Nice some much needed giant love.
Yes, please.
It's certainly pure coincidence that this guide features monsters which are a crucial part of a certain AP's plot...
They would need to have seriously covered some others,
Hummm, Wait a minute maybe you have something there! ;)
Cyclopes! Wo-hoo!
Great, a few days ago I wanted this book and Paizo delivers
Goblins and Ogres are covered in Classic Monsters Revisited, Ghouls are done in Classic Horrors Revisited.
Your spoiling the plot-line for some! ;) (this is a joke!)
But basicaly I was trying to say that the others had been covered.
I'll have to work on my funny-guy tone of writing.

Sure, there are two out of ten interesting for RotRL, but what else would you have put in? The giant races/societies are more or less set (in stone - hehe) for a pretty long time and all mentioned are iconic.
It's going to be interesting to learn more about the cyclops' society for using this information in my KM campaign to fill all the treasure of V with fluff.
Ruyan.
I have been waiting for this one. Now I need Fey Revisited

There is likely to be something about cyclopes in Lost Kingdoms as well, since it is apparently going to cover Ghol-Gan. Of course, that's a heck of a long way from the River Kingdoms.
I'm sure this book will be as well done as the others in the series, but at the moment I'm not very excited about a book on giants.

No Wood Giants? Cyclopes are a better tie-in to Skulls and Shackles I guess.Turns out I think cyclopes are cooler than wood giants, and thus wood giants got left behind. Sorry!
Well, there can always be a 'Not so cool Giants Revisited', with Wood Giants, Ettins and Athachs ...
The only thing that annoys me about the cyclopes that even at my groups current pace, they'll have finished Kingmaker 3 by the time the book comes out.

I am really excited about this book! I always wanted to see a giant and a fey handbook come out for 3.5, and instead now we get it with Pathfinder, which is even better!
I am voting to see a couple random tables in the back, like "contents of a giant's bag" and "content of a giant's cave". Any chance we might get these thrown in as well? :)
Yes! It will be great to see an entire book covering the giants of Golarion. Hopefully we'll get everything from the classic big dumb bully to the deformed murderous cannibals to the dreaded sorcerers of Norse myth.
I have been SO looking forward to something like this! :)
A visit to a certain hill steading, glacier, and hall lies in the future of a particular group of PCs, and those giants really need some help (particularly after they were folded into the Humanoid type). Otherwise they simply become oversized bags of hit points with an astoundingly low touch AC.

So trolls and wood giants are lame? wow......a life without wood giants and trolls is like sushi without wasabi! it unbelievable!

Trolls were already covered in Classic Monsters Revisited and I have to agree with James on cyclopses versus wood giants.
Yay, Ryan!
Do we know who is writing about wich type(s) of Giants?
BRING ON THE BIG GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can see right now that I'm going to be a very broke and happy GM for the next several months, you guys keep steamrolling with excellent releases. Am loving the treatment of the classics in the Revisited series so far, can't wait to get my hands on this one as well.
So we're getting a write-up for Marsh giants? Huh, I didn't think they were that popular.
I do hope they settle on just what illustration to use; I vastly prefer the slimy gray-skinned savage from RotRL #5 to the potbellied Deep One from Bestiary 2. Though I suppose the latter is one of the brineborn.
Well I am sure that there will be something interesting written for Marsh Giants besides they can't all be "winners".

I don't know, I'm more keen on the illustration in Bestiary 2 myself. The illustration in RotRL #5 wasn't very memorable. The look in Bestiary 2 is distinctive.
I like the picture in the Beastairy 2 better myself as well.
Cyclops! Finally the rulers of an ancient empire are getting the limelight. Will there be hints as to their long gone empire?
yea that is a fascinating topic and one I hope gets some fluff
I am most interested in the Cyclopes, Cloud Giants, and Storm Giants myself.
I doubt that there is going to be any specific info on the cyclops' empire, Thomas - since that is Golarion-specific and these products aim for a more generic use.
Ruyan.

The revisited line is actually where they put the Golarion specific stuff. The Bestiaries are where they stay away from setting fluff.
You're of course right, Jam. Can't imagine where I got that notion from.
Ruyan.
This sounds like it is going to be a great product! I have enjoyed the other Revisited products that Paizo has put out. I wonder if they might do fey folk next?
I like all of there revisited books as well.
Would love a revisited book for Fey(and a Gazetteer for the first world)
I wish for a another misfit monsters and classic treasure type books as well.
Giant slayer fighter archetype with attack bonus = size difference....I want an effective Halfling fighter!
Nice cover!
I'm looking forward to marsh giants and cyclopes.
I know I freelance, but deep down.. being sincere as a customer.. this book is one that I'm pretty excited about. Content sounds awesome.
Is this Ryan's first work for Paizo? If so, congrats!
That might be the best looking cover of any Paizo book I have seen yet.
It's in the top three for sure.
They need to keep that artist in the stable.
