I'm confused what you disagree with in the second part.

"Oh, yeah, safety tools are an absolute must. And that's regardless of intensity. I'm pretty brutal when I'm in the zone, and I've hurt people to the brink of tears time and time again, but I always check in to make sure they're okay with that. And the same goes with something gentler. Remember, even if you're in control, it's not just about what you want."

This is why my group takes the median result on a group check. That 20 should be able to make up for the 1, and the final result is a 17 (rounding down).

There's a few easy solutions, I feel. One is for the ttrpg creator to come here and be active, thus making them an active user allowed to promote themself once a week. A second is for YOU to promote their stuff so it's not self-promotion, then invite them to do the Q&A in the comments or something.

They don't even need speech disorders. They just aren't native speakers, and orcish has wildly different gramatical structures to humanic (or "common" as humans call it). If you spoke orcish, they'd seem more like a race of poets.

That's kind of the opposite, actually. This guy absolutely doesn't want to atone, but wants to make it clear that most other orcs have nothing to atone for. And the idea that a monster seeking recognition and a half-blood trying to atone for perceived sins of the father are "the same" because they're both orcs is part of the problem.

It is an ancient Orcish custom that one should take pride in the work itself and not seek glory from others, yes. This is one of the virtues of orcish society he points out to his survivors while making it clear that he DOES want the glory. Not all orcs are the same. Most are more virtuous than him.

Dragons have the ability to make you either terrified or charmed, and Paladins are immune to fear. Bards can learn Healing Word, but Paladins HAVE to touch you.

I have a character I'd like to play in a one-shot someday. He's a brutish, cruel and irredeemable orc bandit on a quest to enlighten the world about the virtues of orc culture, because he's sick of humans thinking he's only evil because he's an orc. He is a monster, but not because he's an orc. "Orcish poetry is so beautiful that many front-line orc soldiers comfort themselves by thinking about their memorial poem. Personally, I think poetry is for sissies, but most orcs disagree with me!"

Thank you! I've been saying this for a while.

If a puzzle is too simple, players will assume the solution is a red herring, and the actual answer is something more complex. Let us not forget how the entire Fellowship of the Ring was stumped by a door that told them how to open it, because they thought it would be more secure.
