I think folks want the Dwarves to have Norse accent but they all end up sounding like the Swedish chef so they go for Scots instead.
ReplyDeleteScottish dwarves are a big pet peeve of mine. My dwarves (and gnomes for that matter, which I conceive of as lowland dwarves) are all Germanic.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen 'The Dragon Prince'? In that one the Elves are Scottish, when they don't flub the accent.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about 'The Dragon Prince'. It looks interesting. I'll try to check it out!
DeleteUsing gruff Scottish accents for Elves and posh Oxonian accents for Dwarves would be fun. Maybe in my next D&D campaign...
