i like to imagine they dont have a concept of gender and only care about sex if they wanna have children

I read about a version (don’t remember where) of dwarven reproduction where two (or more) dwarves lovingly carve their offspring from stone and then dwarven magic brings it to life. Therefore gender didn’t matter at all

In the TTRPG Troika, dwarves reproduce asexually through sculpting another dwarf and one of the character backgrounds was a "derivative dwarf" who was so poorly made that they had a stealth bonus against dwarves as they did their best to ignore their existence entirely. Like a whole race composed entirely of art snobs

damn, i love this. now i feel like a basic bitch for even assuming dwarves would reproduce sexually or even have something such a sex or gender

The adventurers walked through the ancient dwarven halls. Lining the sides of the hallway were statues of... things, not quite person-shaped, but made with vaguely recognizable arms, legs, and faces.

"Keep your eyes open" said Meldorn. "A fellow dwarf has been living alone here. But maybe a little too alone [ahem] if you know what I mean. Don't touch them."

That's official DnD lore for Azer.

Made, Not Born. Azers don't reproduce. They are each crafted from bronze by another azer and imbued with a portion of the crafter's inner flame. Each azer is sculpted with unique features. This crafting process limits the growth of the azer population and is the primary reason that these creatures remain rare.

i'm torn between "agender with magical nonsexual reproduction" and "all hermaphrodites, fully aware of this, and violently homosexual" like bortus and klyden

I dunno, Klyden REALLY hated Bortus' mustache for the brief time he had it.

I like the idea of fantastic race, especially the one living multiple century having a more magic way of reproduction.

Most armor has plenty of room for boobs.

I'd bet dwarven life would be cool if you cpuld have a good long lifespan with good worklife balance, creating awesome legendary weapons for enjoyment
