Prime Directive! Because lets face it, Tellarites are dwarves.

I'm kidding. Sort of.

That does have a dwarf template listed in its table of contents according to its listing on this site--thanks! I don't have that book; I did see it for sale online (at much higher than the listed price), but Steve Jackson Games unfortunately describes the Third Edition book as out of print. I didn't see a Fourth Edition version; I wonder if there's a licensing issue there.

Seems plausible, though that's not needed to explain the lack of a fourth edition version. Loads of third edition books haven't been remade for fourth edition.

But licensing issues could mean that SJG won't ever be able to offer GURPS Myth in PDF or as print on demand.

The ownership of the Myth IP itself is really fuzzy (acquisitions, mergers, companies going belly-up, etc.), so licensing would probably be a non-starter these days. I will admit to paying more than I probably should have for my copy, but I have a weakness for the IP :D.

Now that I can get into my kids' room where it's stashed away... looks like the dorfs have Greed and Callous. Seems pretty much like "typical" dwarves (including a racial hatred for the not-Goblins of the setting).
