This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

When orcs ruled the land through conquest and had many human subjects, orc chieftains used the right of prima nocta to ensure that the resulting population generated was more orcish in outlook and appearance.

Greetings!

*Laughing* Ahh, yes. Prima Nocta is damned right, Jeff! That's how it's done, my friend.

"Well, you see? If we can't drive them out, we'll breed them out! We shall use an old custom, Prima Nocta. That should get us a more Orcish population for us to rule over." ;D

I choked on my coffee laughing when I read your commentary there, Jeff. Fucking awesome, my friend!

I don't know where half-orcs come from, but in my (D&D) setting I know where they go: straight in the bin. I don't want them around, so they don't exist as NPCs or as PCs.
