This symbol of love remains as a reminder of the loss of a loved one to the unknown, or perhaps as a reminder that love is stronger than political promises.

Used as a body paint when going into battle, this orc-made magic liquid starts with the blood of a troll.
14 years ago, when my homebrew world was in the midst of its time as an online, Neverwinter Nights server, I decided that things made by orcs should be able to have Orcish names. Rather than trying to use some existing orc language, I decided to make one of my own...not a full language, but just enough words to name things PCs might come across.
Scrar is the Orcish wo...

Sometimes you have raiders who may be good at killing things but not that great at bringing back anything useful. If that is your tribe's problem, this magical leather helmet can be the solution.

A patron asked for this commissioned boss monster based on a character from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
A bit of research later (because I'd only seen it once, many years ago), some D&D knowledge applied, and this bad guy was ready for gaming.

This type of magical item is prized by certain orcs, though others might consider it cursed because it can't be removed until you die.

Some families have special recipes that have been handed down through generations, and orcs are no different in this case.
This particular recipe is for something many orcs consider a delicacy, and a rare treat because of how difficult it can be to come by the star ingredient.

The time of the orc is here! And it's time for the orcs to celebrate.
This is the 1st creation for Orc-tober, when I challenge myself to do an entire month of daily, orc-related homebrews.
This particular creation is inspired by the Oktoberfest activities going on this weekend in La Crosse, WI (just down the road from where I live).

This warm garment may not seem like it would be a valuable treasure, but it certainly was to the woman who made it, and to those who know who she was.
A few days ago, I found a bucket of milkweed seeds I'd misplaced last fall. They'd been gathered so I could scatter the seeds, but I never got around to it.
The soft fibers are silky, soft, shiny, and lightweight, so I got to wondering if they could be made into a fabric. It turns out they can, but they are a little fragile so they ...

There is a magical well out in the middle of nowhere. A gnomish woman lives next to it and will sell you water from the well.
She will also sell you a magical powder that makes the well really, really uplifting.
