Line 241:
* ''[[Twice Blessed]]'' has Vadim as a main character, who meets most dwarf stereotypes, but comes from a Russian-type culture and has a matching accent, drinks Vodka, uses the word "brother" in place of "laddie", and never seems to feel the need to point out that he is a dwarf.
* ''[[Unforgotten Realms]]'' averts this about as far as is possible. ''Any'' character which isn't obviously another species is invariably a Dwarf. Probably the only character who even has a beard is Sir Schmoopy of Awesometon, one of the two main player characters.
* The Dwarves in ''[[Looking for Group]]'' are either [http://www.lfg.co/page/4/ classic] axe-brandishing, hard working sort exceptionally skilled architects, blacksmiths, and sappers. Or [http://www.lfg.co/page/221/ the other sort] ([http://www.lfg.co/page/175/ Clan Breem] aka "Diggers") - evil, pierced punks wearing black leather [[Spikes of Villainy|with spikes]], who are very, very good at digging and artillery.
** And Pella is quite shapely and fan-servicey, not fat and dumpy like dwarven females are so often depicted as.
* Although we have not actually met any dwarves in ''[[Digger]]'', they seem to go at least a little off model - they apparently use large amounts of magic in the construction of their underground cities. Digger the wombat does not approve, as that magic tends to wear off after a while if not carefully maintained, leaving abandoned dwarf cities as veritable deathtraps.
** Come to think of it, the wombats seem to fit the traditional dwarf mold pretty well, themselves.
