Fantastic job! I truly enjoyed reading it and cracked up at several points.

The one thing I'd point out is that I think Toady mentioned that female dwarves don't have beards...but I could be wrong...

...oh, and something I just thought of that you might like to include at some point is the dwarven derision of cups, mugs, goblets or assorted liquid holding containers...barring of course the barrel.

another update, more jobs. Gosh darn there are alot of these things.

Bump to first page.

Great work, keep it up. I had quite a few laughs. I await your next update.

[piecewise]

ouch ok so the book of job(s) is now done, but I have officially exceeded the character count now. I even had to cut this little bit from the BOJ

"Architecture
The dwarven architect is often uneducated and inexperienced, sometimes picked simply because he is the closest to the current construction job. Thus thrust into his new position the unfortunate victim usually fails terribly, often ending in the deaths of several masons and the stranding of many more. In order to avoid embarrassment the project foreman has the architect jailed and supposedly executed. However, rather then actually executing him the foreman simply gives the victim a false beard to wear over his real one and then reintroduces him into society. By the end of his life time the average dwarf is reported to be wearing no fewer then 3 false beards over his real one. "

I'm looking for more ideas on what I should add next or if this is ready to be saved over on the Wiki or on the stories board (if it fits there). As always, comments and criticism not only excepted but borderline demanded.

Ridiculously epic, Piecewise.

You should've reserved some posts below the initial one for the other parts, though.

The epitome of hilariousness!

I was expecting a crack at coins being incredibly deadly weapons in adventure mode, and equally devastating weapons to fortress mode.

yeah, but everything is a deadly weapon when thrown. Plus I can't ever recall seeing a non-adventurer throw things in a non-tantrum state.

[Sysice]

No. They destroy the fortress, not its enemies.

Trapping:
Imagine, if you will, a great and grizzled mountain man with a long flowing beard and eyes shining like two great lumps of coal. Imagine this man holding a bear trap. Imagine this man chasing a mouse with this bear trap. This is the basic scenario of dwarven Trapping.

lol

This paints a much more vivid image of dwarves in my mind, it's brilliant! I hope you can write more at some point (perhaps you could crate a new thread with some reserved posts and merge the rest or something?)

[Janus]

Don't leave out their love of building glory holes.

I'm beginning to think I should just start a "Piecewise's Random Sarcasm and Satire" thread somewhere and start archiving my stuff. I'll probably add this to the wiki now, since the dwarf article is woefully bare.

[piecewise]

Apparently someone didn't like it as it seems to have been removed from the wiki. Should I try and put it up again?

[Blargityblarg]

Yes. Just make sure that people won't mistake this for actual canon- so eyah, D for Dwarf.
