Just an Orzhov bard, who helps promote the attainable imagery of unaffordably lavish hedonistic lifestyles of careless consumption & reckless abandon. You too can be a rock-star... just ...sign the ledger & put it on credit...
I play an orzhov bugbear champion fighter who Steals money from rich people give it to the poor make the guards think the poor did it show up kill the guards tell the poor to join the orzhov syndicate become evil corrupt bank people and repeat
Thank you for these informative videos explaing the structure of Ravnica. I purchased the book recently, and would love to see a video on tips for creating our own adventures in Ravnica. In particular, some info. on building adventures for younger players (12 and under). Love D&D Beyond and your content guys, keep up the great work
Excellent ! I love the World building of ravnica. You know it's well done when simply thinking of a regular citizen living in the city would make for a great story !
Loving these guides. Obviously you could have your typical kleptomaniac rogue join to amass wealth but this also lends to Paladins and Clerics who are much more grey in morality. Essentially realizing that their god is powerful but not wanting to over rely on their protection and gifts so they use more corporate means to protect the good. One cool character I've found is a Warlock who won a game of poker with a demon and in exchange got a bunch of gold and the warlock class powers. There's also a Barbarian who worked as a debt collector for them. These are very flexible lore bits for character creation.
The exploration of this guild is the one I struggle the most to create a character in. I love how this video gives some good definitions of how a player could build into this guild with the intent of being good but at the same time, it's a headache to play something that is a banker or scorekeeper in my mind. Though I know a few friends who might enjoy that.
The Orzhov aren't all completely evil, and not all of them are necessarily bankers. If you wanna be a charitable lender who works against the evil aims of your superiors, I would say that's a great idea for a character! However, if you're going to go that way and don't wanna encounter any resistance, then Selesnya is definitely your jam.

Think of it as if you were to make an NPC do you bidding and you stand on the sidelines watching I think it can be fun
Giorno Giovana from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure might also be a good source of inspiration for a Good character. Someone who wants to gain power in the organization in order to better the innocent people underneath him and is willing to do whatever it takes to get that power as long as it doesn't violate his personal moral code
I've been playing a relatively benign Orzhov cleric in a game recently and it's a lot of fun. One of very few half elves in the Orzhov, he struggled as his peers just saw "the elf", but eventually won acceptance when he realized "the elf" could sell them mediocre food at inflated prices, making him more or less the founder of the Ravnican equivalent of Whole Foods. He bet on both sides of the Ghost Council-Teysa conflict, then lost everything when Kaya ended up in charge. Adventuring is Plan C: his only way out is to return as a hero and armored in glory.
I'm in this guild in a D&D campaign. I play a sorceress who brings in people to the church for them to donate money to them. And the best part, she knows she can have people come to her during her sermons and hymns. Orzhov's Entertainer as she calls herself.
There have been two official pronunciations and that is one of them. It is the more russian of the two and the guild is russian inspired but as both are official it is just preference based.
I've done a bit of digging and it seems to be a split within wizards staff. Even in this video around the 1:18 mark he slips and uses both. It is very much akin to the Darkseid pronunciation in DC comics.
The pronunciation of Orzhov has always been an issue from what I can tell. There's WotC's way of pronouncing it, but there are also two other pronunciations based on Slavic phonetics (since Ravnica is heavily inspired by eastern Europe) that most of the fanbase uses.
Todd Kenrick continues his slow evolution into Mordenkainen...
I feel he looks more like Kratos without his tattoos.
😂😂😂🧙♂️

I think the Orzhov are the most captivating guild. I love the dichotomy between Order and Power. Can't wait to play in Ravnica.

I guess you could say they “Extort” people
A "Haunt"ing thought, isn't it?
Something something “afterlife”
Eyyyyyyyyy
@@ninjump9 That's all of them! Thanks for playing, everyone!
Best mechanic. x)
This has a very Castlevania symphony of the night feel to it
I like idea of a Fallen Aasimar who was a higher up in the Boros who was trained as a Paladin and went to the Orzhov becoming an Oathbreaker
The most LE of LE guilds. These ones are rather scary.
Martín Coronel pyramid schemes are the worst
They aren’t all lawful evil , I’m just a Pontiff Cleric who gives seance’s to help people gain closure and give out very charitable alma
Have you heard of Azorius?

Absolutely love it. Favorite Guild in the Ravnica book, and I can't explain why. XD
So excited to see my favorite guild here! Thank you Todd for doing these videos :) loved ya since Dungeon Life

@@nathansmith5738 That's exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking of JoJo Part 5 while watching the video.
Medieval Catholic Church is that you?
Catholic Church + Mafia
My thoughts exactly XD
The Catholic Church if it wasn’t ashamed of itself.
The Medieval Catholic Church WISHES they could be as opulent and corrupt as the Orzhov!
@@crypticmrchimes other way around, the Borgia send their regards.
Pyramid scheme where you can not get out of it.

Orzhov is my favorite
Freakin' loan sharks, man.
My favorite guild!

Todd: You have the look for a great Ming the Merciless.
The Obzedat have gotten too greedy , I’m grateful to Kaya ; Glory to Orzhova
I’m excited to see how the Orzhov is reformed when mtg returns to the plane again
“Orjov”
I, Giorno Giovanna, have a dream.
Oh my, shaved bald you look like Anton LaVey, lol.
Played my orzhov deck and got lands and damage rained down upon me thanks to borbogymos
Religious organizarion
Bank
Mob
Orzhov
All synonyms
ARE the races in this book AL legal???????????
Heroes of the Vale when?
When comes the next Heroes of the Vale??
I was just about to say that
What are the Orjhov?
"Orjov", that pronounce kills the guild
That's technically a correct pronunciation
Wow. I didnt realize how bad orjov would bother me until he said for the 24th time. This is a troll right? Otherwise by keep saying it???
There have been two official pronunciations and that is one of them. It is the more russian of the two and the guild is russian inspired but as both are official it is just preference based.
To calvo el Todd ajjaj
What's up with this forced pronunciation of "Orjov"? It's been Orzhov since Ravnica City of Guilds came out. Why try to change it now?
PhoenixGuard because that is a sound made when you put a zh together. It’s just an interpretation of a word that follows phonetic rules in place
I've done a bit of digging and it seems to be a split within wizards staff. Even in this video around the 1:18 mark he slips and uses both. It is very much akin to the Darkseid pronunciation in DC comics.
PhoenixGuard seems legit

So.....the Zhentarim of Ravnica...
I'm I listening about DnD or M:tG...cause I came here for M:tG
Both
🎲🖼🎲
Our real world government is Orzhov.
debt is salvation
