of the Sword Coast will be crushed underfoot from the onslaught of these giant foes. The only chance at survival is for the small folk to work together to investigate this invasion and harness the power of rune magic, the giants’ weapon against their ancient enemy the dragons. The only way the people of Faerun can restore order is to use the giants’ own power against them.

To defeat giants, you need to be giant!

An excellent premade adventure with a TON of content, almost too much

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2018

There is so much here; almost too much. An excellent adventure.

But I have some suggestions:
- It would have been better if WOTC provided accompanying digital maps (both for players and DMs) to be displayed on monitors while playing. I had to search all over to find the right ones (without the numbers on the buildings) to use for my players.
- As a new 5e player, it would have been good to have some examples of how to integrate all of the five political factions (along with Slarkrethel, the Kraken) into the game. Trying to integrate the factions along with the expected encounters can be overwhelming to newer DMs. Maybe a list of 5 ways to integrate into play.
- Some of the fetch quests were contrived and not compelling. One involves delivering a cat from the initial encounter, to another city for the next possible encounter. Many people have said the same. I managed to find some more compelling workarounds for the players to go from one place to another without being railroaded.
- The game is actually an excellent premade adventure with a TON of content. It's the best (and worst) of both worlds sandbox/railroading. The fetch quests are a bit railroady but the sandbox is HUGE (all of Faerûn) so there are a lot of homebrew things a DM can add.
- I HIGHLY suggest researching all the political factions first (think about how they can be integrated into the game, I plugged them into the players' backstories, which made it much easier and believable) as well as researching some of the history of the major cities and all of Faerûn. It took me 2 months to prepare for the game, but I was also learning the 5e system as well. I also suggest finding maps online of each location; I suggest buying maps from Mike Schley (mikeschley. com/projects). They are well worth it.

Good adventure but do some research first.

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2022

So, this is a great adventure for 5e. It is halfway between being linear and a sandbox as the players have lots of options on how they will proceed, but obviously there’s an overall goal and story to follow as well.

If you’re thinking about running this, I suggest watching some YouTube reviews on it first so you get a good idea of what’s involved, and how much work you’ll need to put into it as a DM.

This is an excellent adventure if you’re looking for something to tie-in to another adventure that takes place on the Sword Coast like Lost Mine of Phandelver or Waterdeep Dragon Heist. It also sort of acts like a 2nd version of the Sword Coast adventurer’s guide in that they detail and flesh out a ton of the areas between Luskan and Mirabar - basically the area in the northeast of the Sword Coast.

Im using it as a tie in with Tyranny of Dragons, and will be modifying it quite a bit to fit in with that campaign.

Well organized, amazing story

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm completely enthralled by the story of this book. It's well thought out. Although I haven't run this campaign for my players yet I can see where it would be intriguing and captivating for a player to uncover.

The thing that I'm most impressed so far is this: the campaign is the most sandbox-y and open world campaign that I will have ever run. I can see where this would be complicated and frustrating as a beginning DM to undertake, but the designers of the book lay things out in a controlled fashion with lots of charts, suggested encounters, and explanations. This makes the campaign much more manageable. Each location marked on the master map of the Northern Sword Coast has an excellent summary of what can be found in the location and examples of what a DM can throw at the players to make a fun and rewarding encounter there. There are also plenty of easy plot hooks available for the DM to get the players back on track (which may be entirely necessary with an open-world game).

As with all D&D 5e books that I've purchased I'm incredibly satisfied by the artwork throughout the book. Does it add to the story itself? No it doesn't. But the amount that it adds to the process of reading through the book is definitely to be considered. It also gives a DM that isn't sometimes the best at describing the world some great visuals to show to the players to help them understand the setting.

As far as the physical build of this book, unlike several of my other Wizards of the Coast books I've ordered this one arrived in great shape with no damage to the pages or spine.

TLDR Needs a better editor and cross reference.

Storm King’s Thunder Review
After Adventure League Play. 4.5 out 5 stars
TLDR Needs a better editor and cross reference.
Okay scan the 1st, 2nd, and 4th chapters first as you need to know information from chapter 4 before the middle of chapter 2.
Some problems.
I ran the Goldenfields encounter in Chapter Two. The map does not match the text of the battle as Inn G8 is almost a mile from the G6 the center of the town. The G7 Abbey is a mile and a half from the Inn.
Chapter 10 mentions a scroll of True Resurrection but that magic item does not appear in the book.
On the various quests I recommend you write in the page numbers to prevent searching for information. An example from my notes is You still have Zi Lang Quest (Page 52 and 112) You need to deliver a black pearl to Caulder Marskyl who is the head butler of House Thann. The house is known for its wines.
The world map is too small and you will need to print a large version.
Good things.
Lots of mini quests in chapter 3. All three pillars of gaming are possible with this book. Some NPCs are very memorable.
Most maps are very readable to these old eyes.
Lots of nice art work.
As long as you let your players take lots of mini quests or wander around the world will have plenty of play time. My players took 81 hours to complete it.

DM Guide

Art work alone is worth the cost, but it's much more.

Reviewed in Canada on June 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

Everything I wanted to say about this has already been covered by other reviewers, so I'll say that the 3 double page pictures are amazing and give incredible images to show to your players before, during or after a battle with the Giants.

