[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 8247871, member: 779"] So an idea for a campaign where all of the PCs are various types Goblinoids or Orcs, with Half-Orc being the only PHB race allowed. It would be mostly an urban setting that takes place in a large cosmopolitan Human city like Sharn from Eberron, with mixed with various races that tolerates, but not necessarily accepts Goblins and Orcs. Tolerated but not accepted, puts the Goblins and Orcs in their own neighbourhoods such as Goblin-Town or the Orc-District which happen to be some of the poorer parts of the city. Most of the residents go about their own lives, keeping to those places since they aren't as accepted in a Human-dominated part of town. However non-Goblins and non-Orcs feel those parts of town are more dangerous, in some cases they might be right as they're definitely are gangs of Goblins or Orcs that often run territory in those parts of town. In this city Goblins and Orcs do have a place in society, but are often the lower and working classes. Some of them do manage to become middle class, but mostly the Goblins and Orcs and the PCs would be of lower class backgrounds. As an urban campaign there's certainly going to be the element of fighting various sorts of gangs, whether the PCs join a criminal gang or work to take down a gang. Some of these gangs are of course on the lowest tier of a shadowy organization. The campaign could be of an "Orcsploitation" genre. The PCs are assumed to be from Goblin-town or the Orc-District too. They could be of backgrounds such as: an Orc that's a dockworker looking for more to do their lives, a Goblin house maid who's employed by a Human noble who's up to something, a Bugbear gangster divided on whether to climb the ranks or turn on the gang, or a Hobgoblin veteran who never quite fit in the nation's Human-dominated army.
