In Moria, the orcs beheaded Thror, hacked up his body, then fed him to crows. Literal quote from The Great Goblin in Goblin Town: “Murderers and elf-friends! Slash them! Beat them! Bite them! Gnash them! Take them away to dark holes full of snakes, and never let them see the light again!” Orcs of the Misty Mountains were the ones who kidnapped Celebrian (Elrond's wife), tormenting and poisoning her. The orcs in Gundabad reside there because they brutally forced the Dwarves out. And don't get me started on all the orc brutality and evil deeds of the First Age. Orcs are altogether evil.
Their history and actions make it high unlikely for them to be good, not impossible. Orcs are NOT one dimensional. They lost their minds without a leader. They are still capable of rational thought and speech. Goblin Town? Moria? No sauron there. Gundabad too.

Magic is fundamentally the breaking of natural laws. Orcs are born of magic. Their existence is, in itself, a breaking of nature. They are a perversion by definition. Loving poison makes you evil.
[NEWS] “Marnûkh is a character meant to challenge long-held perceptions of Orcs. He’s such a departure from past depictions that within the production, Marnûkh has picked up the catchy nickname, “the Orc with an arc.” #TheRingsOfPower

Maybe I'll write an adventure about setting the world in fire so I can say my adventure set the world on fire.

This company is absolutely nailing it and yet... It's tough out there. Even for companies not bent on self-destruction.

Cyperpunk Edgerunners first season is easily one the best narrative adaptations of an RPG setting I've ever seen. It leverages the source material to tell a compelling story with love and respect for the property.

Got to run Villago again this weekend ahead of the launch on Tuesday. I've had the adventure up on blocks over the last day streamlining and rebuilding. I'm very excited about what I'm going to be delivering. kickstarter.com/projects/and…

Everybody loves "rulings not rules" until it's a ruling against them...

"Media Literacy" is 100 layers of stupid wrapped around "authorial intent".

Early Bioware games were where tabletop and computer RPGs really became two very different things.

I consulted with them back in the late 2000s when they were still the classic version of the studio that was committed to innovation and quality content. What's happened since then has been absolutely tragic. Anthem was truly the beginning of their end.

The Greek Chorus has been around for millennia. Almost as long as theater itself.
We need this for the Office... for when someone hits REPLY ALL instead of just Reply.

Great OSR adventure designs use mystery, discovery, exploration, and revelation to build connections around a central idea which reveals itself in a climactic battle or desperate escape.
