Goblins, Orcs & Half Orcs Jul 27, 2026

Show notes

Goblins, orcs, and half-orcs can be far more than disposable monsters and familiar fantasy stereotypes. In this episode, we explore alternative personalities, cultures, origins, and character concepts that give these classic D&D creatures new life; from psionic goblins and forge-priest orcs to half-orc spies, diplomats, and combat medics. Whether you need a memorable NPC, a new player character, or inspiration for an entire society, we’ve got plenty of unexpected ideas to bring to your table.
