Trollkin from Iron Kingdoms. They are what the name says: kin to trolls. About the same relationship as humans have to gorillas.

They retain a lot of the regenerative powers, so they’re very willing to settle things with violence, because hey, what’s regrowing an arm or two between friends?

They’re big, loud, rambunctious, deeply respectful of nature, and are basically Big Dwarves. Also orcs? They don’t really have an analogue, which is why I like them so much.

I have a tiny little idea bumping around my head for a setting where dragons are not only intelligent but are the apex species. I think it’d be cool to base them off solitary predators like bears, jaguars, etc, as it means they would hate cooperating but would grudgingly do so if necesaary.

Linux, as a tool explictly designed to empower the masses, is socialist.

This is only partially a joke.

Sauerkraut on pizza is amazing. Come to Minnesota and go to Red’s Savoy, it’s great.
