Good PC Races Gone Bad: Dwarves

[ComradeGnull]

Halflings of Warhammer, running joke is Mootafia (mafia) controlling the breadbasket of the empire and having spys in every kitchen.

Had Gnomes once as a steam-age empire that was out to control the world, using their air ships and air guns. The were enslaving other races for their coal mines and elemental mines. Their boots on ground were Hobgoblins.

The Rise and Fall of the 3' Reich?

I just don't get the "evil / good" race thing. I mean... No one (and no race) is evil by blood. Evil individuals are made because traumatic or experiences in their past. That's why I see so credible the concept of a evil dwarf or halfling.

I'll follow your articles for sure.

That was part of my motivation for starting this- it seems like villains with realistic motivations could make for a more interesting (if perhaps slightly lower key) adventure. If nothing else, it can be a fun break from fighting evil cultists and demons bent on world destruction.
