D&D 4E 1/2 Orcs in 4E (Rich Baker scoop)

[The Ubbergeek]

Okay, so while they were tastefully and flavourfully spinning, couldn't they have at least spun out a different name for the chaps?

And so, why not for the dwarves of D&D by example, the race who stayed the closest to tolkien's ideas?

Because dwarves, as I said earlier, have a historical and mythological precedent.

…But are they not now called stunties…?

Do they really are close to historical and mythological bases? For one example, the mythological dwarves LOVED magic, as far I know.

And dwarves can have a romantic relationship with magic as of 3rd Ed (before if you house-ruled).

Grognards didn't like that bit and I heard a few houseruled that dwarves just can't do the arcane.

Yeah, I heard that – whatever gets you through the D&D day.

Got to go home now – nice chatting with you Ubbergeek, I like your style.

Use better judgment next time, please.

I know quite a few real world humans who would count themselves be lucky if they could score with an orc...

Heres a refresher image for how the orc and half orc is supposed to look.

Second issue I haven't seen mentioned...the biggest fantasy among women is rape.

You know, I am in no way surprised that this hobby has a hard time attracting new people. Not at all.
