Create a variety of orcish and goblin customs and attitudes, identities and roles. Give those different cultures different attributes, abilities, and identities. Put Elves and Dwarves and Gnomes and Halflings and Humans all in the same "Poor District" of town. Definitely predominantly Orcish/Goblinoid, but engage with other cultural expectations, and have hybridization of cultural identities and races. And for the "Orcsploitation" aspect: Have the well-off characters ignore those differences and nuances. 2) Watch "Get Out". I'm sure you've seen a few Blaxploitation films by your posts and interests. But watch this film. Watch the -coding- that comes into play. The casual, even apologetic, nature of upper crust white folks trying not to upset the black guy in the room. Watch the discomfort their pussyfooting causes as they try to backpedal over mistakes and wind up just stepping right on the freshly opened wounds.That'll help you create a more true to life level of quiet discomfort at the table as you peel back the layers of cultural oppression through a game!</blockquote>
