Certainly. What fun is evil PCs trying to use Orcs as minions if you can't have civil wars?

When/if I actually get players to reboot a long term campaign I probably will. "Orcs of the Hairy Ear," "Orcs of the Dirty Underwear," "Orcs of the Red Nose of Sorhed," etc.

After reading this thread, I took ten minutes to put a table together for Orc Tribe names. It's got an entry for each letter of the alphabet, plus four extras to make it a 1D30 table.  |

Update: I just put together a sheet to let me track orcish tribes my players come across. It has the name table on the left, and a 2D6 encounter table on the right to determine which tribe is encountered. I made space to note tribal alliances and rivalries, and mocked the whole thing up to look like a bonafide document. Maybe one day I'll throw these little worksheets together into a collection and call it Adventures in Fantasyland, or something similar if that's already taken. The first three tribes my players will be encountering are the Orcs of the Wily Eye, the Orcs of the Yackety Carcass, and the Orcs of the Occasional Quadrille. Orcish Tribes v1.pdf (45.7 KB) |

Do any of your monsters have tribes or factions? |

Are you publishing any of this anytime soon or has it been published and I just don't know about it? you just made big time friends with Perilous Dreamer with that question! Let's see, about the time that I clone three others of me! Joking. All of my projects finish when they finish. My World of Kalibruhn is up there on the list of things, specifically starting with the Undead and "Monsters". My publishing schedule for the next year is packed, however: 2 non fiction books, the DVD Archive (which I finally have a firm release date for after many glitches and delays and additions), a book of my combined interviews and at least 2-3 adventures (2 already finished), and then some ancillary reprints and convention appearances, and an interview with a French RPG magazine, plus.... So... you see how it goes. "Clones needed, please apply in Corsica, Rob provides the champagne for the interview." LOL! |

Do you provide transporation to/from Corsica for the interview? I'd have to shave, but I'm about the right height and I have long hair...
"Clone, clone of my own, made of my own flesh and bone...."

Nope. No transport provided, but a spare bedroom and food and beverages, we can handle that. "Twizzle, Twazzle, Twozzle, Twome; time for this one to come home." |

All these decades, I thought it was "drizzle, drazzle, drazzle, drome... Time for this one to come home."

Phonetically it could very well be, i just pulled it off the 'net having remembered it, cough, hack, wheeze (as per Gronan) form back then. Edit: From wikipedia, as you thought as I had thought, "Mr. Wizard's phrase "Drizzle, Drazzle, Druzzle, Drome; Time for this one to come home" [5] is echoed in the phrase "Twizzle Twazzle Twozzle Tome, Time for This One to Come Home" that was used later by the band The Replacements as a lyric in one of their songs.[6] Seems that I grabbed the first one that came along, though phonetically the two are very similar. |

Twome and Drome strike me as good monster names. Thank you both!

Gee whiz, why didn't I think of using those words for monsters or NPCs ages ago? Somebody give an exalt (Similar to the 1960s No Prize?) to Darci for thinking of that.
And an exhaust to me for not thinking of it.
And something to Rob for bringing attention to creators Buck Biggers and Chet Stover, plus the stunning revelation that a rock (?) band honored Tooter Turtle and Mr Wizard the Lizard. Or was it Mr Lizard the Wizard?

"Dromes" appear in Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men and are extremely dangerous.

No, but I will once I rewrite my old setting or create a new one. If during my research on my fused setting I find tribe names I will use them for sure.
