    I had such player at my table but it was more that they could ignore what they knew. So they still were doing perception checks and I was still responding but randomly, without saying it.

    Once, for a critical failure on a perception check, I said they saw the lord was too bright, too clean, and wait are those scales? Could be a dragonborn or even more? They spend the full enquiry rejecting the possibility to have a dragon in disguise. Sad for them.







  • You can. And by the way, check how French are doing accent in their series. Spoiler: they don’t. It’s seen as racist. Yes, the way other people are cherry picking other accents is seen as racist. Roger Murtaugh has no accent for example.

    Of course, it’s for fun you do it. Of course we still do funny things with accents. But in little groups where the context is clear (for fun or a group of racist shitbags). To quote a dead man (Desproges): “you can laugh about everything but not with everyone”. Thus not on a broadcasted channel.

    Just remember that there are other cultures.

    Hey, you see. I haven’t been offensive. It’s because I think that some times, it’s good to explain things in a detached way. Now, I can say that discussions about racism is just a joke in (current, let’s see if something better comes next) DnD. Not sure that accent is the problem: even when Darth Vador has a German accent to put a biiig clue of how the empire looks like the Nazis people are able to miss it.
