History BoisterousBruiser / TabletopGames

** Then there's the [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orks]], a 'scourge on the entire galaxy' consisting entirely of Boisterous Bruisers. Brutally effective in battle, equivalent to a fully armoured Space Marine in close combat and capable of building equipment for an army from scrap, they also consider [[MoreDakka dakka]], hatchets and [[SpikesOfDoom spiky bits]] to be the most important tools for war and won't hesitate to charge a tank with nothing but an axe and bits of leather strapped to them. Occasionally an especially large and powerful Warboss (though the two tend to be interchangeable, as Orks [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking determine rank via size]]) will assemble enough 'boyz' to lead a ''WAAAGH!'', an interstellar campaign resembling a mass migration, looting party, holy war and pub crawl (with the occasional bit of genocide)... though the nature of this trope will inevitably cause it to disintegrate into internecine fighting, which is just fine with them, as it means more people to fight. They are the only faction who doesn't regard endless, pointless warfare as {{grimdark}} SeriousBusiness, which makes them appealing to many players of the game.

* The ''Tabletopgame/{{Pathfinder}}'' core setting has its own equivalent of Kord: Cayden Cailean, whose epithet is "The Drunken Hero." He was a mortal mercenary who ascended to godhood as a consequence of a dare he accepted during an evening of partying ([[WhatDidIDoLastNight he doesn't remember the exact means by which he accomplished this]]), and currently reigns as the ChaoticGood deity of adventurers, freedom, and alcoholic beverages. According to the source book, his life as both mortal and god consisted of "fighting for just causes, enjoying various alcohols, and not doing anything he didn't want to do."

** The Goliath in 3rd and 4th are a whole RACE of these.

** The ''{{Greyhawk}}'' setting has Kord the Battlelord, the ''god'' of Boisterous Bruisers. Kord's main religious rituals include wrestling, killing evil monsters, and bragging about wrestling and killing evil monsters.

* ''IronKingdoms''. Borka Kegslayer is an eight-foot tall trollkin shaman of the fertility goddess, Dhunia, and is also the embodiment of this trope. He has sired so many children from so many different women that he's lost track of them all; he once freed a tribe of enslaved pygmy trolls, all of whom then immediately swore enternal loyalty to him and now act as his personal beer keg carriers (he always has them follow him into battle, in case he gets thirsty); and has killed so many enemies that he has become a house hold name for every kriel (clan) in the northern hemisphere.

** The ''{{Greyhawk}}'' setting has Kord the Battlelord, the ''god'' of Boisterous Bruisers. Kord's main religious rituals include wrestling, killing evil monsters, and bragging about wrestling and killing evil monsters. Following this example has led to a Religion of Ham.

** The ''{{Greyhawk}}'' setting has Kord the Battlelord, the ''god'' of Boisterous Bruisers. Kord's main religious rituals include wrestling, killing evil monsters, and bragging about wrestling heavily-armed evil monsters to death in a tavern afterwards.

Despite the atrocities they inflict on the galaxy, players are fond of them as the only faction who doesn't regard eternal warfare as {{grimdark}} SeriousBusiness.

** Then there's [[OurOrcsAreDifferent da Orks]], a galaxy-spanning species of this trope that are so numerous they could easily destroy every other faction if they didn't enjoy fighting each other so much. Brutally effective in battle, equivalent to a fully armoured Space Marine in close combat and capable of building equipment for an army from scrap, they also consider [[MoreDakka dakka]], choppa and [[SpikesOfDoom spikey bits]] to be the most important tools for war and won't hesitate to charge a tank with nothing but an axe and bits of leather strapped to them. Occasionally an especially large and powerful Warboss (though the two tend to be interchangeable, as Orks [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking determine rank via size]]) will assemble enough boyz to lead a WAAAGH!, an intestellar campaign resembling a mass migration, looting party, holy war and pub crawl, with the occasional bit of genocide, though the nature of this trope will inevitably cause it to distintegrate into internecine fighting, which is just fine with them, as it means more people to fight.
