Dwarves or dwarfs?

A dwarf is mostly just a Dwarve upon reaching maximum ale capacity.

Real talk though.
I know we kid about Dwarves but any race or faction represented in a setting should be more than just DUR HUR LOOK HOW DRUNK I AM.
There has to be a balance between being a race of pudgy, grudge-bearing, beer loving humanoids with out becoming a joke.

Actually Tolkein's editor corrected Tolkein's "dwarves" to "dwarfs" but tolkein later realised the historically correct plural is "dwarrows".
