Transcription:

A picture of a skinny female orc with the side of her head shaved. She wears an armless red dress and a black shawl, as well as matching red bracelets and a black choker with a gold heart at the front.

At the top of the image is the text "You may not like it, but this is what" in large bubble font

At the bottom of the image is a screenshot from the new D&D changelog, reading "• Orcs no longer have the Powerful Build feature."

And below that, the text "Peak 2024 D&D orc performance looks like" continues the bubble font from the top.

So, they’re like a different green version of an elf now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

More like a taller version of a goblin

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Tall Goblin is called a Verdan.

A picture of a skinny female orc ...

If I'd seen the pic without text, I'd have assumed it's a femboy orc. Which I'd also find funnier since the morphology of female orcs already varies a lot depending on the artist's tastes and intentions whereas male orcs are more consistently depicted with a strong build.

My money is on femboy orc as well. Unless she's wearing a super tight binder or something, that looks like visible pecs rather than cleavage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My money is nowhere and I just 'want' it to be a femboy orc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My money is lost, has anyone seen it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

There's a thief on the lose, suspect n°1 is a femboy orc!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Good guess. That appears to be a character by Dross named Onyx, who is male.

Tags include "1 male" and "orc femboy"

Myth confirmed

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Um, actually, this is not a "bubble font". The font used in this meme is called "Impact", and it's commonly bundled with MS Office. ☝️🤓

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

....... there boutta be an explosion in the population of half-orcs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Inconvenience by snu-snu.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Has anyone seen the bard?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

He'll be in momentarily, hey hey.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

…well, no: sixth-edition core rules no longer support half-races, something-something-against-racism?..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The solution to racism is not to let them breed together? 😕

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We will cure racism through genetic purity!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

...to be explicitly clear: i believe that we're all sarcastically mocking WotC's editorial choice to eliminate half-breeds from the core rules in order to combat real-world racism...

(i wouldn't be surprised to see mixed races included as an advanced option in the new dungeon master's guide, though)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Iirc it's more of a lexical change: until now, half-something automatically assumed the other half was human, making the human race central in the setting. To allow for more liberty, most (all?) humanoid species will become interbreedable and you can choose the traits from one ancestry or the other.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

so what Pathfinder does?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

In Pathfinder 2e I think Half-Elf, half-Orc, and their equivalent of Tiefling and Aasimar are variants you can apply to other species.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

The spoiler description says the orc is female but it's dross' Onyx, it's a male twink orc not a female

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was going to say "misgendering is bad" then I realised its a bisexual joke >.>

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Joking about my sexuality and self deprecating humor...it's all I got

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

pat pat

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that twink a Goblin, tho?

Also, I'm ok with this, helps diffirentiate them from Goliaths. And Orcs were never potrayed as Goliath-sized.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that twink a Goblin, tho?

...No, it's too easy...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

we love an easy twink, especially one who's a' Goblin

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've always been joking about playing an "orc poet" in Shadowrun as a way to do something totally sub optimal :) TIL that you can also play orc in D&D. And cute orcs can definitely change the world building

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Playing smart or charismatic orcs is totally fine in Shadowrun, it's not that suboptimal. You have to spend a bit more karma at the start to overcome the lower starting charisma, but it's not bad at all.

The fucks wrong with the hands? Is this ai generated?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Nah this is hands drawn correctly but not well, AI draws hands well but incorrectly.
(relatively speaking, its still hands drawn better than I can)

Edit: Then again the ears are odd and the black thing vanishing under the clothes is confusing. Normally AI can't understand that objects going behind another object have to come out the other side and this passes that test but it also just looks weird in a way a human wouldn't do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Count the Fingers

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not all races have 5 fingers?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Do orcs? The thumbs aren't looking great either, the righthand nail bleeds over and the lefthand thumb appears to point downwards.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not a player nor a DM, so correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it basically photoshop human now? Grab a human, shift colors until skin is green...orc? :|

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yes it is. It’s like they wanted to do what PF2.0 did with Ancestries but also do a really shitty job of it. It’s fine though; 3.5e, 5e, PF1.0, and PF2.0 are all still out there for anyone who wants to run better systems that are still “DND.”

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I wish the DnD/roleplaying community wasn't as hopelessly horny as it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This community is a bit like a teenager: moody, a bit horny, is better with animals.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I resent that remark!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Better add resentful to the list as well

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

*resemble

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

DM: ... and of course Druids can learn Wild Shape, which allows them to transform into a beast that...

Player: STOP. I want to play that one. A druin or whatever.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Tbh I agree that "horny bard fuck dragon" memes are tiring. But I actually didn't read this meme as horny. I thought it was just "hey, you expect your orc to be buff and muscly, but NO! She lithe and slim!" Basically just poking fun at WotC for removing a feature called "powerful build".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That's a femboy, friend

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

... she?
