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.

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

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

I resent that remark!

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

*resemble

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 12 points 2 years ago

Better add resentful to the list as well

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".

... she?

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 2 years ago

That's a femboy, friend

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Y'all might be hopelessly horny, but I'm very hopefully horny. I know how to dance.

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.

[–] BakedGoods@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

I wish everything was more horny.

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

[–] Maultasche@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Has anyone seen the bard?

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

[the bard IS the orc and he's getting rizzed by the whole tavern]

XD

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

He'll be in momentarily, hey hey.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

Inconvenience by snu-snu.

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

More like a taller version of a goblin

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

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years 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.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah the PHB for D&D 5th edition only had half-orcs as a playable race, but they added a full orc race with the 2016 Volo's Guide to Monsters. idk about the 5e remaster though because I haven't played or been interested in following the news of D&D since about mid 2022. I just found this meme on !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone and thought it belonged here!

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 19 points 2 years 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. ☝️🤓

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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

[–] boringbisexual@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So?

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

smash

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years 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? :|

[–] TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.network 5 points 2 years 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.

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