[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 7619324, member: 1013"] [COLOR=#CCCCCC][FONT=Verdana]So in D&D games do people actually encounter and slaughter humanoid tribes that were just living a peaceful existence? I think every orc group I've ran into in D&D over the years was actively raiding the human civilizations around them, pillaging, marauding, or started things off by attacking the party. [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#CCCCCC][FONT=Verdana]That's why we went to pacify them. Granted as a DM I've never included a peaceful tribe of hobgoblins, they don't really exist in the game world and I'm not really aiming to examine moral quandaries. Though maybe in a way I am without trying to. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#CCCCCC][FONT=Verdana]While all the species are fairly expansionist outside of hobbits and gnomes, the orcs and such are quite aggressively and violently so, unwilling to live in co-existence and driven by a will to dominate all life around them. Despite playing D&D since the early 80's never played B2 for some reason. I probably missed out. [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
