Dee or Die!! Do you say dee-6 or die-6?

[Django]

"D6" = "Dee Six"
"Bulette" = "Boo lett"
"Archon" = "Arr Konn"
"Barghest" = "Bar Guest"
"Drow" = "Dark Elf" <I dunno, I never liked the word 'drow'>
"Elminster" = "Munchkin Nancy Boy"
"Ixitxachitl" = "I can't be buggered to pronounce this one, so deal..."

 

[Masquerade]

I'm in the DEE crowd as well.

As far as the drow issue goes, I too rhyme it with "cow". I've always had the impression that "dro" was the more correct way of saying it (like in Woodrow), but in my games I always take the "cow" road. Also, I don't say "bulay" because I'm relatively fluent in French and pronounce French-looking words the French-sounding way.

I think Yrthak would be either "yer-thak" or "ur-thak."

Worst monster name ever? Catobeplas. Just kinda rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

 

[Aeric]

"Ixitxachitl" = "I can't be buggered to pronounce this one, so deal..."

Ah, I forgot about the evil manta rays. Ok, that's definitely the worst monster name. At least catobeplas is moderately pronouncable by the average reader, even if it is a bit of a tongue-twister.

I read somewhere that it's pronounced "iks-iks-at-chit-ill," although I think it should be "ish-iks-at-chit-ill." Bloody hard to pronounce either way.

 

[Nellisir]

die is multiple dice, but dee.

Actually, "die" is singular, "dice" is plural. For instance, "you are throwing dice at my head", not "you are throwing die at my head".

I say "dee-six" also, unless I want to take the slow way, then I say "a six-sided die". But I also call Wizards of the Coast "Whotsee".

Blibdlploop (sp) Now there's a hard one. HellHound can tell us how to pronounce it though.

 

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

Actually, I always thought that one was pretty easy, Harlock.

Just make noises like dripping water, and you're pretty much there!

 

[Sejs]

"Ixitxachitl" = "Icky" or "Aztec Death Fish", depending on need for brevity.

 

[Herremann the Wise]

"Ixitxachitl" = "Icky" or "Aztec Death Fish", depending on need for brevity.

Continuing my lack of pronounciation form:

Iksy-tzar-chittle:
Where you try to roll the Iksy and tzar together somewhat so it flows a little better.

Herremann the Wise taking pronounciation to a new low... signing out.
Best Regards

I say Dee-20... but I also say 'roll a six-sided die"...
