Why are you not making all of your orcs not-Maoris?

Because the ersatz-Maori cultures in my setting are island dwarfs.

>having only one culture for an intelligent species
so this is what the barrel bottom looks like

Because that's how I like my warforged.

Because my orcs are basically Amish people.

Because my orcs are slav.

I said flavor, you retard. Not base their entire existence on this culture.

If you wanna have all of the above, plains Orcs being noble warriors with alcohol issues. Desert orcs with a tendency to blow up. Snow Orcs who are secretly furries.

Go nuts, it's your setting.

Just use Islander Orcs more because they even come with their own warcries in case you wanna make a bard.

Okay; next topic.

> ripping indians to make Elfs

Not using african tribes as not-Elfs. They're reclusive, probably self-destructive and stick to ancient ways even though they shouldn't.

Please explain.

Slavs are already orcs, but only if we're talking about WH40K Orks.

You are like a little baby.
Watch this.

Go back to fucking your child wife.

It works on both "cultures" that seem to have triggered you, so!

I loved the movies so much.

> being this butthurt over people mocking your sea-nigger shitbath culture

Because orcs are supposed to be evil.

Because not even the Maori give a shit about Maori culture.

But why are you not doing [thing]?

Not Maori, mate. If anything, I think it'd be rude to make them into rapist greenskins, but who cares.

True.

I originally meant to make this a decent, polite thread about multi-ethnicity under fantasy races. But this is Veeky Forums and that'd be polbait.

I base my orcs on Tasmanian devils.

Because Orcs are bast on ww1 solders.

Why is your post

spaced

like

this

maoris are my sharkmen

I just read his post imagining it was numerous separate anons' posts

Don't bully me, I was typing on phone so I kept thinking it'd look like a giant wall of text because that's how it looked on my phone.

Elves are supposed to be sophisticated, you can't make them dindus.

Okay, amish might be an extreme word, especially with it being a renaissance-esque setting, but Orc "races" (orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, trolls, and ogres) as a general whole, disdain from larger societal structures.

They are the younger race and watch elves, dwarves, humans, and their ilk stumble about, managing bureaucracies, dealing with political games, struggling with censuses and do not understand how that helps a society as a whole.

Thus, orc-races tend to live in small, self-sufficient communities with an unspoken soft-cap on their population which have decidedly socialistic/communal bend.

But don't expect 'people's revolutions' in the near future since they expressly keep small to avoid that and remain 'socially maneuverable'.

There are variations within this model, for example ogres and trolls often live in singular family units at largest in the northern reaches. Some orc communities live as nomadic tribes or small flotilla. Hobgoblins, in general, are notorious for favoring stealing shit from others and conning people, which leads them to clash with goblins who are often settled, small agrarian people.

This guy gets it.
I'm super tempted to run a session with warforged elemental spell-sword characters just to see how long it takes my mates to realise what is going on.

I'm gonna steal that idea user

>Why are you not making all of your orcs not-Maoris?

Because my Orcs are varying flavors of Australian and like, the worst British imperialists.

My CYCLOPES on the other hand are a mix of Polynesian and Mediterranean cultures.

Because Maori culture gets in the way of progress as it is.

One of the papers for a masters in science here in NZ involves learning about the water spirits (not the taniwha). Basically, the local tribes will insist an engineer be hired to look at a body of water to help determine the health of the spirit there (and I mean just look, not run tests or anything for this particular aspect). The water will also be tested for "chemicals" despite the fact that water itself is a chemical.
If only I could remember the name of the report that documents this nonsense. It's about 40 pages long.

Because I use all austronesians as a basis for an amphibian race.

And my orcs have literally no culture.

Is this another thread about Blizzard?

For starters, this is not an original concept in the slightest.

Second, Maori """culture""" is fucking retarded and boring. At least Muzzie Orcs make for a good villain.

>And my orcs have literally no culture.
Then Maori would be a perfect template.

Why are /pol/tards triggered by Maoris?

Why do you assume everything is /pol/?

I dunno, it always seems to be /pol/tard types sperging out about tribals being subhuman if someone talk about them in a neutral or positive way.
Probably the ones who would complain about dindus in a indian mythology thread.

not-Maoris are Goblins/Hobgoblins.

I prefer my orcs to be bushido. To clarify, not weebshit, but reflecting the banditry of samurai clans, the aesthetic of japanese armor and those back banners, curved swords, and shoguns.

