The Orcs
Enemies of the crew's ever-continuing Lord of the Rings D&D campaign — a hostile army with controllers the series is still unveiling.
Overview
The Orcs are a hostile faction in the Menace Crew multiverse. Creator-confirmed framing (Jul 2026): they exist inside the Lord of the Rings timeline that is the main cast's ever-continuing D&D campaign. They are not random greenskinned extras — they are campaign enemies with bosses and long-running table energy.
Verified
- Music video: Orc Gang Gang (Jun 28, 2026) — "we understand the full extent of who the Orcs are."
- Tabletop frame: the crew's ongoing D&D campaign uses a LOTR-timeline board; orcs are the enemy force on that board.
- Control: the orcs are under the control of hostiles, including xQc. At least one major controller remains unrevealed in the serial on purpose — do not expect a clean "here's the final BBEG" card in a random short.
