Just for the sake of the record: I was pointed towards and quickly browsed a copy of ORK! about two years ago, right after the release of the PDF version of my own game. I'd never even heard about it before then, and I didn't really get a chance to read much more than a couple of pages.

<snip> I haven't read ORX, but I urge you to give ORK! a shot first. The game is an absolute riot and a breeze to play: The rules will take you about five minutes to figure out and you will literally never run out of adventure ideas.

Well, maybe not
first 
, but it does sound like fun!
There's also another game along the same theme called
Great Ork Gods (You're Green, You're Ugly, and the Gods Hate You) by Jack Aidley, which is loads of fun to play and should be coming out soon. It began development around the same time the old PDF version of ORX was being finished, IIRC. Check it out!
Thanks for your comments!
