DnD 5e – New Glory of the Giants Backgrounds and Feats Breakdown
Today marks the release of Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants. It's a fun book with a lot of cool lore and some exciting new character options, so we started by digging into the new backgrounds and feats.

I feel like Glory of Giants is just too light on content to justify a purchase.
One subclass, two backgrounds, a bunch of feats. Is that really it? I know they are most busy with 1DnD, but considering how that's shaping out to be, I'm not really confident about the future of DnD.
WOTC has been phoning it in since Tasha's. I'm so glad I switched to PF2e at the beginning of this year. Paizo treats their community well and releases tons of really good content, not these massive fluff books with only one or two new bits of crunch. They also don't shy away from bigger content releases like entirely new classes.
I bought the big PF2 bundle during the OGL controversy and I really liked what I was looking at. Unfortunately my party isn't really thrilled about changing system, so I'm stuck with dnd for the foreseeable future :/
You could start dropping hints about cool stuff in PF2 into your DnD game as house rules. Things like hero points, combat skill actions (demoralize, feint, etc.), and the 4 degrees of success (with differentials of 10 or more and nat 20/1) are fairly easy to incorporate into 5e. Then, once they are in love with all the cool house rules you've introduced you can be like "oh BTW those are just the tip of the iceberg of cool stuff in PF2"
