[QUOTE="Castellan, post: 528496, member: 639"] I know this is a topic that people come back to from time to time, but I'm wondering about a pronunciation issue. How do [B]you[/B] pronounce Illithid? Do you pronounce it [B]Ill[/B]ithid? Or Il[B]lith[/B]id? We're having a battle of the pronunciations in our gaming sessions, and I'd like to see what other people say. Our typical gaming sessions recently have gone like this: [B]DM:[/B] Okay, you've gotten into the [B]Ill[/B]ithid's secret laboratory. It appears to be empty. What would you like to do? [B]Players:[/B] Let's look around and see if the Il[B]lith[/B]id has anything we can use against him. [B]DM:[/B] Well, the [B][I]Ill[/I][/B]ithid has a large metal box on his desk. It looks locked. [B]Players:[/B] We need to be careful. Il[B][I]lith[/I][/B]ids can be pretty tricky. It might be trapped. [B]DM:[/B] Aaarrrrggghhh! It's [B]Ill[/B]ithid!!! [B]Players:[/B] Yeah, so anyway, where's this Il[B]lith[/B]id guy at, anyway? So, what do [B]you[/B] say? I'm perfectly happy to change what I say, as long as I'm saying it "right." Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
