IRL Moria. Just make a big fucking dwarven keep IRL in the cascades or the himilayas or norway or literally anywhere idc. Carve a massive stone complex into the side of a mountain, dammit

This one, maybe actually a good idea depending on how catastrophic climate change will be.

Easier than going to Mars

All right! On this note.

I'm dismantling all of the world's urban cities, residential neighborhoods, roads, and other global city infrastructure. The world will undergo a Global Grassification effort for all previous cities, suburban areas, and otherwise abandoned countryside, and so on, to be covered in rolling, green hills.

Everyone will now live in Global State provided Hobbit Holes, receive two (2) barrels of pipe weed per home, and one (1) livestock animal along with ten (10) seeds to start a small garden [conscientious objectors to the livestock animal, such as vegans, shall instead be entitled to receive double their allotment of pipe weed and seeds] in order to live a rural Hobbit lifestyle. Hobbit towns will have and only allowed to build one (1) public square for gathering as well as trading, one (1) designated area for festivals and public celebrations, one (1) school with kindergarten to postgraduate education, one (1) town library, one (1) medical clinic with free care, and two (2) pubs. Let's all have peace and quiet.

Any disturbers of peace and quiet shall be summarily executed by the Global Hobbit State.

oh hell naw i am not about to shave off my beard longer than i am just to live in a "hole" instead of "glorious stone keep kept for several ages by uncountable ancestors"

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

Beards and other forms of dress or appearance are welcome and shall not be discriminated against.

Otherwise, do not make me tap the sign.

All disturbers of peace and quiet shall be summarily executed by the Global Hobbit State.

"uncountable ancestors?" Oooh that's not very dwarfish of you. You should be able to count them all.

Fascist Hobbits was one of the wildest things MtG ever conjured up.

Oh, please share this with me.

So the kithkin (basically hobbits) in the Lorewynn have a borderline gestalt conciousness. It mostly helped them to watch each other's backs and stick together comfily in little hamlets. When the events of Shadowmoor happen and everything gets scary and weird, they got super paranoid, resulting in these hamlets turning into military states.
