Elves should have their eye colors named after flowers and other hippie crap, like dwarves' are named after metals and gems.
Agreed!
Shale, Coral, Bark, Mossy, Dewy, Amber, Hazel, Acorn, Clay, Muddy, Marigold, etc.

Also I LoL'd at the Dorf Shorts, "Every dwarf knows that the guard carries their young into battle" thing.

Keep in mind they still have to refer to specific colors. Shale, amber, and hazel are the only ones that are anywhere close, and shale seems a little more suitable for dwarves.

You know I probably have a color wheel somewhere in this house. Anyone want thousands of color names?

It's not hard to find lists of colors online.  Here are a couple:

And thus an elf had hair of radiant orchid, and eyes of poinsettia.

That seems overly beautiful for DF elves, but then again, they ARE elves. I think that elf may also have partial albinism.

Naaa, not edging on albinism, just light caucasian. Partial albinism is pretty extreme by itself, even for blue eyed blonde people.

Yeah being Albino in anyway isn't as great as television would make it seem (unless it is a freekshow in which case it isn't as bad as it makes it seem)

Personally, I always thought of the elves having the eyes of wolfs or cats, with the glow and such since they live in the woods.

I was wondering, since these talk audio files are essentially a Podcast, is there a cost involved in having the Itunes store provide a free link to subscribe to it?

i only mention this because until this summer i had never tried Itunes but Wizards of the Coast were running a DnD 4e game with the creators of Penny Arcade, PvPOnline and Wil Wheaton, now im using it to keep up with certain radio shows that dont exactly mesh with my real life schedule.

it is purely from a delivery point of view, not that i am claiming that the current delivery method is no good, the contrary in fact.
