I would prefer something that is slightly more different from humans biologically, since I mean, they're just short humans.  Having the same cultural motifs as dwarves, being the emphasis on mining and underground living, would be absolutely fine.
[/quote]My dwarves are quite different from humans in style, albeit not exactly to the same extend as Forgotten Realms went.
Also mining or metalcrafting is only something they learn later. I thought we are starting at the prehistoric times.
At best I'll have my dwarves craft more elaborate tools. Hell, given their obsession with crafting I can see the dwarves using stone weapons when other races already adopt primitive metal arms.
