Cool! Can't wait for it to arrive.

Here is a quick overview of the chapters that you will find in Orcs: Legacy of Blood. I’m pulling this all from memory so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Aggression: An Overview of the Orcish Lifestyle – by Bret Boyd
This chapters covers the life of an orc from birth to death. Highlights include birth and childhood, tribal structure, roles for non-combatants and death.

Fierce Devotion, Bloody Faith – by Joseph Carriker
In this section the differences and rivalries between ancestor worshiping shamans and divine clerics are examined. 5 new orcish gods are covered.

Crafts of the Spirits – by Joseph Carriker
Orcish magic items! Totem sticks, Cauldron of Blood and an axe that is the bane of those wielding divine power, just to name a few.

Craft and Cunning: The Power of Totem – by Ben Mathiesen
Here you will find details on the role of totem animals in orcish culture. There are a few totem and familiar feats introduced.

Gifts of the Spirits – Boyd/Carriker/Mathiesen
This chapter contains many new spells of orcish origin. Carrion Curse and Watchful skulls spring to mind.

An Orc’s Guide to Looting and Survival – by Wil Upchurch
Combat tactics, hordecraft and orcish war dogs are covered in this chapter.

Struggle for Succession – by Brannon Hollingsworth
This chapter starts with a short fiction piece that returns to the story of The Orcs of Black Tusk (introduced in Gaming Frontiers Vol 2 - The Forsaken of Glimm). Five characters from the story are detailed using material from previous chapters.

If it wasn't so chilly out, I'd wait by the mailbox for it to arrive.

The information on the orcs sounds like one I'll be reading more than once.

Actually, his REAL name is spelled Meejhthhaooogkkfffasrrattppphhbbtt, but THAT is just too darn hard to spell.........




And, it is really hard to call him -just think of the answering machine message!
