    I have to go with the Frost Giants, mostly because I think G2 was one of the most difficult environments to adventure in as far as Greyhawk modules go. Even the G3 follow up seemed to pale in comparison.

    First, the pure environmental conditions alone were downright hostile to my players, then the giants were well organized, and finally, those great fireball spells did little good when it made the glacier melt all around you!

    O-D

    I have to go with Fire Giants. I choose this race because it is one of only a few giant types I have faced since 3rd Edition. My party got kicked pretty hard but the most devistating encounter with a giant I have been part of was a Half-Dragon Cloud Giant. Whoa! That was rough, 3 party deaths! But the Fire Giants seem to be much tougher in 3rd Edition. Guess if I had more up to date experience I might go with another one but all arrows point to Fire Giant right now.

    Y'all LIKE the giants that kicked your PC's asses?

    Weird.

    I like the firbolgs. Of all the giant races, I think they have the most 'personality'.

    I have always liked the Storm Giants of all the giant races, unfortunately GH has little in way of development of them.

    Why no Veerbig? With a town named Veerbig Hill in Greyhawk, they should at least have a slot on the voting.

    I don't know if I would call them favorates, but I do enjoy running Veerbigs encounters. I play them as big, dumb, hillbillies. "Lookee here, JimBob, dwarves!" "Yessiree, BillyJack. Maw always said, where there be dwarves, there be gold. We might could try to catch the runts!"

    I voted for the Cloud Giants. They are tough enemies but also are the most refined of all giant kin.

    Saludos,

    I voted for frost giants, but truthfully I would have voted Verbeeg if given the chance... they were definatly the giants that I used the most in previous editions.

    Even though I voted for fire giants, I like frost giants a lot. But I was surprised for their advantage here. BTW, I am finishing translating this week a story about frost giants. I hope it won't disappoint the fans :-)

    I have to go with the Frost Giants on this one, they just seem so cool.
