I've been a long time Elf lover. But once I picked up this book I changed my tune. What I once considered drab angry little creatures are actually quite interesting and enjoyable. I would recommend this book to any player but more so for a DM since it will help flesh out any dwarf holdings in your land.

This AD&D (2nd edition) book is an in-depth examination of that pillar of fantasy literature - Dwarves. It has chapters on dwarven mythology, subraces, sociology (so you can better understand how dwarves think), character creation, proficiencies (26 new or specialized ones), kits (24 new ones!), personalities, mining (complete with rules for running your own mine), equipment, strongholds, and designing dwarf campaigns.

Yep, this fantastic book has it all! If you run an AD&D dwarf character, or you are just interested in new kits and ways of running campaigns, then I highly recommend this book to you. It is definitely a must-have for AD&D (2nd edition)!

I bought this book when it first came out and just loved it. There is so much detailed about dwarves in here and different kinds of dwarves that can be played. If you have a dwarven campaign going this is definitly worth having!!

The author has a good solid grasp on what it means to be a dwarf. Their society in a fantasy world, and how, why, where, and when they do what they do best.
Whether you want to do some fantasy writing, add a new dimension to your campaign, or just want to play a believable dwarf, this is the book you will need.
Its not easy in our world of reality to grasp what life is like under the mountain, but not to worry, with this addition to the 2nd ed system it will be easy enough to see the joy of dwarven life from behind the froth of your mead.

This was the first A D and D thing I bought I think it was good especially for anyone that plans on making a dwarven charecter. I know a guy who did not read it and he made a gully dwarf assassin! This was a good supplent as far as they go it is way better than the wizard's handbook. If You see this book and you like dwarves pick it up!
