There's a tendency to lump folks together on the internet...they're always doing that. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Then how the hell did we get to arguing about what Tolkien named his dwarves? That's before D&D ever came out, let alone 4th edition. I stated my dislike for the names of Tolkien's dwarves from the Hobbit - and wasn't the first, I might add - and this somehow caused a mammoth implosion in which all other possible avenues in this thread were diverted into the great anti-intellectual void I had become in the minds of others.Well, my opinions are free. Composing a dwarven language with enough root syllables and naming rules to put together a list of a dozen or so dwarvish names that I personally prefer to Tolkien's is a lot to ask while I'm at work, and I'd need to make a little coin off that. Besides, it really doesn't matter what names I put out there, one can easily just type the words "I prefer Tolkien's" and wheeee, they win internets! Rather than bother sustaining the issue, I tried to put it to bed. You're welcome to think of me as you wish - I've never lost a lick of sleep over the internet and won't start now - but my time isn't free.</blockquote>
