Getting "In Character"

[Altorin]

Didn't know the Warhammer games qualified as tabletop RPGs. Maybe tabletop TBS, but whatever.

In D&D and Exalted I try to get in character (though a bit hard with my current group.) Oddly enough I seem to give them a variety of European accents.

War strategy games were what D&D came out of.

Sorry, but I'm stuck with a bunch of munchkins and loonies... gah, it doesn't help that I myself share traits with the aforementioned, though I have been told I lean towards being a roleplayer. I don't get in character, but I do tend to mimic out certain actions, like 'straightening out my tie' (now it's a running gag). Though, not to the extent of dressing up (well, I did where a nice tie instead of the standard school issue once).

Ok, if we're going to start naming WH40K, then I get into character... Dark Eldar.
I cackle, taunt and make sick fantisies to scare people while I play. I always try and explain to them, what happens to people that die. They don't actually. They're just in too much pain to fight. Too much pain to struggle as we escort them back to our home world. Too much pain to scream as we remoce the flesh from their bones!! Bwahahahaha!

Ever since Dawn of War came out I find myself talking like a dreadnought much more often, even when Warhammer isn't involved. Saying Purge the Unclean gets quite a few odd looks and the attention of the feds.

Skaven are fun to mimic. You need to get the convulsive faces just right when you blow yourself up or your not a skaven player.
