Who's from the UK?

[Erekose]

I live in Hertfordshire (as well as various other planes of existance when I'm called ). I'm 37, married with a 2-year-old daughter who keeps me on my toes! For the past 7 years I've been working in outcomes research.

Since this thread is full of you guys, I have a question for UKers.

I was driving last night and an unusual thought came into my head, "What accect to English (or Ukers) RPGers use in their role-playing games." This because USers often use English accents in thier rpg games.

It may a bit a foolish question, but it struck me as odd, so there ya go.

That's easy, the English accent is so diverse that each race gets a different county.

Dwarves speak in west country accents and/or Scots accents
Humans speak in cockney
Elves speak the queen's english
Halflings speak in either South Wales accents or Yorkshire accents

The list is endless...

Oh, and always American for d20 Modern!

Cheers!

I see from your profile you're from France. Never mind, eh?

Oooh. And from a frog, no less.

Two fingers to you, my lad.

(And on a board like this, most people will even get the reference...)

Well when you put it like that, my age worry sounds almost trivial.

Happy to set your mind at rest

This is what I thought would happen. As to the others who answered, you,re correct, it's not "english" it's "an american trying to sound english" which I'm certain are two very, very different things.

Just thought I'd post here to say that I was expecting to see a lot of great cockney(sp) slang, and am sad to see none. Too bad.

'expecting to see a lot of great cockney(sp) slang'?

You're 'avin' a giraffe mate!!!

I live in Glasgow, Scotland, where I work as a web developer. I'm 34. I run a Silver Age Sentinels campaign and play in a DnD 3.5 Planescape campaign.

Apart from roleplaying my interests are superhero comics, comedy and trying to reduce my weight*.

*So far I've only managed to halt the increase, but it's a start.
