"Odyssey of the Giant" is nominated for Ennie Awards! You can vote now.
Hi there! This is huge news...
"Odyssey of the Giant" was nominated for the ENNIE Awards, one of the most important awards in the TTRPG world!

I'd absolutely love to get your vote, I'm not gonna lie. But at the same time, I'm pretty naive and I believe in fair competition. So please, vote for it ONLY if you truly think it deserve to win.
I know that at this stage the ENNIEs are a popularity contest, and there are games way more popular than mine. Still, I'd only ask for votes from people who actually enjoy what I made alongside a team of amazing artists and editors.

Here's the link to the ballot: https://vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2026/

Thank you for your ongoing support, for all the reviews, all the kind words. That means more than any award already.
Also, if you can, check out the other nominees. They're all amazing.
Let the best one win.

Best,
Paweł

New giant, new translations, big update!
Hi there!

Thank you for supporting Odyssey of the Giant*! To celebrate a Brazilian edition of this game, we've just added a new giant, made specifically for that version - and it's now available in the updated PDF, alongside some minor corrections (available through DTRPG)!

We are also expecting a new giant for... another version, and meanwhile, we are happy to announce that the game will be published in 3 new languages, including French, Czech... and more! ;)

*If you haven't had a chance to back the game, you can get it directly here:
PDF: https://heltung-storytelling.itch.io/odyssey-of-the-giant
Physical: https://shop.heltung.online/products/odyssey-of-the-giant


Enjoy,

US Update [Important]
Tragedy has struck. All the books designated for the US shipping got destroyed in transit. 
That will push as back like 2 months... 
We are currently looking for options to deliver you your books as soon and as safe as possible.

Shipping for all the other locations is not affected and has already started. 

Best,
Paweł

Final Update: Sending the books!
Hi there!
The books are printed, and we’re ready to send them out! 🎉

Here’s what happens next:
1. Address updates (48h window)
You have the next 48 hours to update your shipping address or finalize your Pledge Manager details.

2. First wave of shipping (next week)
We’ll start packing and sending the first batch of orders next week:
  • EU orders first
  • Rest of the World next

3. US orders (different process)
Unfortunately, due to new regulations, we can’t ship directly to US backers. Instead, we’ll be using a US-based fulfillment partner who will handle your packages. It may take 2–4 weeks for the books to reach them (transoceanic shipping + customs formalities). As soon as the books arrive, they’ll start shipping out to all US backers right away.

PS: Pre-orders will stay open for the next 48h as well!

Thanks again for your patience, we’re almost there!
Best,
Paweł

Update XIII: It's ready. Check your emails and read this update! :)
Hello everyone,

Great news today! The PDF version of Odyssey of the Giant has been released. Please check your email from DriveThruRPG for your copy.

The print version has already been ordered. Printing usually takes about a month, so it should be ready soon.
Because of new tariff laws in the United States we will not be shipping from Poland as originally planned. Instead, fulfillment will be handled through a US partner. This option is more expensive but we will be covering the extra costs ourselves to keep things fair for you.

We are locking your orders now (meaning, you have 24h to change it - e.g. add something). In three weeks, we will begin locking addresses, so please change, update, or enter your shipping addresses before then. Also, make sure your details are correct so that everything goes smoothly. 

PS: If you did not receive the email from DriveThruRPG or if you have any issues or questions, please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]

PS2: We are going to update the files with the fillable + printer friendly Character Sheet later this week, so keep an eye on that!

Thank you again for your undying patience and support! 

All the best,
Paweł

Update XII: A quick look at the progress.
It's been a while, sorry again for the lack of regular updates. A lot has been happening behind the scenes, and I’d like to share why things took a bit longer than expected.

The game was essentially written last month (and about 98% finished back in April/May), but after more rounds of playtesting, I realized it wasn’t quite working the way I intended. It was playable and fun, sure, but not as good as I wanted it to be. So I took some time to tweak the rules, refine the structure, and wait for additional editing to be completed.

Now, I’m happy to say the core rules are in a shape I feel confident sharing with you all. I’m currently polishing the layouts (a few examples of how it looks right now below). Once the final proofread is done, I’ll adjust the PDF and send it your way.

Just a few spreads to show how it's shaping up.


PS: The Pledge Manager is still live. We’ll lock it when the PDFs are sent out. If you’ve changed locations, feel free to update your address, there’s still time.
PS2: The good news is that the book will be bigger than anticipated.

If you have any questions, drop me a line at [email protected]

Thanks again for your patience and support,
Paweł
