|Orks... Well... SR is probably the only game I know of where Orks are a
|normal, viable race. AD&D came close with it's half orcs, but... That's
|still not the same... And Orcs in Tolkien were pretty much the same as in
|AD&D: Evil green beasties... They were also called Goblins in Tolkiens
|books...

Not the only one....

Paladium had Orcs as player characters, along with Hobgoblins, goblins,
changelings and Wolfen. 10 years ago.....

And quite a few LRP systems allow almost any race (that isn't unbalancing).
