Over at the old school
AD&D fansite
Dragonsfoot, there is an amusingly useful new article by
S. J. McKenzie entitled
Half-Dwarves: and why not? As the title implies this is a clever look into crossbreeds across all standard D&D races with a focus on dwarven mixing. The article even includes game rules for a few of these like the "Half-Dwarf", "Dwelf", "Wild-dog Dwarf" and my favorite the "Gnarf". The information is not setting specific so that makes it perfectly suitable for anyone who would like to drop some non-standard dwarf races into their
World of Greyhawk campaign. And why not? Greyhawk is a setting that already has a myriad of subraces and crossbreeds to speak of, but not much for fans of dwarf characters. Now you can spice up the dour dwarven race. Check it out!

I've often wondered about this... I want to make a Dwarfling. Dwalfling? Hobbarf? Dwobbit?
My only Living Greyhawk campaign character was a half-dwarf. Or so he always claimed, in-character. Had any DM insisted on checking my character sheet, he would have found Guillaume was, game mechanic-wise, just a short human.
Why does it say for 1st edition AD&D, when the stats in the article are clearly 3/3.5?
Nonetheless, I think it's a good little article and appreciate that you pointed it out.
