How do you feel about pigmen?

How do you feel about pigmen?

Should they have stayed as Orcs (their concepts never diverging as brutal pigfaced/pignosed races)? How do you feel about the differences between pigmen across settings/universes?

Pigmen make pretty good savage beastfolk or warriors of a war god imho.

Orcs should never have diverged from Goblins.

I think you mean boarmen. Boarmen are territorial, Ill tempered, uncouth and violent savages

Pigmen are intelligent, cute, and just a little bit dirty.

Has anyone done a campaign about two rival clans of pork people duking it out while their party assists one of the clans against the other?

How do you feel about pigwomen?

Think Roseanne with tusks and a morning star.

Chunky/THICC moms ready to kill.

How about instead of that, it's two rival villages who are competing to see who can roast the best pig? The party must choose a side and gather ingredients from the surrounding area in order to make their pig the tastiest. They have exactly a week to gather the most succulent rare ingredients.

>gathering ingredients
>overhear village talks about rumors of a giant pig in the forests
>gather party to hunt down this pig
>find its cave
>it's actually a pig man who's been guarding the forests for centuries
>the dwarves wiped out his people with their stomachs

>Pigman asks the party to help crash the festival and rescue all of his domesticated pig brothers.
>Pigman morphs the quadruped pigs into other pigmen with deep magic
>Party and pigmen burn and loot the village and slaughter the peasants.
>Party is now part of pigmen war-band.
>Raid caravans and pillage on the daily

Bparmen in general are cool, Warcraft Quilboar in particular are neat since they're big (If you're in the south barrens, north barrens and especially Durotar/Mulgore qulboar were manlets (Piglets?)) porcine bastards with their own Thronvide focused magic and a reason to be insanely violent jerks that can be reversed at any time the story really needs it: They've got persistent insanity from the death-throes of their god.

Of course the big issue with Warcraft's boar people, they didn't realize that the largest tusks for boars root to the UPPER jaws. Blizzard's modelers attached ALL the tusks to the bottom jaw. (More like a Hippo really)

...And of course the first Blizzard model to FIX that was the Draenor boar which has possibly the worst animation skeleton in existence. They never did fix it for their boar PEOPLE since they haven't had new ones.

Farrow in Warmahordes are much better about that.

There is no universal law about it.

One of the players in our game is a big pigwoman of steadily increasing size and strength, and is basically the BBEG of the game now (the setting certainly, at least) now despite being a PC.

Darkest Dungeon made me realise how cool they were.

Yeah they are pretty cool in DD. Also I like that one of the associated bosses is John Carpenter's THE THING! The warrens is one of my favorite dungeons in the game.

Remind me never to play with your GM

Got that right. I want to crib the music on a loop for a combat in one of my games sometime.

This is so majestatically fluffy I would fucking chill with that all day long if there wasn't a good chance it would just fucking gore me like a wiener schnitzel at Oktoberfest.

Oink!

if they are like in your image, they are great!

if they are like in this one
then not so great.

what settings can you play as a pigman? Planescape?

What happen when a dwarf fucks a pig?
An Orc.

They're about the only thing keeping me interested in Warmahordes going into Mk3. Fucking pig cyborgs and shit
