You may not like it, but Warcraft is a viable campaign setting with printed rules and a robust body of supplemental material.
Greyhawk
Viable, but not good. The books have some good ideas in them, but they are mostly shit (can I say CR 50 Lich King?), and let me remind you that they are based on 3.5.
Viable? Yes. Good? No.
Warcraft is absolute garbage. Only idiots who sank hundreds of hours into the shitty MMO still feel anything for that wreck of a mindless setting.
>Arthas was good, became brainwashed and evil (just like Kerrigan)
>Orcs dindu nuffin and were corrupted (just like zerg)

Fuck off metzen.
Also, space goat enthusiasts.
WoW RPG books had this strange, bizarre bias against "ugly" races and love for beautiful ones. Like, take a look at this.
>elves are violent racists
And this seems unusual to you?
Yes, it does, since it also paints them as the good guys. Like, I understand hatred of trolls, since most of the tribes are pretty bad, but Darkspear are literally their allies.
Arthas was not even slightly close to the characterisation of Kerrigan. One got slowly broken down to a vengeful wreck that was focused on only one thing and subsequently sacrificed his soul and autonomy for it. The other was a slightly special woman that was put in a pod and turned evil.
Orcs haven't been evil since the most popular game in the franchise. I love Warcraft 1 and 2 but they were largely irrelevant compared to the third one and even in it, there are still plenty of orcs who are shown to be assholes. The whole point of the game was meant to be 'anyone can be a dickhead, no matter who they are'. Good job for missing that "extremely subtle" writing.
What tickles me is there are plenty of examples you could have compared one or the other two in fiction that might have supported your point but you chose to compare the two that had the least in common character-wise. Good job you twat.
