A consistent verbal style for each fantasy race in your campaign can give your world weight and reality. So here are a few accent ideas for your game:

**Kobolds** talk like old-timey New York cabbies ("'Ey! Joo guize see dat jamook over dare? I dink he needs a beat'n")

**Goblins** have London street accents ("Oy, easy on the ahm, guv'nuh! It's a faih kahp!")

**Troll** speak like Grimlock!

**Orc** speak like old-time native American.

All **slaad** are played by Peter Lorre at his creepiest.

**Sahuagin** have clipped Japanese accent with strong accent on the "Sssss."

All **giants** are played by James Earl Jones. Even the female ones.

Whereas all **vampires** are played by Morgan Freeman.

All **dragons** are played by Christopher Lee, Sean Connery, or Dame Judi Dench. Sit straight in your chair and cock your eye a lot.
