NPC Dictionary of Name Pronunciation

WiredNerve · Dec 2, 2009

I am always fouling up names and such... Has anyone produced a pronuncation guide for WOTBS?

Morrus · Dec 2, 2009

I seem to remember Ryan clarifying some pronunciations in a thread a while back, but there's no guide. Any particular names you're having trouble with?

Most of the time it doesn't matter, as long as you're consistent.

How does one pronounce "Naem"?

Throat Warbler Mangrove

When I was trying to sound out Ragesia for the first time, I was stumbling over the words. My friend said something similar, "Dude, who cares, we won't know any difference."

Ouch.

Ruh- (like rough)
gee - (like geek)
zha - (like Polynesia)

Wow, I have been pronouncing that 'Ray-jis-E-uh'.

To my players, I am right. Unfortunately, I now know that deep down; I am wrong.

I'd pronounce it Ruh-gae-see-uh. I.e. as written

Note that I'm German, so 'as written' is quite unlike what a native English speaker would think.

@Jhaelen Apparently the German influence in Wisconsin extends beyond beer, brats and polka into word pronunciation as well

. Pronouncing "Ragesia" any other way seems ... off.

Just to confuse matters, in the trailer I think it gets pronounced Ra - jee - zee - uh.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as you're consistent it's pronounced however you like it best.
