It really does help with gameplay.Regarding NPCs, I always try to make each one sound or appear to be different, through voices or more frequently mannerisms. I assume a (dodgy) English private school accent for one character and switch to a West Country accent for another. This has always happened - I had one NPC in my previous campaign who spoke with a distinct cockney accent and had inflections all his own - the PCs always knew when he was around.Regarding my PCs, I do it when appropriate. If I take a character in a real-world setting I assume the appropriate accent - in Shadowrun for instance, I usually talk with an American accent (not hard to fake given the amount of US TV we get this side of the equator) and once with a hearty Glaswegian accent. Scottish seems to be popular with our group, for some reason - nobody seems to really know why. Irish, too. Maybe it's because anything said in those accents sounds cool and/or funny.</blockquote>
