Anyone getting lots of use out of their Dwarf boxed set? I'm on the fence whether to buy it. I'd like to hear if any of you are using it much.

I was thinking that if I do I'll run a campaign, such as "Axe of the Dwarvish Lords" from the old AD&D game.

So far we haven't had anyone roll up say a rune smith or an iron breaker, but we do have a dwarven watchmen who love to drink, and therfore loves the drunken cards. And if nothing else being one who has not played any of the previous editions and a spotty view of the world from a brief experince with the minis game having the info on dwarfs and the region in general has been very useful.

I've used one of the one-sheets in it. I'm a consumer wh... and will buy every box that comes out but that one was certainly worthless for me. At least for now.

Though the one-sheets in it are quite cool.

I second that. Including the consumer...

Dwarf & Skaven nut here, so I would have bought it either way. I've also got a dwarf mercenary that will turn ironbreaker soon. So it's nice to have the advanced classes available for Ironbreaker.

I WISH I could play for once though, I absolutely love the Thane career

Let's say for now no real use yet, (except the drunken cards) but bought with an eye to the future.

I thought the background on Blackfire Pass itself fairly interesting.

Dwarf part is some what limited use, but could be very useful to flash out any dwarf pc or npc.

I can see myself using the drunken cards, the 3 new talents and the miner career, but that's about it. I'm a completist and although I wish there had been more about Dwarven society and non 'epic' careers (i.e. less 'dragon-iron-rune-slayer-bearer' and more 'miner, shepherd, runner', etc.) I didn't buy it expecting this to be a supplement that was really meant to appeal to me.

Really enjoyed the Book of Grudges. I am running a game which has a female Dwarf character in it. This box set has given me plenty of ideas for story arcs for the Dwarf. Such as, is she running away from being married to a Long Beard, did she get her Kings permission, what about her families? Is her father disgraced enough to join the Slayer Cult, does the FEmale Dwarf join the slayer cult...

Here is a crosslink that may be helpful to the dwarf theme: forum.rpg.net/showthread.php

Its a thread on dwarf keep maps. Post #7 has a fantastic map that would be great for any karak!
