Goblins and Orcs, evil or not?

Ah, like the Uruks shown in LotR? It never showed how the goblins or orcs were... 'born.'
But was that just created by Peter Jackson and the crew on the movies, or did Tolkien actually describe that as the way that the Uruks were born?
The orcs and goblins in the land of UROD are nomadic tribes, so I don't think that method would really work for them, since they're moving around so much.
I still think we should have orc and goblin females, I mean, it's only fair, and it eliminates the hassle of trying to figure out some other way of reproduction.
I guess with the way shown in the LotR movies, it made the Uruks have no feelings other than hate/rage/anger.
To have the orcs and the goblins in UROD like that wouldn't really work with them being nomadic, and we'd have to figure out a whole new system, as they'd be pretty much mindless, and need to be commanded what to do.
Overall though, this doesn't really affect the game's integral system, it's just fluff, so you can ignore it if you want, and have the orcs and goblins reproduce however you want.
But to me, I think they deserve to be slightly more humanesque than portrayed in the LotR movies. I mean, we're trying to be slightly original here, we don't want to be just another LotR rpg clone, right?

Give a taffer fire and he'll be warm for the night, with one less reason to cause trouble.
Set a taffer on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life and will never cause trouble again.

That is true... It's entirely up to you! You are the fluff writer! :D

But yeah, in a few of Tolkein's other books, (Perhaps not the LOTR books) it explains a lot of it. My aunt is like a Middle Earth guru! She knows almost EVERYTHING there is to know about it. :rolleyes:

LOL, I'll have to meet your aunt somtime then.
Just gotta continue writing the history then, wish Chris would get some basics set down so I have stuff to work with; else I'm basically writing the whole history for the island. Which would be fun, but an awful lot of responsibility.

Ah, stuff like the name of the island, and of the different parts of the island, and whether or not he wants to be official over city names, or if I can just create them. Whether there's any history already created, or if I need to do everything, a basic time on when 'now' is, so I can write dates for my history. What the relations between different races, cities, sects are. Any wars going on, any wars that've happened, etc etc

They obeyed through fear. Would YOU say no to the Witchking?? :ph43r: Also the dark lord had a "magical" hold over them, so to speak. He basically controlled their heart, soul, and mind. (if they even HAVE any of those ;) )

Anyway, there ARE NO GAY ORCS OR GOBLINS IN UROD!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:

And on another note, Mordor, you might want to watch your language a bit more. Even in abreviation it's still swearing. We want this site to be friendly to ALL people, including younger peeps. Ok?
