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.

[–] mogoh@lemmy.ml 60 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] moody@lemmings.world 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I resent that remark!

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

*resemble

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

Better add resentful to the list as well

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 39 points 2 years 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".

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 years ago

... 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.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 15 points 2 years 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.

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

I wish everything was more horny.

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.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] asqapro@reddthat.com 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 11 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it's definitely AI copying Dross

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

Tags include "1 male" and "orc femboy"

Myth confirmed

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My money is lost, has anyone seen it?

[–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 32 points 2 years ago (3 children)

....... 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 25 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 11 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

[–] exu@feditown.com 5 points 2 years ago

smash

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 15 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? :|

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.”

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I'm actually a fan of the general change to races and background. It's more role play friendly because all the tables available to me are run like we're power gaming. Which of course makes us power game to stay alive. So now I can be whatever I want without worrying too much.

[–] vonbaronhans@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty hyped for DC20. I backed the Kickstarter... now I just need life to fuckin' chill long enough for me to pull a game together to test out the beta rules.

[–] TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.network 7 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.

[–] webadict@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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