Game Summary

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. And it isn't your father's RPG.

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.

1 + 3C.W.Richeson. If you're looking for a beer and pretzels RPG filled with backstabbing, nasty behavior, and clever dice mechanics then check out ORX.

2 / 10Zachary The First"Fresh and exciting"? Unfortunately, no. Poor writing, and overall, a poorly executed game.
