Last night one player said of another, "wow, that cowboy accent drifted to southern real fast."

I was like, "we got a house rule: we don't talk about accent drift at this table, buddy"

I'm bilingual, and there are certain accents I can only do in Dutch, and certain accents I do only in English.

When I switched games with Dutch friends from an English to a Dutch GM, my friends were like "she does the BEST Russian accent".

Yeah sorry, I can literally only do it in English, just like my incredibly racist Arab accent only works in Dutch (and preferably not at all).

This is hilarious. Now I am uber curious what other accent/language combos there are. Also, does your Nederlands influence your Engels? I mean, it must a little, right? So what would a French influenced English language Russian accent sound like??

I'd like to think it doesn't, but yeah, I can ALWAYS hear when a dutch person speaks english, so it probably does. Also, "Dunglish" is one of funniest/worst accents.

What?!? That's the BEST part of dnd!!

We give the gm shit over this regularly, and it's so freaking funny.

That's fine, but I want my shy players doing more accents, so no one teases anyone about all our awful accents.

All my accents end up Irish/Canadian/South African hybrid.
