With the rift in the rear view, Russell and Jeramy trade their explorers’ hats for gladiator helmets in the final part of G2: The Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl. Grugnur’s hall might look like a page right out of Architectural Digest with its cold color theming and meticulously styled trophy rooms, but behind the design panache lies a frozen murder factory unlike anything the vaunted G series has offered before. The guys tangle with a seemingly never-ending supply of giants (and boulders) enroute to face the lord and lady of the house who are locked, loaded, and ready to defend their secrets… or escape via emergency fast food playground slide, whatever works.

The frozen fun continues in part 2 as Russell and Jeramy dive deeper into the titular Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl and they aren’t the only ones! A bevy of ogres and giants chill out while hoping to hang with the Jarl provide a rainbow coalition of bad guys as the boys push ever closer to the icy lair of the Jarl himself. But it turns out humanoids are the least of their worries, as death comes in many forms: heat hungry mold, icy puddings, an overgrown death centipede, and what very well may be the very first official dragon sighting in Dungeons & Dragons. That’s assuming the party sees the dragons before they’re lunch.

Zip up your parka and strap on your snowshoes because the giants are back and this time… they’re frozen. Russell and Jeramy continue the legendary G series with G2: Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl! Gary Gygax’s 1978 frozen fortress crawl has everything you’d expect from a deadly winter wonderland: frost giants, yetis, winter wolves, and enough icy environmental hazards to make summitting Everest naked seem relaxing. Along the way, they discover that every problem in the frozen north can be solved with a really big rock and, sometimes, the actual treasure really is the friends you made along the way… mostly because the wizard just accidentally destroyed the real treasure with a fireball.
