Too Many Halfling Haberdashers! New Hobbit Jobs

First of all, I have had—let’s face it—stupid players ask me what a hobbit is in a DCC game. It’s a word for halfling, dumb-dumb. Don’t let Tolkien’s lawyers rob you of it. We got the Denham Tracts on our side.

Second, DCCRPG tends to produce demihumans with the same job over and over. I’m sick of it! Here’s d50 new hobbit jobs.
