I've seen a fair numbe rof orcs played, partially exactly because they're a bit 'troll-light'.
Trolls have always gotten more racism around here, and some players will kinda assume that you're just running amok if you play a troll, while orcs are... still within the reasonable.

Ofcourse, we had some fun for a while, playing in London, with the South Themes Black Orcs.
(Warhammers players are more likel to get that joke...)

Well, remember, they're called "orks" not "orcs" Also, anyone who is in the know, knows that Orzet is the Orkish language from... you know what.

You know, Retread, sometimes I really HATE you. But yeah, I figured it might have been a reference to that game. I have to say that I love the idea of a 4th World with all the usual suspects in it, but I still think the SR version should be separet from the ED version. We do, after all, have a collssal amount of archialogical data going back tens of thousands of years. ED was made to be an ancient "present" that wouldn't really conform to the past of today. But that having been said, I'm glad SOMEONE found the old orc language.

Found it? Nah, Dunkie gave it to that one chica in his will, if I recall...

And I was sort of sitting there waiting for Retread to mention it.
How many of you have access to both SOTA 2064 and ED: Denizens (sp?) of Barsaive 2?
There are snippets of Ork/Orzet in both, they line up pretty well.

I wonder if they ever plan to do an Earthdawn 2nd Edition???

Gabriel

[ROOTless]

WEll, given that I own a book by that name, I'd say it's a safe bet the would, yes.

[Retread]

Tee!

[Ruski]

I thought they let it die?

2nd edition Earthdawn was released a while ago... I used to own the 2nd ed ED book, hardcover.
