Half-orcs with embarrassing parents

Are you fed up of half-orc characters in your gaming group having tragically hip origin stories?

It’s not a new phenonomia, often theme-appropriate but bubbles up to the surface every now again. A few months back author Sam Sykes got hit with the half-orc frustration.

Illustrator and animator mcnostril (Yann Ben Alluch) had a response.

Mcnostril runs a Patreon where you can support their work. They describe themselves as doing really terrible, absurd comics but I’ve had a tour through their Tumblr and saw no such thing.

I mentioned Yann was an animator too; check out these two examples of some talented work.
