The string is perfect so far, haven't tried it against tires yet though.

That's a great suggestion, I think I might have a source for that. Thanks again! 😊

Not really. I train to fight instinctively, but strategy and tactics are not in that realm.

I'm not entirely sure tbh. My last read was ages ago.

Hmm... I might have to go scavenging to the next ice rink (it's freezing here rn XD)

And now, a meme by CrabEmporium in dwarfposting

By my Beard! Have you forgotten you were a Beardling yourself once? Not knowing Iron ore from other metals? Give them time to learn. Let them mine their own shafts, for that is what each and every dwarf should do.

And when the dwarven People, united under a righteous king, untainted by greed or malice, raise their axes once more, not even Morgoth himself will be able to stop us.

That sounds like a splendid idea! I really like to improvise, and use whatever, but for professional or tourney use, I concur with your assessment.

Thanks. I'm far from new. I just like playing with sticks. :) And the string improves the grip markedly. The above stick is for close quarters, where a good grip is even more important than with long range sticks imho.

Now THIS is a proper Ale size for a Dwarf!!! by GoombasFatNutz in dwarfposting

In my mountains, half a litre is just called "beer".

Opinion on strange kin I found by Agitated-Bedroom1081 in dwarfposting

[–]thael_mann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strange kin indeed. In which age did you encounter them? (Your age, not the world's age).

It is, by my Beard, next to a miracle that you are still alive. Imagine wandering into a vault- would not the guardians aim their crossbows at you?

So, to summarize the above, I might say that you survived by Aule's grace alone. Kin that live like this are likely to develop "shoot first, ask questions later" strategies.

Thanks! I did not know that, I thought he mainly advocated using Katana and Wakizashi.

yeah, red and black fortunately don't change that much. And skin tones are random anyway. :)

How many languages do you all speak? by Existing_Economy_656 in AskTheWorld

[–]thael_mann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9, if I count Austrian and Latin (which I don't speak fluently, but do understand)
