Fantasy world in which Dwarves are not motivated by greed or love of gold, only by a profound scientific enthusiasm for geology.
I’d love to see this implemented, especially as TTRPG start becoming more self-aware of their racist / sexist foundations and start working to better themselves.
The legendary Dwarven treasure is not a horde of gold and gemstones, but a paleontology museum with a vast collection of rare and exquisite fossils. Dwarven universities specialize in the natural sciences, Dwarven economies based on the trade of interesting rocks and minerals, Dwarf detectives able to identify different muds and soils on sight.
“You said there were precious stones in here.”
“… yes? These stones hold pieces of ancient life in them; what could possibly be more precious?”
This is a Good Post, especially because it reminds me of that scene in LotR where Gimli waxes poetic about carefully carefully chiselling into caverns to bring out their potential beauty.
