Hey folks! I run a special midnite game at Origins for folks/friends who play WEGS Old Skool (my six-stat sword-n-sorcery system). The midnite game is a full throttle single encounter that pits the heroes against a devious minion of incredible power. This year, I gave the players a choice of the minions they could encounter. Initially, the list was composed of eight classic monsters/minions, which we whittled down to the top three: --A Demi-Lich (think Tomb o' Horrors) --An Ether Dragon (think dragon mixed with a wraith) --99 Low Level Orks I just threw the Orks on the initial list as a joke… Guess which minion won? I'll post details of the game post-con! Larry |

LOL… That hadn't even crossed my mind… I hope no one starts that song; it'll be a long night!!! |

Many moons ago we did a game with a bunch of "retired" DnD characters. The DM sent 10,000 orcs, 4 got away. I think bonus victory points for inventive way of dealing with the orcs. |

Egad! The 99 Low Level Orc Chorus has begun… At least we all know there's a definitive end to this in about 95 more posts! :-) To Sabre6,
Can't imagine 10k orcs! I've going to have my hands full just running 99. Given their low level, I'm imagining my dice rolls will decrease with each passing round! And now back to the chorus… |

Of course, if Jay-Z plays he'd sing: If you're having kobold problems, I feel bad for ya son,
I got 99 problems but an ork ain't one |

I go away for a few days to Origins, leaving y'all with a small ork problem, and find that there's still a heap of 'em alive and kickin! The smouldering heap is pretty cool, though ;-) Sad to say, the midnite game did not go off as planned. Our 9pm game ran in extra innings and we decided to finish that one off. Best-laid plans of orks and men… (I have put this on the schedule for a con in a couple weeks. Will see how that goes!) |

little redhead girl steps on stage. "Darkness of blackest pitch
Crimson of blood that flows
Buried in the stream of time
Is where your power grows I pledge myself to conquer
All those who stand
Before the mighty gift bestowed
In my unworthy hand May the FOOLS who stand before us
be destroyed by the power you and I possess! Dragon . . . Slave" |

The smouldering heap is pretty cool, though ;-) We aim to please, and shoot to kill. |

As the final nail in the coffin of this thread, we pull in the big guns: KING ARTHUR:
Consult the Book of Armaments! [Brother Maynard steps forward] BROTHER MAYNARD:
Armaments, chapter two, verses nine to twenty-one. SECOND BROTHER:
And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu-- MAYNARD:
Skip a bit, Brother. SECOND BROTHER:
And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.' MAYNARD:
Amen. KNIGHTS:
Amen. KING ARTHUR:
Right! One!… Two!… Five! SIR GALAHAD:
Three, sir! KING ARTHUR:
Three! [Arthur lobs the bomb, choir of angels sing, big big boom follows and ork guts fly everywhere] Thus ends the tale of 99 low level orcs… |

So that's it?!? We can't sing about orcs on a wall if you take out the wall, you know… |

Now, now, let's not bicker 'n argue about who killed who! This is an 'appy occasion! As fate would have it, I'm running a full platter of WEGS Old Skool events at a con this weekend (Dexcon, NJ). 99 Low Level Orks is slated to run on Sunday. So, I'll have game details for you all next week on my exploits. |
| Wegzo II | 15 Jul 2009 4:59 a.m. PST |
Finally got to run 99 Low Level Orks at a convention this week! Due to the number of players that showed up, we expanded the terrain to two tables: Ork King's Keep The Liche King's Crypt We joined the two tables together with a bridge so players could travel from one encounter to the next. Did I launch the full fury of 99 Low Level Orks? Nope… Only about 40 and some dungeon dingos!
