One of the features of the module was a speeder bike gang that at one point would get into a dirty race with the PCs. The gang's leader was named "Big Giz", and I made the mistake of pronouncing this with a soft 'j' style G, instead of a hard G - several times.The first time, there were a few snickers that I figured were about other side conversations that were going on - we all tend to sort of multitask during the games. As things went on, this grew more pronounced, but I remained oblivious until finally it came to a point in the game where one of the players had to announce an interaction with the gang leader, and used the name, fighting laughter through pronouncing it the same way I was. The room just completely came apart. THEN, they had to EXPLAIN to me WHY they were laughing - I hadn't even been thinking that way at all - and that just made things worse. I don't think the session really came back together for the rest of the day.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /></blockquote>
