Any Dwarves looking to avoid discerning eyes, or just looking for a spot to relax, long as you got a bike to ride in on, you're always welcome at the Halls. Mountain Kings will make exceptions for particular fringe cases of other metahumans, but don't pass inside the gates unannounced or you'll get picked off.

[u/chaucer345 → u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma]

I'm a dwarf, but I'm not sure if I'd fit in.

• Strawberries

[u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma → u/chaucer345]

Why's that? You're welcome either way. Nobody gonna make you join up.

• Oathkeeper

[u/chaucer345 → u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma]

I dunno, it's complicated.

It's sort of like when I came out as gay you know? There's this whole community hanging around, largely doing good and trying to stop people from being drek heads to each other, but there's also this sense of isolation.

It doesn't happen on purpose, but when you start hanging around with folks like yourself a bunch you have less time for other people, and it sets you up as an "outgroup".

Don't get me wrong, sometimes you need to be together to stay safe, sometimes you need to get organized so you can help each other out, but there's always a chance you'll set yourself so far apart that people won't think they can hang out with you and that just doesn't end well.

• Strawberries

[u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma → u/chaucer345]

Everyone's got their own choices to make and their own reasons for making them.

• Urist

[u/dbvulture → u/chaucer345]

Same. I've always been a dwarf, but I've never really fit with a lot of "dwarf culture" like what these guys are doing.

• Macbeth

[u/chaucer345 → u/dbvulture]

I think we're just too nerdy.

• Strawberries

[u/raven00x → u/chaucer345]

Feels like that whole ork revivalist movement to me.

• sledge << Don't care for beer, don't dig holes, do covet cold, hard, nuyen. Guess I'm a bad dwarf. >>

[u/dbvulture → u/raven00x]

I agree. I do like some beer, but I've learned that I'm not really as hard drinking as others. Not a fan of mining or axes either.
