You'd be fine in our group, as our characters have British accents all the time.it's especially jarring when the character suddenly acquires a British accent.

Related: Speaking through mechanics in order to make narrative contributions is something I work to push my players' thinking on. Contributing to the story using, for example, the cookie-cutter descriptions of spells in the PHB results in an awkwardly prescriptive tale.Mechanics disassociated from narrative are always the main threat to my own suspension of disbelief.
LOL I kinda sorta maybe do this same thing (in a less egregious way).The DM did not bother giving names to (unimportant) NPCs. Instead he called them Guard 1, Guard 2, Barmaid 1, etc. Terrible!
Though from a metagaming perspective, it made it easy to see which NPCs were significant and which ones were not. If an NPC had a real name it was like okay, this one is important to the story. lol.
This!I operate D&D as if the PCs are in a movie. Important NPCs get names, just like in a movie.

[MENTION=6786839]I am perfectly fine with your halfling pikes, they will have about the size of a human spear and be totally useless to said halfing other than in a Formation. I am not even debating damage die there which should be 1d8 of course instead of 1d10

Based on time spent in Britain and Ireland, it occurs to me that everyone across the pond thinks all Americans speak like a clueless valley girl ("like, ohmygod") or a dumb cowboy ("howdy y'all"). LOLAre there passages from USA mass media, which people in Britain quote, with a corresponding accent shift? Or do you only quote Aaaahnold's lines from Terminator and so forth, thus borrowing from USA media but never in a USA accent?
When we are roleplaying a tavern scene and I dont have ceramic or wooden mug for my bear.
Why does your bear need a mug?
Because I treat my Animal Companion as an equal: if I'm drinking, he's drinking!Why does your bear need a mug?
What do you play instead of D&D? Or do you replace hps, AC, turn-based initiative, &c, with less disassociated alternatives?Mechanics disassociated from narrative are always the main threat to my own suspension of disbelief.
" My name's not important. You must come with me..."If the Players are to make a conversation DM should eventually provide a Name, esecially if they are to talk to them more often.
But equally interesting is: "My Name is of no concern to you!" Or "Why do you want to know my Name?"
What do you play instead of D&D? Or do you replace hps, AC, turn-based initiative, &c, with less disassociated alternatives?
I doubt anyone has tried to convince you that you do. It just indicates that it's some other quality - one that hps &c have, or that mechanics you label dissociated have, in addition to being barely as dissociated as hps.Despite all the attempts to convince me otherwise, I've never had a problem with hp, ac or initiative.
