ORC is a Role Playing Game rules system.
- ORC character creation is fairly crunchy, but its crunchy for a reason.
- The rules are primarily meant to model physics and biology.
- ORC gameplay is easy to learn and quick to use.
- All rules work from the same basic mechanic.
- The rules can scale from light to crunchy based on the needs of the story.
- The most complicated part is combat, because the combat system allows for people to use real-life strategies and to employ every resource available to help them win.
- ORC is not a generic system designed to be able to be instantly dropped into any setting.
- ORC is designed for realistic, low-powered gameplay (as opposed to legendary, superheroic, comedic, etc. games).
- ORC character creation must be specifically tailored to each game setting.
- ORC does character classes in a realistic and flexible way.
- They say what the character’s pace in society is, not what the character can become.