I enjoy the last one in the book of a slain giant who has a severed head the most. I think showing that particular one to the players after a hard and stressful, but successful fight against a tough hill giant would give a strong sense of accomplishment and excitement to the players while helping them visualize the task they've completed. I love it as is, so as a player it would be that much more incredible IMO.

As usual the majority of the other artwork scattered amongst the pages is great too. Having the visuals of important NPCs is also a big plus as a DM.

There's also a nice double page spread of a regional map as well as numerous location maps relating to specific missions. Maps are always a useful item for any DM.

As far as the rest of it goes, the story is pretty solid, and there are several side missions apart from the main storyline to help keep your players busy.

Im sure my players will enjoy being able to play as several of the important NPCs with that being a favourite dynamic of mine encouraged in this book. It gives a closer sense to the story and the possible repercussions of an important NPC dying.(Missing out on possible side missions/rewards)

With some new magic items and several new random tables as well as some new enemy stat blocks that aren't in the DM guide or Monster manual it opens up the game a little bit more to both the player and the DM.

All in all, I give it 5 stars and think all DMs should own a copy if even only for the art and as a reference guide for ideas in their own homebrew world.

Uma continuação infalível da aventura introdutória

Reviewed in Brazil on October 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

Mestro há 8 anos e não tinha narrado nenhuma campanha pronta. Minha falta de tempo me levou a pesquisar sobre as campanhas da 5a edição e comprei esse livro 6 meses atrás. Abaixo segue um panorama quase completo de Storm King's Thunder(SKT), com opiniões e alguns spoilers: é aqui que nos despedimos e o mestre da sua mesa continua lendo.

Começamos tímidos, com 3 jogadores. Decidimos que iríamos começar pelo nível 1, embora houvessem jogadores recém-saídos de Lost Mine of Phandelver(LMoP) do Starter Set, aventura introdutória do sistema. No livro há dicas para a transição da LMoP para SKT, o que acabou acontecendo posteriormente com um dos meus jogadores e seu personagem nível 5, que entrou lá pela terceira sessão.

Achei o capítulo 1 muito fraco. Ele tenta dar uma pincelada sobre a evolução dos personagens do nível 1 ao 5. É um esboço muito rude de um intervalo de níveis muito interessante. A LMoP fez um trabalho muito mais incrível nesse aspecto, resgatando nuances primordiais do sistema. É como se eu fosse de novo um novato, desbravando com meus jogadores um mundo desconhecido. Caso esteja com pouco poder monetário recomendo começar pelo Starter Set, que é metade do preço de um livro e é autocontido. O SKT precisa dos livros básicos: Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master Guide e Monster Manual.

Logo no capítulo 2 temos três possibilidades de cidades a serem visitadas: Bryn Shander, direto do Vale do Vento Gélido; Goldenfields, a provedora de Waterdeep; ou Triboar, que escolhemos e cunhamos de "Três Javalis". Só posso falar obviamente de Três Javalis, que é uma cidade repleta de desenvolvimentos para os personagens de acordo com a estalagem que resolvam ficar. No final desse capítulo há uma invasão de gigantes onde cada jogador (até 6) recebe um NPC e tem a tarefa de interpretá-lo e mantê-lo vivo durante o combate. A recompensa são sidequests que culminam no capítulo 3, que é uma espécie de sandbox na Costa da Espada.

Essa parte é mais demorada e exige grande preparo do mestre. Os personagens podem ir pra qualquer lugar embora tenham objetivos pré-estabelecidos. Nesse momento utilizei duma aventura curta porém muito útil, chamada Kraken's Gamble, que se passa na cidade de Yartar (a próxima depois de Três Javalis) onde os personagens conhecem NPCs e situações que voltarão no capítulo 11. Esse adendo está disponível na internet por poucos dólares e vale cada centavo.

No capítulo 4 a história segue linear com o encontro de um NPC gigante de gelo muito querido aos meus jogadores: Harshnag. É aqui que eles começam a entender mais sobre o que está acontecendo no mundo e porque os gigantes estão atacando toda a região. Há eventos trágicos que levam ao capítulo 5.

A história desagua em uma de 5 vertentes. É nessa parte da aventura que os heróis confrontam lordes gigantes em seus lares. Os tipos de gigantes são: colina, pedra, gelo, fogo e nuvem.

É possível visitar as três cidades e matar todos os lordes gigantes, caso seja do desejo da mesa. Concluímos que seria muito demorado já que o livro não utiliza XP e sim milestones. O sandbox do capítulo 3 já dá pra medir a sensação da mesa de como que é ficar congelado num nível independente do número de monstros derrotados.

Como cada capítulo é uma dungeon de um tipo de lorde gigantes, o capítulo 10 retoma para a ida do grupo à corte dos gigantes da tempestade e é aqui que a trama se revela. Os últimos capítulos consistem numa tentativa de resgate e o enfrentamento de um inimigo épico.

Há inúmeros personagens memoráveis que me diverti ao interpretar. Há diversas situações onde se necessita de uma decisão moral do grupo. De qualquer maneira, jogamos praticamente todo final de semana, de 4 a 6h por sessão e ainda ficou muita coisa pra ver.

No próximo sábado terminaremos esse livro, com 8 jogadores, para continuarmos com Tomb of Annihilation(ToA). Foi uma experiência incrível e recomendo muito a todos que tiverem a oportunidade.
