    36 KB A new take on Dwarves Anonymous 07/22/09(Wed)04:53 No.5224044  
    To the far west of the continent, beyond the light of the gods, and unknown to the world of men and elves lies the Dwarvish Empire. A mercantile superpower, these dwarves are not like the fortress-dwelling gruffians of yesteryear, who fled the continent in great ships following the last Elf-Dwarf war. Nay, they have evolved and developed, inventing gunpowder and advancing their culture to a parallel of our British Empire. Having defeated the goblins of the spice isles, they have turned their attention back to the mythic continent of old, which they remember as a land of beasts and horrid creatures. Brave explorers venture back, to hunt such fabled beasts as the Terrasquesaurus Dynamicus, and see the noble savages known as "Elves" in their natural habitat. With a thirst for gold, adventure and big game, these brave pith-helmeted explorers return, blunderbusses in hand...
    Pictured: Shave 3 feet off and you have yourself a dwarf. Bully MacTavish, 3rd Earl of Konugsanshire. Not pictured is his native manservant, guide and porter, Bitterman (formerly known as Illyllyndyl of Sylvyllindil) a savage he took it upon himself to "civilize".

    I see a few problems. It says the elves chased them off, that can't be right. And that bit about parallel to the British Empire? No, by they they'll have machine guns. No, space flight. They might be a bit similar to a Scotsman in space. Well, with sport events like the caber toss, they'd be doing a lot of Squats.

    Why not call them that, Squ-

    Mutton Chops are when the facial hair actually resembles a Mutton Chop.

    I think this falls into Irony since you managed to do that with a picture of Burnside.

    Got me thinking of a colonial D&D setting where the humans are the stereotypical savages/natives to be civilized and pacified. So your average human nation is still in the bow-and-arrow stage when the Dwarves come in with gunboat diplomacy and afternoon tea, or you're forced to work on a plantation for Elvish masters.

    In order for this to work, the setting needs to be pretty low-magic I think since magic can equalize differences in technology very easily. Or just restrict access to magic for humans.

    But OK, Dwarves = British Empire, Elves = French Empire... Orks = Spanish Empire and Halflings = Italian City-states?

    The elf panted heavily under the weight of his master's baggage, and the pile of cases in his arms obscured his vision. The master's voice picked at his sensitive ears with unnecessary volume. “Pick up the pace, Bitterman, the game is afoot you know!”
    “Sir, it is inadvisable-” Bitterman stopped to catch a fallen racket with one foot, and carefully raise it up to his fingers, “-to pursue the Pugami in this terrain, at this time of day, they will smell us coming from miles away, we'll be walking into an ambush,”
    “Nonsense old chap, nonsense, these Pugami orcs are savages, they couldn't ambush their way out of an overturned tea saucer, much less pull a fast one on a MacTavish!” Bitterman sighed. Master Bully was rather proud of his heritage. Being the XVIIth Earl of Konugsanshire might have meant a lot back in the Dwarifish Isles, but here it just meant he had to introduce himself twice when people forgot.
    “Sir, perhaps-”
    “Not now Bitterman, I think I see them up ahead, put the luggage down, we'll make camp here to observe them, get a feel for the enemy, don't you know.” Bitterman carefully set down the leather suitcases, and heaved the immense pack off of his aching back. He hadn't seen where they had been going, through the magnitude of his load, but now he realized that they were atop the plateau, under scarce tree cover, and likely visible to every orc on the savannah.
    “Sir, perhaps this is not the ideal location, we are very visible at this-”
    “Not now, Bitterman, I'm conducting Reconnaissance.” Bully said, waving the elf off. Bitterman sighed, and set about gathering fuel for some tea.
    Bitterman had been a scholer once, back in the Gray Marsh. He had studied the standing stones of Old Osterth, and seen the sunken pillars of the great lost elven city of Aaladil. Now he was making tea for a dwarf in a silly hat. Could things get any worse?

    “I think that bloke saw me.” Master Bully said, almost inaudibly. Bitterman sat up straight, he could hear the spears whistling, even at this distance.
    “SIR,” he cried, spinning about and leaping to knock the dwarf down. A spear lanced over his head, right through the air where Bully's had been a moment before, and buried itself in the hard dirt behind them. A piercing war cry filled the air, and then another, and then a hundred more.
    “Blast it Bitterman, you've gotten yourself seen!” The dwarf shook his jowls angrily, and turned to look at the green tide surging up the hill towards them. “Now we're in it. Load my other rifle, by thunder, we'll show them what it means to tow about with a MacTavish!”
    "Sir, there might be hundreds," Bitterman said, though he was already feeding the dwarf's iron-dragon the black powder it so greedily consumed, being sure to whet its appetite by pouring some into the tasting-dish near the stock.
    "Pish posh!" Bully said, and with a roar fired off his blunderbuss. Bitterman winced, his sensitive ears rang painfully, and he paused a moment to stuff some cloth into them before handing the master his weapon.
    "Good shot, sir," he said, automatically as the dwarf fired aimlessly into the horde. An orc fell. But there were hundreds more...

    This is all kinds of awesome as long as you don't pull any "other species are human ethnic groups bullshit". What I mean is, give different species their own ethnic groups. Like said before, both french elves and delicious brown elves exist, they just live in different places. Same with orcs, maybe have viking-esque gray orcs who live in frozen wastelands.

    Pic related, it's a french elf.

