Summary: Sense of humor required
Comment: This is one of the best-loved D&D sourcebooks of all time - a thoughtful, but thoroughly humorous, in-depth look at the personalities of the Orcs of the Broken Lands. You get lots of horrible jokes and genuinely hilarious situations, plus endless reams of lore... how to run humanoid PCs, notes on religion, language, combat, chieftans, heroes, adventures, history, magic, treasures, and yes, Orc Wars, the tabletop game!

Summary: The Orcs of Thar
Comment: While out-of-print, for the discerning roleplayer who has always pondered why these humaniods have been around as long as the humans here is your definative answer.

The Orcs of Thar provides comprehensive backgrounding on the Broken Lands bordering Darokin, Rockhome, & Glantri. In addition to the valuable source material provided for human campaigns, the enterprising Storyteller (and Player) can find rules to play kobolds, goblins, orcs, ogres and trolls. These rules are in a formatt to limit power playing, balance out the various abilities and toughess of the creatures.

In addition to the new characters you will also find cultures of the varying nations within the Broken Lands, war machines, and some very interesting immortals who lead and influence these nations. Included are maps, adventure ideas, and naturally the who's who of the Broken Lands. If you can find this book, and whether you're playing D&D or AD&D, this handbook will provide you with heaps of ideas just for capmaigns, and I hope some alternative ideas for your campaigns.
