Thoughts on #Gygax, #Orcs and the infamous Chivington quote. A 🧵

LONG! TL:DR Gygax didn't want you to play the moral questions of the game One Way, but wanted you to consider playing with a archaic mythic mindset. Also the Chivington quote is terrible. #dnd Why am I going into this?

Gygax explaining the moral permissibility of a Paladin executing prisoners who convert to LG has done more to render the idea of Orcs as a humanoid monster disposed to evil completely toxic in a way it would not had Gygax never explained it that way.

Yellow: Maybe an "indigenous coding"
Green: anti-indigenous coding

#orcs FWIW, this is the entry that the MM would use for ACTUAL TRIBAL HUMANS

Can we complain about that? Sure! No issue. It needs improvement. Also: its for wargame-sized groups and tells you what you want to know for a wargame.
