What is Great Ork Gods anyway? Great Ork Gods is a pen-and-paper roleplaying game, played in a shared imaginary world by a few friends round a table. You probably knew that already, if you didn't it might be an idea to find another roleplaying game and try that first - Great Ork Gods is not intended as a introductory game. What make Great Ork Gods special? Great Ork Gods takes many of the standard ideas of roleplaying games and turns them on their head. Instead of the stats of your character sheet representing how good you are at stuff; they represent how bad you are at stuff. Instead of the GM choosing how hard things are to do; the players choose how hard things are to do. Instead of being expected to stick together and help each other out all the time; you're expected to do your own thing and backstab your pals if it suits you (or if it's funny). Great Ork Gods is designed to be played by three to five players and a GM for a single evening over a few beers and some pretzels. You'll spend time having fun and then go home. There's no intention of anyone ever playing a campaign with it, there's no levels, no xp, and no character advancement - hell, I'd be impressed if your character lives out the session. Introducing the Great Ork Gods There are seven Great Ork Gods, and they hate their children - each in it's own way. If it weren't for the Great Ork Gods, the Orks would rule the world - they're tough, strong, savage and they breed like rabbits. But everytime an Ork does something there's a decent chance the God in question will stick the boot in and mess things up for the Ork in question. The Gods are:
In Great Ork Gods, the players not only control an Ork but also one or more of the Gods. As a God they get to craft the destiny of the other players by deciding how hard task in their domain(s) are, and (if they're feeling evil) by spending Spite to put that extra bit of a boot in. But, be careful, because the best way to gain that Spite in the first place is by letting the other Orks win. Sounds fantastic! Tell me more! At least that's what I'm hoping your thinking. If you are, you'll just have to wait, the long awaited final release will be with you shortly. |
