I dunno... That looks exactly like my crisp, clean Midwestern American accent from here...  Sounds that way when I read it as well.  ;)

Grammar, spelling and punctuation go a long way in any language/dialect/vernacular.

Also, there are special characters for the noises made by Americans when trying to pronounce Queen's English, not that they ever try.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

Offtopic: If we're going to write in our respective accents I will be forced to resort to Cockney rhyming slang and we all know how bad that'll be.

Ontopic: One thing I've found that spices up my Arena fights is a swarm of War Rhesus Monkeys, failing that any small trained animal, the resulting gibblet splatter is nice and occasionally they'll get lucky and mob an orc or a goblin. Might want to give it a try.

Pwede bang gumamit ng ibang lengwahe nalang? Ang panget kasi ang timpla ng Ingles sa dila ko. Hehehehe.

Back to English. Gobbos will only provide an interesting fight if you match them up with raw recruits, or things much weaker than they are.

Have you any Orcs?
