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.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 35 points 2 years ago (1 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".

That's a femboy, friend

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 23 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.

I wish it wasn't so obsessed with being upset about miniscule changes.

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

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

Has anyone seen the bard?

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

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

XD

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

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 18 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. ☝️🤓

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 14 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.”

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.

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 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.

Isn't that twink a Goblin, tho?

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

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

we love an easy twink, especially one who's a' Goblin

The fucks wrong with the hands? Is this ai generated?

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Nah this is hands drawn correctly but not well, AI draws hands well but incorrectly.
(relatively speaking, its still hands drawn better than I can)

Edit: Then again the ears are odd and the black thing vanishing under the clothes is confusing. Normally AI can't understand that objects going behind another object have to come out the other side and this passes that test but it also just looks weird in a way a human wouldn't do.

Count the Fingers

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

Not all races have 5 fingers?

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do orcs? The thumbs aren't looking great either, the righthand nail bleeds over and the lefthand thumb appears to point downwards.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I think you're just looking for things. It looks fine.

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 years ago

There's a fingernail coming out of the middle of her left hand, and it has a bonus floating finger behind it.

I don't think they made the 5Essentials Orc Warcraft-color.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

omg I love the term "5Essentials" to refer to the new edition.
