I guess I'll have to write about how gay orc communism is an actual thing in my DnD campaing #dnd5e #ttrpg

So. My friends and I were supposed to play @gshowitt 's Big
Gay Orcs. It didn't actually happen, but when I announced the one shot that became my campaign, one of the players decided to bring in his bardbarian idea from there. Meet Grogsgar Dickgobbler.

In @tiredsolidpoodl's words
"VERY orcish hulk, that looks like he was dressed by Mollymauk, Elton John and other fabulous figures, with limitless funds, creativity and no restrictions." 3m tall orog with jeweled tusks and Ashly Burch haircut. Probably the best person in the party

When they went hunting a Fang of Yeenoghu with some soldier pals, he mentioned that everybody is gay where he comes from and this got my gears spinning. He said they're called the THREE BALLS TRIBE, because its legendary founder Zotrol Hungrybutt reportedly hard a third testicle.

I went to @tiredsolidpoodl and we built it as one of two tribes of orcs and orc adjacent peoples. One all dues, the other all ladies, nearly every single one of them homosexual. The tribes get together to determine who reproduces with who through a process called SHOW OF MIGHT, +

which is sort of an Olympics with more fighting, organized to ensure mighty offspring for the glory of the Three Balls and Tuatly Curs (I don't remember why the fuck @tiredsolidpoodl wanted this name for the lady tribe, but there ya go) and Gruumsh, off course.

how well the breeding contestants do determines who they get to make babies with. Grogsgar himself is the progeny of Knut The Tunneler, leader of the Three Balls, and Yrsa Thunderthighs, second in comand of the Curs leader Morkalla Wetgroin.

These children are raised communally, tho they get to know who their parents are. Other than for making and raising children, the tribes only get together to cooperate in warfare. And they're fucking FIERCE. Theocratic govt. of the land leaves them alone, since they don't preach.

jobs are assigned based on skill and personal tastes, and everybody is taken care of in terms of needs. The tribes do send off some warriors to serve as mercenaries and monster hunters, and some of them leave to seek their fortune but are expected to eventually contribute to the+

Wellfare of the tribe by serving when summoned. Grogsgar himself was summoned to serve as the one who records the tale of the Show of Might in song, since previous tribe bard and lorekeeper Knarvik Nippleflick died in a hunting accident.

He was summoned by a duo of messengers from the two tribes: Aslaug Fluttertongue and Rogga Rosebud, and is eager to meet his lover Trongar The Swallower (responsible for one of the mostemotional moments in the first adventure) and fulfill his duty.

I have a whole thing planned for when the players get there (they get on the road next session already). @globerton_ will join as Krottnar The Trombonist for a spell. Hype.

and YES, EVERYBODY HAS A FLAMBOYANT/CRASS TITLE because it's fun
