UESRPG 2e

This blog has rules for an unofficial Elder Scrolls based RPG. One of the things that always bothered me about TES is that they don't have dwarves. I have mostly wanted to play one of the following

1) A game that takes place during the War of the Crag in which the dwarves are fated to disappear around the time of the Battle of Red Mountain.
2) An alternate history in which the dwarves do not disappear.
3) An alternate history in a skyrim where the Dwarves come back, instead of the dragons, or perhaps WITH the dragons as a direct result of some screw ups involving the Psijic Order.

Long story short, I want to play a TES dwarf. The writer of the UESRPG facilitates this somewhat by having a supplement called Secrets of the Dwemer. It would seem as though lots of research went into this game, and i would like to try it out as a player.

EDIT: After reading the core book, I've also become interested in the possibility of playing an Imperial who wanted to escape the Tavern Life.

I've been doing a lot of reading up and watching videos on Dwemer, and it's almost like the developers really had something against dwarves. I was always annoyed by the fact that they were basically just another elf, only squat and bearded, but still an elf. The more and more I read, the more I get to feeling that I should probably just let the Dwemer die (um... unless someone's willing to play with the idea that some dwarves rebel against the idea of them being basically bearded elves. Maybe also there's some dwarves that come from some continent besides Tamriel on Mundus. Hard to say really).

In any case, I have made the Imperial depicted in the first post, and can even provide character art on request (although it basically amounts to taking a picture of my Skyrim character with specific equipment. I have Skyrim on console though, so screenshot is not practical).
