BobGreenwade Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Re: Do you give differing accents to fantasy races? I once did a T&T one-shot where Dwarves had German accents, Elves had French, Hobbits had Cockney, Orcs had Russian, and Trolls (had they shown up) would have had cheesy Swedish accents. (It wasn't intended to be a one-shot. In fact, I don't think we ever got around to actually playing the adventure....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdoc Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Re: Do you give differing accents to fantasy races? Barbarians with thick southern accents. "Amoanna hurt y'alls purty bayud!" In our D&D current game, that's how the giant folk talk, with the added refinement that ettins have two names, leading to strange constructions like Billy-Bob and Bobby-Joe, etc. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curufea Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Re: Do you give differing accents to fantasy races? Mind you, ever since reading the book "Dwarves" I have tended to regard Dwarves as germanic Prior to that I always thought them Norse.

Suggested for humorous effect: Dwarves - Pennsylvania Elves - California surfer Orcs - Tennessee hillbilly Halflings - Texan Trolls - Brooklyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJoe3 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Re: Do you give differing accents to fantasy races? Suggested for humorous effect: Elves - California surfer Trolls - Brooklyn Flip these. Male trolls talk like surfers, female trolls talk like Valley Girls, and elves have a Brooklyn accent.

Curufea Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Re: Do you give differing accents to fantasy races? Speaking of Troll - we had a lot of fun (until it got too annoying for the GM) speaking Trollish in one of our fantasy games. It was a form of Pig Latin - we'd just end every sentence with "thwock" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
