    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??

          does your Nederlands influence your Engels?

          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.

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