It is becoming increasingly clear to me that I need to expand my social circle. Most people I'm in a position to see in real life regularly are filled with a lot of brainworms: owning property is seen as a goal that one would be crazy not to pursue, the police and military are seen as sacred institutions, and I even know a few trumpanzees. I need to make new connections, but I'm a weird suburbanite shut-in with a weird demeanor that is offputting to normal people, and I'm worried that trying to meet new friends through my existing friends will just further entrench me into the petite bourgeois crackershpere.

How do you meet based people when you're just far enough from the nearest city for regular travel back and forth to be inconvenient and are bad at making friends in the first place?

Try braiding the beard, getting a crystal necklace, finding some chunky metal accessories, and embroidering some patterns on the overalls. This should give a +5 to reputation with Dwarven factions and a -2 to reputation with the Chud Human faction.

No runes though, or it won't work. Hope this helps.
