I like a mix to be honest since both sides have really interesting traits.


My ideal Orcs I've been using so far:
-Big, heavy built humanoids, usually as tall as humans
-Have brown, red, to black skin.
-Have boar like tusks, floppy ears, with "jowels" and bulldog like faces.
-Live in larger clans, sometimes even able to build cities, can build with stone and brick
-Industrious and crafty with a better grasp of mechanisms and devices
-Usually independent and under the leadership of an Orc or Ogre
-More likely to wear armor, generally fully clothed
-Can fight in disciplined formations and use complex tactics.

I prefer a mix of the Warcraft Underbite orc from growing up playing warcraft 2-3 with a mix of Bull dog thrown in there, like, mostly with the ears and the jowls. Especially when they get older.

I also think the 'best' orc skin colours are: Black, Red, and Brown and any variation of tone or shade bleeding into those colours is fine.

Black Orc bump.

Yes.
Thank you.

Still though. STILL.

Why Giant?

Dear /tg/,

What is your favorite colour of Orc?

>Orcs don't wear shoes

Way back when I my setting the precursors to the orcs and elves existed as a firm military dictatorship and followed a monotheistic religion that revered a god of military discipline.

The future elves split off first, because they decided they liked magic more than gods, and the nation fought a war against them. It was during this was that a powerful agent for the government decided he was through with the dictatorship. They clearly gave zero shits about the lives of the soldiers, so he lead a rebellion and then exodus to find a land where the soldier is respected and not used like a tool.

tl;dr Orks are Zanzibar Land

Humans forget about black vs white vs red vs yellow when there are greenskins about.

A hero enters a cave inhabited by an evil orc warriror.

The hero quickly disarms the creature, and its axe falls to the floor. The hero then turns to deal with other matters, ignoring the wounded orc.

How was the hero certain that the orc would not simply retrieve its weapon and attack him from behind?

In D&D-terms, they're involuntarily supporting an uprising of Orks against an asshole Empire.

Your party finds, in a small farming village, a trial taking place. An Orc has been caught rutting with a farmgirl in one of her vegetable patches, and is accused of rape. The girl claims it was consensual, but other villagers claim that she's simply too terrified to testify against the creature, despite the threat of decapitation if it's proven guilty. What do you do?

:>half-orc
Are all half-orcs the product of rape or are humans actually going around fucking orcs?
And which would be worse?

Imagination from the Other Side

classic

looks green to me

I like orcs the way they are in LotR and D&D. Evil, black-skinned, marauding, barbaric, evil creatures. Maybe an orc 'nation' of some sort but generally just smaller tribes that cause problems for local humans.

Warcraft orcs, and even Warhammer orcs, are a bit too organised and militaristic for my tastes. They're cool but not what I'd want in my ideal fantasy world. Orcs are monsters, not a race. (I hope that made sense..)

I like warcraft trolls a lot, especially since trolls in most fantasy fill the same niche as ogres. Big, scary, rawr. Having that separation is cool.

Everquest made trolls too civilised (by giving them towns and even a small city) while retaining their stupid/simplistic traits. It sort of contradicted itself, imo. They were still cool, but I think Warcraft trolls trump all because they're an entirely different and 'new' take on an old classic, with the voodoo jamaca type twist. Their goblins are similar.

Why are orcs CR 1/2? Those falchions really fuck up shit for anyone.
