my million-dollar fantasy setting idea, based on a tumblr post:
-high fantasy setting but humans have southern US accents instead of European
-dwarves have midwestern accents
-elves have brooklyn accents
-orcs are appalachian mountain people. their war chants are backed by banjo and slap bass. at least one background orc is always wearing flannel and overalls buttoned on only one shoulder.
-dark elves have british accents but they're all chavs
@gravezwave ok but if we get real into it most of the english-coded medieval fantasy races should actually have boston accents
@oceangrunge the human empire has boston accents, the more fringe human societies have have southern accents, and any swashbuckling rogue adventurers speak Cajun French
@gravezwave it would probably be football
@oceangrunge your football or my football tho
@gravezwave THE REAL ONE
@oceangrunge ok but consider: orc rugby players
@gravezwave YOU'RE JUST PLAYING RUGBY WITH SHORTER SIDES AND MORE PADDING
@oceangrunge alternatively, new york/boston split between two cultures of the same race, complete with Yankees vs Red Sox equivalent of... gladiatorial combat or whatever the most popular sport is
