Dwarves. They're most famous for two things - their ferocity in battle and their ferocity in drinking. Unfortunately, those two infamies occasionally join together. The shouts of drunk dwarves fill your ears, the scent of fresh ale surrounds you, and a chair comes hurtling your way, as you come to the belated realisation that you got caught in a dwarven tavern, just in time for a bar fight.

Well then. Let's get to it, shall we?

Rules:
1. Follow the basic RPG principles - no powerplaying, no godmodding and so forth.
2. Try to avoid posting the results of the actions - "I throw the table, knocking out fourteen dwarves" - and instead post just the actions.
3. Important actions will be decided through a d20 on random.org.
4. Stay in character. If your character is rough and uncouth, don't make them suddenly act nicely for no real reason.
5. This RPG is turn-based, so try to avoid posting multiple actions in one post.
6. Every character is a dwarf - the race, not the height. Keep that in mind when posting actions or making backstories or personalities.
7. One character per person maximum.
8. This is not a joke RPG, so joke or humorous signups will be rejected.
9. Have fun! :]

Sorry if it wasn't clear, but this isn't a joke RPG. Just added a rule to make that more obvious.
