Break the shackles of "traditional D&D" and run Orcs the way YOU want to! No. I want to run them as mostly Evil monsters compelled by Gruumsh.

Roleplaying as an orc

Amr Ammourazz @ammourazz · Apr 26 The language used here is that language. Orcs, sentient beings, can be "domesticated." They have an underlying, inherent rage and blood lust that's just part of their biology. This is harmful because of the real world parallels to a ton of racist tropes. ROLEPLAYING AN ORC Most orcs have been indoctrinated into a life of destruc- tion and slaughter. But unlike creatures who by their very nature are evil, such as gnolls, it's possible that an ore, if raised outside its culture, could develop a limited capacity for empathy, love, and compassion. No matter how domesticated an orc might seem, its blood lust flows just beneath the surface. With its instinctive love of battle and its desire to prove its strength, an orc trying to live within the confines of civi- lization is faced with a difficult task. 54 23 81 1.2K Amr Ammourazz @ammourazz · Apr 26 Step 4: An illustration of the limitations of this trope Ajey's thread expertly breaks down both mechanically and narratively how this lessens your gameplay experience AND why it perpetuates harmful racial stereotypes.

This second article

Amr Ammourazz @ammourazz · Apr 26 Replying to @ammourazz This second article recognizes its enough of a racial issue to have hired a PoC consultant to help on it.

@videodante tweet

dante @videodante the problem with D&D Orc racial classification is not that orcs were necessarily designed to resemble black and/or poc cultures, but that the ideology of "this group of sentient beings is unable to overcome the inherent animal nature of their bloodline" is the same as irl racism 2:24 PM · Apr 26, 2020 · Twitter for Android

"Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth."

Twitter users: JRR Tolkien wrote orcs to resemble black people because he was a racist Tolkien, who wrote a letter to the Nazis telling them their racism and bigotry made him ashamed of being a German: Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth.

This is why I go to /tg/ for RPG plot ideas. There are people there who are truly passionate about the game and not just treating this as a platform for their channel, book, podcast, karma count. Just people obsessed with the most unimportant things to try and find a better solution.

Also the frilly armor threads. That's also why I go there.
