...but if you go on a HeroQuest, its JUST the right size for you. Remember, on the hero-plane/god-plane, we too are gods/spirits/essences/whatever.
You can look Yelmalio in the eye (albeit you have look up a little) and spit in it if you're brave. But if you observe the god/hero planes from outside (eg, looking at the Plateau of Statues or the top of Spiral Mountain, you find _gigantic_ buildings and frozen giants.
