This is true. Most folks ain't going to be able to use it accurately. Any use of dialect should be taken with a grain of salt. But I don't believe that means folks shouldn't try. Huckleberry Finn, Dracula, and The Wee Free Men would all be worth a lot less if the authors hadn't used dialect.

I absolutely agree with you.

Here are some characters that EJO suggested I share, from Station 2187 rp thread
Carlos Tripeio is a young man working as a translator aboard Station 2187. He was somewhat unaware of the true nature of what he had signed up for, and is rather scared of combat. His family were high-ranking servants of a prominent noble house, and he has great knowledge of etiquette. This knowledge, however, is rather useless in a battle. Intelligent and highly formal, he is a most unlikely occupant of Station 2187. He wears a pristine yellow uniform of the Diplomatic Corps.
Arthur DeTou is one of Carlos's oldest and closest friends, who also works about Station 2187. He is a mechanic with an often snarky sense of humour and a taste for practical jokes. Brave and loyal, he will protect his friend no matter what, though his impulsive nature can also get him into trouble with his superiors. He wears blue and white overalls.
A new tavern is about to hit Adohand's Kitchen. Set in the wonderful world of Avatar the Last Airbender, this tavern will give you the chance to play powerful benders and explore the world around you with your elemental magic.
This shall come out around the same time as the new live action Avatar series. Let's home it's better than the last live action remake.
I'm in the process of making a Tokyo Ghoul thread (separate from The Nexus). any helpful advice or tips?

Proud Wielder of the Quinques: IXA, Narukami, Yukimura 1/3, and Owl
This is The Cussin' Cogsmith. A well established inn, saloon, and gamblin' den, this place can satisfy all your needs day to day. And with a menu the size of of the Nebraska territories, you'll always leave satiated!
The bartender is a tall lanky man with a big mustache and an even bigger iron at his hip. He don't take nothing from nobody and ain't scared to exchange blows or shots. The dealer is a portly man of average height, a sneaky and sly look plastered all over his face almost constantly. He deals the games 'round these parts, blackjack and poker. Our doctor is a thinly framed woman with strength of body and of mind far beyond what she would appear to have. She pledged her soul to a celestial, and in return now she's the best healer this side of the Mississippi.
The building is a fine mixture of good ol' western sensibilities and steam-powered fixtures, some might call 'em robots, but we call em puffers for the constant small clouds of steam comin' out their heads. They do most o' the dirty work around here. Dishes, mopping up the blood from the last fight, etc. They also don't do too bad in a scrap with bandits.
tl;dr: MAGIC STEAMPUNK COWBOYS!
Characters: characters can be up to 10th level, no class or race restrictions but slightly low magic, it's a bit uncommon but certainly not a rare sight. Wild West themed, please and thank you, I just know someone's going to try to play a berserker viking gnome barbarian.
Rules:
Keep it PG-13. We don't run some filthy brothel here.
No pvp without consent. Both sides must agree if you want a good rough-and-tumble bar brawl.
No exclusion. No one is unwelcome out on the frontiers of the West.
Just be nice. Easy and simple.
Ask me (or another mod) if you want to run an encounter.
How to gamble:
Pick a game, blackjack or poker.
Place your bets. You must make your bets, and whoever bets higher, them's is the startin' price. This is the bare minimum to play the game, and both players must put in money for the startin' price at the beginning. If you can't pay, you can't play. Anyone can raise it after a round, and the raise must be met by putting in the same amount it was raised by, or raising it by more.
Go round by round until someone wins.
Winner takes their money back and half the loser's bet, only half so the loser can keep gamblin' 'stead of runnin' outta money in the first go.
Blackjack:
Normal blackjack, but rolling a d10 instead of drawing cards.
Poker:
Normal poker, but rolling d10's. No suits or face cards, so all you can get is high card, two of a kind, three of a kind, four of a kind, and a straight.

Idk I'm just a guy ig
I like Warlocks
I like guitars (coming up on my fifth year of playing!)
I want to be a musician/stay-at-home dad when I grow up
Recently obsessing over Warhammer 40k, specifically the T’au empire
Pretty cool! Not really my niche, but still interesting for sure.
By the way carso, what was that Lubridium tavern idea you were talking about earlier?
Idk, no specific idea but probably something in the Empire, like maybe a secret rebel hideout or something like that, because so far every single Terra Lubridium tavern has been a boat lol

Neato. I do have plans to run a Lubridium PBP at some point in the distant future. I’ll be gatekeeping the details for now but you’re 100% invited if it interests you.
