In this episode of It's A Mimic! the panel of Dungeon Masters takes a good hard look at Orc society, what makes them tick, and why they are such versatile Dungeons and Dragons villains. Both superstitious and militaristic, Orcs clearly deserve to be the subject of the first Mob Mentality episode. From player strategies to DM tactics to flavourful lore, this conversation covers a wide variety of topics around Orcs and their penchant for large-scale murderhobo-ism.

SUMMARY: When the DM's sit down to tackle Dan's favourite horde in D&D 5th Edition, they cover more than just combat and tactics. They look at motivations and potential social encounters with the semi-nomadic humanoids and touch briefly upon the Orc pantheon. Terry encourages everyone to think about the green meanies in ways beyond their simple stupidity and anger issues. The Dungeon Masters also put their heads together to create scenarios where Orcs can be effective at nearly every level and challenge even higher-tiered players. Listen in to hear about how Orcs are both classic tropes and under-appreciated warriors in everyone's favourite TTRPG!
