Warcraft Racial Writeups for D&D 5e Cosmonaut 02/27/16 (Sat) 19:58:39 No.221985

Title kind of says it all, yeah? I'm hardly a huge expert on Warcraft lore, having basically left the game after The Frozen Throne gave way to World of Warcraft. Still, Warcrafts 1-3 were always a setting I loved, and, hell, even the Draenei were pretty interesting from what I heard of them.

So, I was wondering if any /tg/ anons would be willing to help a rookie out in brainstorming the racial stats that'd be needed for running a Warcraft based/set game under D&D 5e rules?

I do have the 3e and 3.5 official gamebooks for Warcraft, if that helps.

>Warcraft.

Its not 2008 anymore friend. Warcraft is for addicted over 40's who do nothing but play WoW as a lobby/chat client after work. Nobody considers wow anything but shameful anymore bro.

OP, we're being harsh, but it comes from a place of love. There are much better IPs to plagiarize from.

Warhammer Fantasy already has an RPG system.

There was a d20 Warcraft RPG, that's probably a good basis to start from, OP.

So modern warcraft rightfully getting shit on is a good thing but I can't be the only one that really likes the noble orc thing with the shamanism redemption arc. The horde used to have savagery still too before Metzen went overboard with green jesus.

There's some really neat stuff in the setting and I can't think if you made a campaign during or a little bit after the third war you could have something great.

I'd argue Thrall is green Moses rather than green Jesus.

Thrall is Metz' self-insert. Complete with his wife and daughter. And his shitty beard as of late.

Fuck do I hate the character. It was alright in WC3, but Frozen Throne and on, Thrall can do no wrong full stop.

You know what would have made the character interesting?

If his live and let live attitude ran counter to reality and pragmatism.

Nigger builds an urban center in the middle of a region literally named The Barrens. That was previously inhabited by nomadic tribes.

Imagine if halfway through BC soil erosion kicked in and groundwater started to deplete. And the only two ways open to the orcs were to fucking starve or to wage a lebenstraum war against Ashenvale NE settlements.

And Thrall would be in the middle of it, trying to negotiate peace as his popular support drops faster than a fucking rock.

Now that's a justification for Horde-Alliance hostilities. I never really understood why they were locked in a cold war in WoW.

Because PvPfaggots get all HURR IZ NUT WOLD UF PEECECRAFT whenever someone suggest moving the story forward with people actually realising how many threats the Alliance and Horde have fought off together.

Thrall isn't Mezt' self-insert. Go-el is.

They are literally two different characters at this point.
