What is it about?

The Kingdom of Uvaluut has suffered from a great cataclysm. But even after the blackest night comes a new dawn, and hope comes with it. And you are a guardian of hope, tasked with escorting a seemingly last living giant across the realm - to the promised haven. Make difficult choices, try to survive, and bond with the giant. Good luck, Caretaker. 

Odyssey of the Giant is a solo tabletop RPG game in which you must escort a last giant across a realm shaken by a cataclysm that left nature and its inhabitants confused and vulnerable. You’ll move hex by hex, meeting different people, facing many challenges, and interacting with what’s left of the kingdom’s magic. 

On 48 pages you’ll find:
  • Comprehensive, but simple rules supported by a wealth of random tables,
  • Four different types of giants, each with specific needs and skills,
  • Variety of hexes, making your adventure unique every time,
  • Day and night cycle, and other survival mechanics,
  • Beautiful illustrations by Marta Szu (just look at the cover!),
  • And much more!

How to play?

Odyssey of the Giant is a solo tabletop RPG, which means it's played alone - without a Game Master or other people. In Odyssey you'll use a set of dice ranging from d4, d6, d10, d12 to d20. You'll need a piece of paper, a pen/pencil, and some free time - that's it.

Here's the simplified setup for the game:
  • Create your Caretaker; give them a name, characteristics, motivation
  • Crate a giant you'll escort; choose from 4 different races, and roll the dice for their characteristics. skills and traits,
  • Discover the world, hex by hex, exploring the unknown, meeting people - both hostile and friendly, navigating dangerous situations, and making difficult choices that will affect your giant and your relationship with them
  • Set a camp at night, sum up the day, level up your giant, and prepare for the road ahead
  • Engage in side quests, but never lose the main goal from your sight
