You covered a massive amount of ground in one page, literally! A fantastic space dwarf story with a ton of wonderful descriptions. Fantastic work!

Man personally I'm really keen on finding out how the Havoc got stuck in there in the first place

Cool story!

Sometimes faster-than-light travel is a little more art than science. I'm glad you liked the story!

I’m a simple man.

I see space dwarf story. I click on it. I like it.

All that in mind, I really wished I was seeing it through one of the character’s eyes. It might have been intended, but it felt detached and too impersonal. I wanted to have stronger feelings for the dwarves.

Developer

I think that definitely would've made for a much better story in hindsight. Oh well, there's always next jam. Thanks for reading!

leave it to dwarves to discover a glowing underground paradise and treat it as a mining problem within five minutes. the story is direct, but the escalation is clear and fun. i also adored the bleak little punchline of the failed heroic sacrifice only making the problem worse. poor domina.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I thought that the punchline was the perfect grimdark twist to a story that was doomed from the start.

But then they meet a wizard who tells them they cannot pass ;) That was a really fun take on a classic trope, good job!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

The greed of Dwarves always leads them to their doom. 

I would really like to see this as a story introduction to a campaign. You know the BBG are multiple, powerful and dwarves, so stubborn as hell. 

The flow was really nice

I've been playing Dwarf Guilds a lot in my Firefight games (and winning a lot with them, too). I definitely enjoyed putting them in their place a bit - it's grimdark, after all! Did we expect a happy ending?

Thanks so much! I can't take all the credit - I did put a couple of other eyes on it before submission. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
