Yes. They are called "orcs".

Funniest line of the thread! Thank you (again) Schweig.

God damn it, that was my first joke but I deleted and wrote something less funny. Then Schweig stole it.

I think we found the theme for Loter's next game.

Negrorcs VS The Legacy Of The Evil Token

Man, I still have this setting for a TV series / SciFi world called Fear Of A Black Planet, concerning a colony spaceship full of black people setting out for a world that they can inhabit without other races. The show features endless bickering among the passengers about their vision of the new Utopia and awesome music (including the title song). Of course a Chinese stowaway turns up somewhere

If only I could write...

Both are garbage.

I have never heard of either of them

I came to vote against Terrinoth, yet I didn't know what Dominaria was. So I looked it up. They're both stupid. I didn't even know Magic had a setting, and still have no idea why it would even need one.

Then I started thinking about settings, and why the hell does Twilight Imperium get a pass? Space cats were cool when I was a kid and played Wing Commander on my screaming-fast 486. Space turtles have never been cool. Michael Bay can fuck off too.

If FFG could negotiate a setting-license-for-life sort of deal for Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy it would be good for both companies. Warhammer might be a little bit stupid too, but at least it's fun-stupid. Just reading the flavor text in Horus Heresy makes you want to play it. Imagine Twilight Imperium 40k. Rune Wars and Rune Age in the Warhammer Fantasy setting. Glad I could help. I'll settle for 2% of Warhammer-branded revenue paid out quarterly.

Yeah, Magic has no actual setting, really. Not one that is immediately identifiable. Terrinoth's not much better.

Runebound and Runewars have boards, which is a physical representation of Terrinoth, so I'm voting with them. The closest thing Magic has is a playmat. Fuck playmats. I had a playmat with a little train scene on it for my 2 year old when she was that young, and thus playmats do not, in any way, construe theme or setting. They're furniture.
