@ethanschoonover
I just woke up so be kind...is he IN a massive kiln or am I just still asleep? (^_^)*@hiisikoloart @ethanschoonover your sleepy eyes do not deceive you: this dwarven shopkeep has made his kiln into a stall. Mayhaps the heavy kiln door keeps out the monsters roaming this dungeon, mayhaps he just finds his kiln homely and cozy.

@ethanschoonover
That is an awesome kiln and your father doesn't look old enough to be an octogenerian...

@ethanschoonover I kinda see myself in this pic, 30 years from now
I don't do pottery and I don't have a kiln, but our abandoned earth cellar at the end of a tunnel looks quite similar. One could certainly set up a credible dungeon trading point in there. And I have plenty of time to learn pottery as well, although the exact trade is negotiable I suppose

So it is a safe mini-bunker if needed.

@hiisikoloart @ethanschoonover to make new earthenware the shopkeep must vacate the premises of his precious kiln for many hours. He lives in the constant delicate balance of having to expose himself to the lurking dangers of the dungeon in order to create new wares to sell.

Mayhaps he should hire some brave adventurers to keep him safe during those excursions. (^_^) Or a pet. Tamed monster, perhaps? -

@ethanschoonover He looks like a wizard from a game sitting in a cave with pots everywhere lol is this his workshop or did he get lost in a dungeon?

@ethanschoonover the kind of smithy that would require you a dragon's tooth to craft a weapon

@calvinball Okay, that is legitimately a great idea for the basis of a video game. That's a compelling mechanic.

@ethanschoonover At first I misread it as "unloading his poetry", and it still works

Like the one in Stardew Valley. Sits on a little chamber in a cave, and when you reach him, he sells stuff.
