^ See my previous suggestion: historical dwarven conflicts with the ELEPHANTS

and then the carp

You could move on to talk about 2d or explain dwarven nobility
I was probably going to cover the more famous events, boatmurdered, sparkgear (not sure which one of the like 8) dwarf against the world, carp and elephants. Nobles are a must obviously. Not sure what to say about 2d though.

I suppose there could have been an unusually bright dwarf who one day came up with the idea of digging up and down as well as horizontally.

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

One thing that needs to be mentioned re the carp: Dwarfs don't fish with poles. They use their beards. See the wiki for more details.

You need to go in-depth on the professions dwarves have. Soap maker and the like.

Awesome writing, by the way!

Some of them would be easy to go into, but with so many jobs I may have to cut a few simply because I can't think of a good way to make fun of them. Though, the more that I think about it, there's probably not a lot I can't make fun of.

Carpentry:
Carpenters make various things out of wood, a practice that was deemed “Dangerously elf-like” many generations ago. Because of this carpenters are viewed either as outcasts (if they enjoy their job) or as unfortunate souls doing a terrible duty out of necessity (if they don’t like their job). While it is grudgingly acknowledged that some wooden things are necessary, at least early on, this does not mean that dwarves have to like this fact. In the grand scheme of things dwarves view carpentry as somewhere between manure shoveler and rapist on the scale of social agreeability.

I always figured dwarves would enjoy carving up and destroying a piece of living wood, seeing how much it pisses off the elves when  it's offered to them as a trade good.

Beds, too. Dwarves like own fine beds.

You should talk about how dwarves are like:

One the one hand, my lover, two children and best friend just died.  On the other hand, it's a really, really nice dining hall... I'm ecstatic.
