The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Same, but there's a group who does Tolkien poems and it rules

The Rankin-Bass movies do pretty well as well. Not spectacular or anything, but they remind me of the melodies my dad would do when he read the books to us. Also some of them are sung by Glenn Yarbrough who was a great folk singer. One of my dad's favorites and I think he influenced the reading by complete coincidence, Dad started reading the books to us before we saw the movies.

WoW Gnomes aren't anything like that at all, though. They're largely more technologically advanced and smaller dwarves. They've never had any 'their tech doesn't work'.

Maybe they inspired WoW goblins, but I really don't see it either as the joke with their tech is that somehow their crazy low-tech stuff matches up with advanced Gnome stuff despite being slapped together.

EDIT: Aw poo poo, I didn't notice this thread had already fallen by the wayside. Um, hope things get better so you can post more, OP!

In general when not played for laughs gnomish vs goblin engineering is how much it looks like it was built on purpose. Gnome stuff has crackles of electricity and chrome while goblin is coalpunk.

When it's the punchline (or player-made) gnomish engineering is "It'll do something, but it may not do what you wanted" while goblin is "it blows up every time, but half the time the proper target is what blows up."
