Kill Every Monster

The Monster Manual states that "ancient empires once cast long shadows over a world that quaked beneath the giants’ feet. In those lost days, these towering figures were dragon slayers, dreamers, crafters, and kings, but their kind fell from glory long ago. However, even divided among secluded clans scattered throughout the world, the giants maintain the customs and traditions of old."

We are joined by Juni Ruiz. Juni is a Pro GM, content creator, and very nerdy dad. When he's not running after his adorable toddler or co-hosting Warlocks & Waffles, the *only* 8 a.m. TTRPG morning show, he brings characters to life on TTRPG streams and podcasts. Inexplicably, he still finds time to watch too much anime and keep up with his other favorite fandoms/hobbies, such as Pokemon, Power Rangers, more anime, and board games.

Twenty years ago, we played a game. We recorded that game and shared it over the airwaves of our high school radio station, WKEY AM 1360. People listened. So did other things. Twenty years later, we were invited to play a live reunion show for the hardcore fans. Little did we know, this time the game was real.
