Unus Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Oh no no no, you don't play. We all have accurately crafted replicas of our selves dwarfified stuck into the game, we all vote on a "cart-busting" site (dwarven tradition) , and then I try to keep all of us alive as we build a fortress for the ages. We may all eventually die, but, it's the journey that counts. Edited October 18, 2016 by Unus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)makrisbrik Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I never go skiing and visiting Aunts....:( At least try skiing once? But go some where else when the Sundance film festival is in town cause parking is extremely hard and you're bound to run into Robert Redford. Then the best part, you can go to Tanger outlet for shopping. I am cyborg sounds interesting. 13 hours ago, Unus said: ~Snip Ladies and gentlemen, how would you all like to be a part of the start of a great dwarven fortress? I don't know? Its the beards!

Bearded female dwarves isn't cannon for Tolkiens work, that's a cross over from D&D IIRC. 56 minutes ago, Unus said: Bearded women are an actual mutation, so it's likely female dwarves are just genetically prone to it.

I found this interesting tidbit. http://www.tolkien.cro.net/dwarves/women.html Did Dwarf women have beards? From: The Tolkien FAQ by William D.B. Loos It seems they did. In the note on Dwarf women in Appendix A it was told: It was said by Gimli that there are few dwarf-women, probably no more than a third of the whole people. They seldom walk abroad except at great need. They are in voice and appearance, and in garb if they must go on a journey, so like to the dwarf-men that the eyes and ears of other peoples cannot tell them apart. The Return of the King, 360 (App A)] Since beards were part of the appearance, not the garb, of dwarf-men, we must conclude that dwarf-women did in fact have beards.

I don't think there's a right or wrong way on how you would see or portray a female dwarf. I'd like to think they don't have facial hair as well. In fact its gotta be impossible that all are alike?

We don't know for sure that every male dwarf had a beard, or that the females weren't simply mistaken/presented as a young, beardless male. 1 hour ago, Skycook3y said: >Implying that it is physically possible for you to be wrong.

We don't know for sure that every male dwarf had a beard, or that the females weren't simply mistaken/presented as a young, beardless male. We could say it's due their centuries of an excessively high protein diet. That could cause such an imbalance especially with certain types of meat. What if they are born with a beard?