    LAST WEEK, ON BULLY & BITTERMAN,
    “Pick up the pace, Bitterman, the game is afoot you know!”
    “Sir, it is inadviseable to pursue the Pugami, they will smell us coming from miles away!”
    “Blast it Bitterman, you've gotten yourself seen!”
    “Sir, there must be hundreds!”
    “We'll show them what it means to tow about with a MacTavish!”
    AND NOW, THE EXCITING CONCLUSION!
    “Wot ho you rapscallion!” Bully cried, as he bludgeoned the savage under the chin with the butt of his longarm. Bitterman was hastily reloading the blunderbuss, a tooth bounced its way down the horned barrel. He didn't bother extracting it, this dragon would eat anything. The orcs had chased them from their makeshift camp, but up a small hill with only one easy entrance, a choke-point that Bully was holding handily. Bitterman paused a moment to watch the dwarf slug it out. For all his talk of sophistication and refinement, the dwarf was still very much a dwarf. The steel bayonet on the end of his rifle was wet with blood, and a small pile of dead orcs lay at the foot of his held pass. An orc threw a spear, the dwarf deflected it and fired back, taking the top half of the greenskin's head off. Bitterman restrained himself from crying out in victory. He shouldn't be rooting for the dwarf, certainly not for this dwarf... But then again, orcs weren't exactly friendly to elves either.

    “Master, your weapon!” Bitterman yelled, and quickly exchanged weapons with the dwarf.
    “Pull back,” Bully said, and fired the hand-cannon into a mess of orcs as they swarmed up the path, tired of coming one at a time, “Draw your sword!”
    “Yes sir!” Bitterman said, his stomach quaking. The dwarf backed up the hill, and drew a curved saber from his side. Bitterman, swallowed, and pulled his own longsword from his back. The orcs teemed up through the pass, and arrayed themselves before the bereft companions. There was a moment of silence. Bully drew his dragoon pistol, and took a deep breath. The orcs now numbered three dozen before them, and rattled their shields terribly with their spears.
    “Master Bully?” Bitterman said, as he tightened his grip on his blade.
    “Yes, Bitterman?” Bully said, pulling back the hammer on his pistol.
    “It's been... fun, sir. An honor.” he said, grimacing. He felt his ears burn, but they were about to die... so what the hell.
    “That is has, Bitterman. But fear not, we'll meet again on that great savannah in the sky!” Bully roared the last word, and fired his pistol, six times in rapid successon as he charged. Bitterman steeled himself, and charged as well...
    >> Anonymous 07/22/09(Wed)06:35 No.5224543
    Only to be thrown from his feet by an explosion! In the midst of the orcish lines, first one, then a second, and then a flurry of lead that felled their first rank! The orcish horde quivered and broke, and a bugle split the air.
    “By God, the cavalry has arrived!” Bully laughed, waving his helmet in the air, “the 52nd Dragoons, Wooster must have made it after all! I knew the bastard would pull through!”
    “That he did sir!” Bitterman said, struggling to his feet. The red-clad cavalrymen, dismounted, charged up the hill firing pistol and slashing with shining blade. The orc retreat turned into a route, and the Pugami fled into the savannah. The Dragons did not give chace. Wooster, his helmet underneath his arm and his eerily clean-shaven face split with a grin, approached spinning a pistol on one finger.
    “Jolly good of them to line up for us like that.” He said, gesturing to the mound of perforated orcs that had one moment ago been certain doom to the two adventurers.

    “Well, you know what they say, a Wooster never breaks a promise.” he replied. And the three of them laughed.
    “Sir,” Bitterman said quietly, “we should probably pursue, if we are to find the Idol.”
    “Yes!” Bully said, spinning and thrusting a finger into the air, “Yes indeed! Good man, dear Elf, good man! Gather your things, tea can wait! The game is afoot good fellow, the game is most certainly afoot!”

    Humans should be either germans or russians, and zulu or other bantus. And some kinds of native american. Maybe the humans are the maya mixed with tupi. And then for the desert lands humans should be ancient persia, most human of all ancient civilizations. Or maybe byzantium.

    Russia could have a lot of humans but be ruled by races that come from humans like vampires and lycanthropes, lording over them while needing them for food and breeding, but then it would probably be too much like Uberwald.

    Feudal necromancers hunt their lowlands between the mountains for human villages. Sword Saints are holy warriors sworn by the goddess of light to drive away the evil necromancers. Often villages will sacrifice several people a year as servents to their necromantic daimyos. In the north there is an independent kingdom of free humans.

    Are there actually Giants in Patagonia?
    Eskimos are Walrus-folk.
    Some Arabs are Djinn and intelligent Ghouls.
    Mongols are centaurs.
    Irish are Drow and Leprachauns. (Look up Celtic myth for great justice)

    Wait, isn't Ireland under Dwarf rule being part of the British Empire?

    Doesn't mean the Drow are happy about it.
    And the Leprachauns would be the fey-ish Dwarven landlords.

    So what should Native Americans be?

    I thought for a second basically they are Werepeople. Like a whole lots of different Weres, werecoyotes, werebears... But then I think that sounds too much like Otherkin faggotry. Anyone else have any other ideas?

    Which could mean that Bitterman is actually a Drow.

    Probably a Leprechaun.

    I think we've done most countries. Any that we've missed? Did we do Germany yet?

    A fading power, but I vote the Dutch/Netherlands be Gnomes. It is a mercantile Empire, so it seems fitting.

    ok, we made a shit-ton of shit. But some one needs to summerise and edit it.

    guys remember we aren't just supposed to make specific countries into fantasy races.

    Humans are the unloved, bastard children of Dwarves and Elves. They've only a handful of their more useful traits and most of their unsavory ones.
    Also, writefaggan up some shit for this.
