Description:

ORX is the role-playing game about...orcs. Oh no, not another game about the most over-used bad-guy in all fantasy! Yep. But this isn’t your typical "let’s play the bad guys who aren’t so bad" or "hey, look, a detailed non-human culture" game. Heck no, this is about getting down, dirty and humorously nasty. ORX aims to please both the casual player interested in tactics and gaming and the hardcore storyteller who loves to write novels based on his character's experiences. The game supports a range of style from dark-and-gritty to light-and-humorous, depending on the group's whim, and with no changes to the mechanics in order to play either. ORX features an innovative system aimed at making play fun -- even while your orcs get beaten, maimed, and squished -- while staying true to the idea of what orcs are and how they go about doing things; resolution is quick and intuitive, but still provides tactical options to the players, keeping the game fresh and exciting on both story and mechanical fronts.
