Mage or Witch Wording (for English speakers)
« on: April 14, 2014, 11:32:40 AM »
Maybe it is just my accent, since I do not have a speech impediment, but I find myself having trouble with "Mage or Witch" during game play.

It usually comes as out "Major witch".  Gets some funny looks, and only one figure gets passed.

Gets worse when time.  May be heard as "Wage or mitch".  Which generates even more funny looks from those around the table.  Even a mild application of disinhibiting fluid can accentuate the issue.....

I'm surprised the women hasn't added fuel to this, seeing it's a good male mage and an evil female witch.

*takes a few step back from the fire*

I agree, it is amazing how games can sometimes mirror life......

DUCK!