>they're not weaboos!
>they're ADVANCED weaboos!

>I originally meant to make this a decent, polite thread about multi-ethnicity under fantasy races.

Riiiight.

Weaboos/Weebshit doesn't means everything japanase is bad.

>I originally meant to make this a decent, polite thread about multi-ethnicity under fantasy races.
>LOLOLOL EVERYONE WHO HAS DIFFERENT IDEAS THAN ME SUX BTW SANDNIGGERS XDDDDD
U wot m8

Samefag and salty?

Last time I made a thread about multiple ethnicities under the larger fantasy races, the thread started nice enough but it was quickly derailed by polposters like yourself.

But here are your yous; user.

Because orks are a disgusting shade of green and don't deserve anything nice.

If you've played a half-orc character, how do they feel about their Orcish heritage?

Are they proud of it? Do they hate themselves for it? Do they just wish people would stop asking? How much or how little do they care?

I haven't had the opportunity to play this character but they'd be more ashamed of both their parents being bloodthirsty, marauding barbarians than they are of one of their parents being an orc.

I have a half-orc Bard and he thinks pretty much just like . Mom was a Barbarian, Dad was an Orc. They met in the battlefield, fighting on the same side.

The son grew up with them in their adventures, and he was more interested in the books they found and legends his parents told than in learning how to fight much to their horror.

Once he was of age, the kid simply set off on his own adventure away from the bloodthirsty psychos he had for parents. It's not like he hates them, he just doesn't understand how he could come from those two weirdos. (I still play him very violent. )

It's weird to realize to outsiders that the dislike of Maoritanga prevalent among white new zealanders looks like /pol/ to outsiders. It's not, we hated them and their bullshit years before /pol/ was a thing.

Stealing that. Gonna have Orcs all be Ronin groups at war with eachother.

Well keep that shit to yourself.

I dunno, maybe they are legit annoying (even if that's probably just "WHOAAH THEY DON'T WANT TO LET US DO STUFF ON THEIR LANDS JUST SO CORPORATIONS CAN GET A BIT MORE MONEY) but that's not the point of these threads.

Next topic.

Elves. What's your flavor of elf?

Purple, dead, non-elves.

Outdoorsy elves are brown, high elves and dark elves are pale. All sometimes have unnatural-for-humans hair colors.

This.

>Elves. What's your flavor of elf?

Japanese, Westaboo, Moon Elves, Id est: Japanese culturally inspired Elves whom come from the Moon and have a compulsive obsession with anything down from the planet the satellite.

Bonus points for being oblivious tourists.

Milk Chocolate

New zealander here. Maori culture isn't even really a thing anymore, all maoris just act like american blacks now. Not exaggerating or kidding in the slightest.

Because orcs are clearly Mongolian.

>Maoris
Maori is singular and plural

How's things down in Buttfuck Otago, Trev?

Because, orcs can't swim very well.

Imagine.
Imperialist Orcs who dress up like conquistadors with access to the world's only (very crude) firearms.
All united under one banner.

Well the other thread seems to be going well but this one has all the classics

>OP treating Maoritanga like a pick-and-mix display at a supermarket based on stuff like the haka and moko and five minutes on Wikipedia
>/pol/tards who hate anything that isn't white
>our local rednecks with their deep resentment of all things Maori and their insistence you hear all about it

Imagine.
Veeky Forums not regurgitating the same tired old """novel""" ideas.

>having orcs
Reminder to all """worldbuilders"""" who just play trope selection 1954-1955 to just use forgotten realms or consider having ideas

Well everything has been done somewhere before so I suppose the only option is to kill yourself

My not-elves are typically very maori in nature. Anamistic and ancestor worship, light cannibalism. Bit of tropical Inuit because of their whaling. I took the elf part and have that be in their careful cultivation of hundreds of strange and exotic fruits that they see constantly perfecting and making new ones.

I got my player into it by sending him a video of a haka. He then learned a few simple ones that he calls out before a big battle. Whip the party up in character and out of character.

How about you fuck right off?

Because obviously that role better fits goliaths.

God damnit Tikko

>not basing your orcs off of literal apes with weapons.

Because my elves are not-Maoris

My Orcs are Italian Americans.

Because my special origanale donut orcs are actually dwarves.

Orcs are a non-existent boggyeman that farmers use to explain bandit raids during the night.
