Ork is Elvish for Human
Blog - Occult Apprentice » Devlog
That's something I've been toying with and planning on introducing in an upcoming game/campaign.
Basically, Ork is the word Elves use for us, humans. It's your choice if this means you remove the Orc/Half-Orc race as a player option from your game, or if you remove Humans altogether. Personally, I intend on going with the latter.
This idea came to me when I was thinking about how in a lot of games humans are boring because they're written from the point of view of a human. How would other races view us, though.

or, coming at it from the exact opposite direction, orcs are just muscle elves 🧐

hi! does your blog have an rss feed?
Good question, I did some digging but couldn't find if itch has a feed for posts. It seems not. There are for devlogs, but I mostly don't do those.
I came up with a way to get it working, I'll let you know here when it's ready.
Hi! I've set it up the blog as an itch project as a workaround. Here's the RSS: luvasgg.itch.io/blog/devlog.rss
awesome!
