Description
In a remote section of the Valley of the Moon, deep within the Hollow of the Three Kings, wicked giant bosses have risen with world-ending ambition. Bouldercrunch’s “Doom Bringer,” a huge siege weapon of timber, bone and iron is nearly ready to roll, flattening everything in its path. In the icy north, Winterbeard searching for a legendary artifact known as the “Hammer of Frosty Might” has unknowingly released a shapeshifting alien horror that mimics and replaces its prey. And in the depths of the Hellforge Citadel, Emberheart’s terrible invention nears activation, the “Pylons of World Flame,” a magical engine that will ignite volcanoes across the world and seal the planet in an atmosphere of fire and brimstone! Once more, heroes are called to infiltrate the giant strongholds and stop these nefarious schemes. Treasures beyond your wildest dreams await those bold enough to destroy these evil bastards and discover all of the hidden secrets in the Land Beyond the Giants!

AUTHORS NOTE:
Land Beyond the Giants is my homage to old-school giant-slaying fantasy modules like Gary Gygax’s “Against the Giants” series with a twist of maximum mayhem. If you’re looking for high-stakes fun with big surprises, a sandbox-style adventure that blends iconic monster encounters with a ticking doomsday clock, this is the module for you! This adventure expands the story introduced in my previous module Maximum Mayhem Dungeons #0: Village on the Borderlands and is centered in the Hollow of the Three Kings, a deeply remote section of the Valley of the Moon. You can run Land Beyond the Giants directly as a sequel to the VotB sandbox or drop it seamlessly into your own home brew world and even tie it into a campaign with the classic Gygax original giants module series above. Our focus here is on player freedom, exploration, and scalable challenge. From sabotaging a monstrous war machine in the Western Earthen Highlands, to unmasking a shapeshifting horror in the frost-bitten northern Icehorn Peaks, to stopping a volcanic apocalypse in the blazing Southern Ashlands—this story puts your players at the center of world-shaking events. Each of the three giant domains offers unique dangers, complex villains, and tactical encounters. The threats are grand, but the structure remains flexible—meaning you can ramp up the mayhem or dig into the strained tensions between giant factions. Land Beyond the Giants is designed to be re-playable, expandable, and modular. The encounters are deadly, the treasures are legendary, and the outcomes are memorable. Thanks again for supporting my Maximum Mayhem Dungeons™ series. I hope you and your players enjoy it! — Mark Taormino (05/09/26)
