Dawn of the Orcs - Intro

We are sages, wizards, scholars, geniuses, charlatans, and assorted other meddlers. Our nation faces destruction at the hands of an overwhelming foe.

To save our homeland, we have put our occult learning, secret arts, and esoteric skills to use to build an army of new soldiers, who we call the ORCS.

Each battle of the war buys us time to improve and modify our Orcs. Can we repel the invaders with a combination of sorcery and strategy? What will we have created when the fighting is over?

Dawn of the Orcs is a GMless dark fantasy game for 1-8 players. Players take the role of a powerful Council of Sages creating the first Orcs to win a war of survival. It includes both collaborative world-building and strategic decision making. Dawn of the Orcs is friendly to new players but will give even jaded veterans a new experience.

We play the game over 8 chapters.

In the first chapter we create our characters.

We'll have one thread per Chapter.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks for coming to play, @sonofirony. Once we can wrangle a few more wanna-be Orc-molders, we’ll get underway with Chapter 1. Holiday may slow things down a bit so we’ll see.

Thank you @jdoublep! I'm excited by this. No problem with the holidays, I'll be available when you're ready. Merry Christmas!

Welcome @DMB! Happy to be RP’ing with you outside of the B&B. I don’t expect it will be so cozy here in the Council of Sages, but who knows? Perhaps we’ll craft some cuddly little greenskins that are so adorable our enemies cannot help but become our friends.

Yes, the Care Bear equivalent of orcs! :D

Ok, got my character submitted. I had two concepts I liked but managed to narrow it down to the submitted one.

Approved and ready to watch Semiyon come to life.
