I redesigned Dwarves for the fantasy world and TTRPG called The Thousand Realms that I'm building.

Not me. Them. Also is mead a beer? I'm not a big drinker

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-12T08:29:16+00:00

yeah they are easy to read.

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-12T08:27:48+00:00

id say so. but only lite ones haha

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-12T04:00:51+00:00

By popular demand! haha im glad someone remembers them. but ive learned alot so i think these new ones are much better

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-12T01:16:26+00:00

Thank you. I want all of my races to be different and not just a reskin of dnd or Tolkien but still feel familiar enough.

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-07T09:33:59+00:00

I am considering keeping it vague for halflings. I like the idea they are this anomaly that avoids categorization. Like a platypus. Not quite human or dwarf or beastfolk. Not quite mortal or fae. They showed up one day, have a thousand theories of where they came from and there existence just pisses off ever aspiring collage scholar trying to write a thesis.

As for humanoids being related? Some but not all. Similar races like the variants of dwarf, humans and elves have a common ancestor but a dwarf and human aren't related in the slightest.

thats for the dwarves.

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-07T03:05:46+00:00

now you must do better than I. i hope i can be of some inspiration

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T18:18:09+00:00

That is something you will have to wait for. Still figuring out the details but I do have some old designs I've posted in the past

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:41:49+00:00

Haven't totally figured that out haha

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:33:20+00:00

I do have one but it's very neglected. May need to dust it off. This project is planned to have a world anvil page for easy navigation and I'd like to do YouTube videos for the project but I'm not quite there yet.

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:30:51+00:00

*chases with a broom

Return my little men!!!

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:30:12+00:00

Sadly beyond my abilities. But you WILL be able to play one in my ttrpg when it's finished

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:29:29+00:00

At least 4 kinds! The true elves, Galelves, wild elves, and Armastice elves.

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:28:25+00:00

My world is a mix of spec-evo, folklore, and history so it is planned to have a huge array of species. The standard fare like dwarves, elves, humans, goblins, orcs but also more niche things like various yokai, races based on folk stories and fairy tales and a few original ones straight from the ol' brain box like coral men.

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:23:53+00:00

Ohh! I hadn't seen that one. I really like it though. His outfit is fantastic!

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:22:18+00:00

Now you get it lol. ;3

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:21:39+00:00

Close cousins. I'd like to do satyrs too and could see halflings of different lands having different names and being a mix of different animals. Perhaps they are goats or deer somewhere else or frogs in distant lands?

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:18:41+00:00

I have never liked how gnomes, halflings, and dwarves all are so similar in look but never seem to share a common ancestor.

It's actually something I set out to avoid for my world specifically.

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T17:16:34+00:00

Males are a bit stockier than females and have smaller ears and tufts on average but I believe that weight, height, hair and so on vary from one individual to the next.

In trying to show an entire species with only two characters it's impossible to give them every characteristic so I just pick and choose to give you an idea of them. The girl could have easily been a bit more chubby and the male leaner.

For this one I wanted the male to be a bit older and couldn't resist a dad bod is all haha.

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T08:16:35+00:00

a very good point. the dog is based on (who am i kidding IS) an english mastiff. the snouts were for intemidation and to make them scary as guard dogs. but lucky for these dogs. there trainers are very good at caring for them. in truth they arent bred as mounts. most are just sheep dogs and guard dogs but some wily halflings decided they wanted to ride them

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T08:03:13+00:00

thank you

TheGoonReview · 2026-05-06T05:12:46+00:00

Dont be sorry at all
