Neat !
however “Killing” as a descriptor for Orcish Nature may lead to some reaching…
“Murdering” may do ?

Murderous?

Nice Nature questions! I think the Orc Den is a bit on the nose, though. I think in order to work, we’d have to make a range of monster origin locations so as to give some depth to the choices.

Black Pits, Craggy Mountains, Foetid Swamps, Wastes and Moors, Brooding Forest, etc.

Yeah, I’m thinking of the Orc was one extra in addition to Elves, Dwarves, etc. If you made a bunch of monster classes a bunch of new locations would be great.

In my ideal world orcs would be playable and halflings wouldn’t exist.

Stay cool :cool:
