Initially, I simply wanted to make a brief list for my campaign ideas and concepts on my profile page, but due to character limit I was not able to publish it, so I decided to make a thread in the Idea Factory forum section. Might update it from time to time if I have a desire to, but no guarantees.
I am not developing any maps and/or campaigns since I am not good at it, but I was thinking about campaign ideas in my mind and came up with few concepts. In this case, these are anthology RPG campaigns featuring Orc protagonists. Set in the same continuity, but self-contained and enjoyable as stand-alone experiences (apart from each campaign briefly referencing the previous ones). These ideas and concepts can be used by anyone if they want to.
Mindwolf Clan Campaign: Tales of Berzhok
A skilled and noble warrior from a shamanistic Orc clan sets out on journey to master his innate connection with wolves. Accompanied by a good natured Pandaren Monk and later by a capable female Night Elven Archer, Berzhok travels to Kalimdor, committing just deeds and reconciling conflicts. Later on in the story, a Satyr conspiracy unfolds, threatening the state of the world.
Themes and motifs: Spirituality, wolves, diplomacy, mystical realms.
Fistbreaker Clan Campaign: Tales of Braka
A tough female Orc with an attitude and her clan of brawlers and pugilists seek out challenges, facing off against spider creatures, Golems, Black Dragons, cultists of the Blood God Hakkar, Cerberus, Lava Creatures and the mighty Gorian Empire, while gaining allies along the way, from Gnolls and Forest Trolls to a tribal, amazonian Orc clan living in the swamps and the Murlocs.
Themes and motifs: Physical strength, fighting, brutishness, challenges.
Tempest Wyrm Clan Campaign: Tales of Nysagra
A plucky wyvern rider embarks on the adventure to explore the world and find lost, ancient artifacts of her clan, befriending Kobolds, Sludge Monsters, a Succubus, Vulpera, the Dwarves, Pandaren, Tuskkar, Polar Furbolgs and the Nerubians throughout her travels.
Themes and motifs: Travel, adventure, exploration, artifacts.
Facts and lore details:
-Mindwolf Clan is comparable to the Frostwolf Clan, as both are shamanistic clans, who reside in snowy mountains.
-A fraction of Mindwolf Clan, known as the Mindwolf Diaspora, is located in the Barrens of Kalimdor. For a while, they were in conflict with local Harpies, who considered the Orcs to be invaders trying to chase them out of their lands. This was settled peacefully after Berzhok convinced Harpies that the Orcs meant no harm and that it was all just a misunderstanding, as well as after proving himself to the flying creatures by completing a task for them.
-Mindwolf Clan represents shamanistic, spiritual and mystical side of the Orcs, while the Fistbreaker Clan represents the physicality, brutishness and aggression. Initially, both clans were enemies of one another for many years, a conflict between the brains and the brawn, but at the end of Tales of Berzhok, both clans reach the truce, with Braka becoming the new chieftain of her respective clan and the Fistbreakers transitioning from thugs and bullies to a bunch of rowdy punks. Rough around the edges, but not evil. This was due to most, if not all of its most violent members selling themselves to Satyrs to become stronger, but dying anyways, either being killed by the Night Elves or being betrayed by the Satyr Leader to increase his own power. The current members of Fistbreaker Clan, including Braka, are of the younger generation, who have no antagonistic history or quarrel with the Mindwolf Clan.
-A clan with the connection with the Wyverns, Tempest Wyrm Clan played a supporting role during one of the early chapters in Tales of Berzhok. Though neutral and not involved in the conflict between the Mindwolf and the Fistbreaker Clans, Tempest Wyrms treated Berzhok cordially. In her campaign, Nysagra expressed the opinion that the Tempest Wyrm Clan should have stood alongside the Mindwolves, something that the Chieftain did not argue against. Upon encountering a traveler Mindwolf shaman, who previously appeared in Tales of Braka, she apologized to him for her Clan not choosing to side with them.
-Tempest Wyrm Clan has the ability to perform a ritual that turns an individual into a Spirit Wyvern. Since it is a staple of the clan, it is considered to bring up this magic in Tales of Nysagra. One of the possible ways to do it is to allow players to chose which of the certain heroes (such as the Vulpera Hero) can travel alongside Nysagra or to be available to call for help during the missions as the optional feature.
-Night Elves are a legendary race, who defeated massive invasion of Demons a millennia ago. During the Tales of Berzhok, a selfish and narcissistic Night Elf, who was a Satyr and shared loose similarities with Dar'khan Drathir, wanted to take over the world by controlling demonic energies, though he was killed by the combined efforts of Berzhok (who had achieved the Wolf Form), Aynala (Night Elven Archer Hero) and Mingshu (Pandaren Monk Hero).
-Though it is not specified in the three campaigns, Sargeras - the leader of the Burning Legion - was defeated by Maiev Shadowsong at the cost of her own life. The very place where the battle between the two took place, known as the Tomb of Sargeras, lies in the island at the center of the Great Sea, guarded by the Naga.
-Though the Demons were destroyed and no longer the threat to the known world, Tales of Nysagra established that somehow a single Succubus exists, living in the forests of the Eastern Continent. She was approached by the Gallywix Cartel (a group of Goblins, who serve as the antagonists in the aforementioned campaign) to become the bride of the Trade Prince, but refused and was abducted as the result, unable to escape due to Gallywix using a magical collar on her. Being kept a prisoner for some time, with Gallywix considering selling her to Imperator Mar'gok at some point in the past, she was brought underground, where the Gallywix Cartel were carrying out their operations, which involved subjugating the Kobolds, she was freed by Nysagra. Later on in the campaign, she re-appears and helps Nysagra to take down the Trade Prince, whom she then takes prisoner and whips constantly as the punishment for her enslavement. Despite her demonic origin, this Succubus is not malevolent and never turns against Nysagra or anyone else.
-Naga were originally considered as the final antagonists for Tales of Braka, but it was decided not to include them. The final boss of the campaign is Imperator Mar'gok.
-Though it hasn't made an appearance in any of the three campaigns, Shadowmoon Clan inhabits the northern forests of the Eastern Continent. A prestigious shamanistic clan, led by Ner'zhul, it lives peacefully and has neutral/good relations with its neighbors - the Humans and the High Elves.
-After the events of Tales of Berzhok, the Mindwolf Diaspora, the Harpies, the Centaurs, the Quilboars and the Ogres (the Ogres of Barrens are not connected to the Gorian Empire) form a coalition to aid each other and exchange goods.
-The main antagonists of each campaigns are as follows:

-The main antagonists of each campaigns are as follows:
- Tales of Berzhok: The Satyrs. The Fistbreaker Clan serves as the main enemy in the first chapters and during one chapter in the Barren Diplomacy Arc, but in the later missions they team up with the Satyrs, only to be relegated to their minions and eventually being killed by the Satyr Lord.
- Tales of Braka: The Gorian Empire serve as the recurring adversaries in this campaign, with Imperator Mar'gok as their leader and the final boss. It should be pointed out that Hakkar the Blood God is the most powerful opponent in the campaign, both in-story and stat-wise, but the Gorians serve as the overarching foes that Braka, the Fistbreaker Clan and their allies face.
- Tales of Nysagra: The Gallywix Cartel come closest to being the actual antagonists, but my idea is for them to be defeated during the middle of the campaign, while the Northrend Arc, which is the final section of the story, does not feature them at all, instead focusing on Wendigos, Magnataurs and Dragonspawns as the obstacles.
