I wondered if I could get a little help from the other GM's out there. What have you done to make interesting and exciting orc antagonists? It seems the the only time characters encounter greenskins of any kind it is in a very impersonal (and sort of cliche) manner. You know what I mean: an orc warband is on the Waaagh and is coming to destroy the city/town/etc., or maybe a powerful orc shaman has united several clans and they are coming to destroy the city... you get the point. How do you make encounters with greenskins memorable? Do you even use orcs as enemies in your campaigns? I have had a hard time including them in substantive ways. Maybe you all could share some of your experiences or ideas?
I once had the characters run into snotlings in the slums of Nuln, accompanied by some vicious little squigs.
I did once use orc undead instead of the regular human variety.
I have just been thinking about some way to throw in a little variety. Any ideas are welcome.
