I am definitely going to have to change my ideas and have the submarine as a pre-closing vehicle recently brought out of mothballs=2E Submersible No1 (for such it is called) is, I think, making its maiden voyage on a mission for the high council of the Iron Mountain dwarves=2E
Keith's ideas of the pre-Thatcherite industrial relations model for Dwarfish society have appeal, though I think you could go too far; there shouldn't be too much social disruption=2E
Having said that I don't think the work programme runs completely like clockwork - the emergent behaviour within the World Machine (caused by Growth of course) is such that work schedules must be constantly revised=2E I see Quantity Surveyor and Planning Manager as important Gold Dwarf functions in any Dwarf group=2E Perhaps Dilbert should source material for any Dwarf campaign?
Also has anyone commented on the similarities with Paranoia?
