Nope, accents are fun, and I am not giving them up unless I just don’t feel like doing them.
For one thing, I worked hard at some of them.
For another, combining different accents with different vocal techniques and tones of voice give you a wider range of options. Even as a player that’s a good thing. As a DM, it’s even gooder.
And, again, fun. It is mind fuckingly awesome to run a table where three players are arguing with an entire room of people they have stolen from, and the players can tell who is calling their mother the town mule because every one of the NPCs is distinct. That shit is fucking hype.
It is also going to require a day to recover while sipping soothing beverages.
Is… is there some reason to read “How to do X without Y” as some kind of value judgement against Y? Because, like, some of us just can’t do accents. I can’t even do my own regional accent, and never have been able to. There being a resource for someone like me doesn’t really invite this “fuck you” attitude you’re bringing, dude, and frankly, it feels like you’re saying it to people like me when you’re coming after something that seems targeted at me.

No one’s saying you should…
You know, you’d think that an role playing community would have a sense of fun.
