Interesting, but nothing surprising or new to the last 30 years about dwarves. Family, work, clan...

Is there a transcript someplace? I hate video, linear sequential access to data is so inefficient.

Yes there has always been a transcript on the site that no one seems to link when posting the videos.

I've begun to just check the main D&D Beyond site as part of my blog regimen. Fun stuff nearly every day, and I only read the transcripts.

Standard D&D dwarf, presented as a tight concept.

I think this video shows a interesting take on dwarven society. I love how Mearls tells us about dwarves that are perfectionist, but without ambition: when a dwarf smith starts his day at the forge, he doesn't want to create the best in history of the world, he wants this specific weapon he's working on to be the best it could be. I also like that this perfectionism translates into their family life.

The comparison between them and orcs, two reflections of the same society, one bound to creation, the other to destruction because they were literally created so their specific God could make a point.
