Are there any TRPG systems dedicated to playing as giants?
>>

sweaty the "giant" in that picture is just symbolism for the HRE being a bloated warmongering state that ruins Crusader Kings playthroughs
you should've posted the image with the loincloth cave giant that impales an american golem with his massive wood

>he doesn't know that the teutonic knights had nephilim

>>94420179
And what would you gain from that?

Doing a Dread style Jenga tower but you have to pull a block every time your giant tries to interact with the world carefully and gently could be fun. Need to make it a bit light hearted, essentially any violence or strength related taskkis auto success due to being fucking huge. The hard part is when being fuckoff huge isn't enough. So the stakes have to be unusual and seem better suited to fairy tale whimsy more than just

The giant already got gains, that's why they're giant.

There's Iron Edda; you don't play Giants necessarily, but you can play Norsemen who have bonded the their souls to the bones of giants in order to fight dorfs in mechs.

Mekton if you stretch the definition of "playing as a giant"

>>94420179
Dragonquest allows for giant PCs. I wouldn't say it's dedicated to play as a giant though, they're ultimately pretty similar to other playable races and I think mechanically rather weak. (High XP penalty)

I will now make an RPG system called Nephelym which is based around playing a colossal humanoid who may or may not take on the animalistic or elemental traits of its patron god. Enemies will be divided into three types, similar to Genesys: Mobs (Large groups of weak enemies who will not stand a chance on their own.) Armies (Large groups of armed and trained enemies who do stand a threat of harming you.) and Heroes, (Singular, powerful enemies who are possibly a match for you, probably.)

Character progession would represent becoming more in touch with your patron's aspect or rejecting it to embrace the aspect of your inner nature as the child of an Angel and one of the few being son the plane that can channel the power of YHWH in the way that Heroes channel Amon, Tengri, Helios, Curupira, etc.
