goblin = GOB-în (short i)
goblyn = gob-LEEN

vampire = vam-PY-r
vampyre = vam-PEER

Jun 22, 2004 11:29:48 Synce I do not use goblins yn my RL campaygns, only Goblyns, I pronounce yt exactly the same.

As for Vampyres, I thynk pronouncyng yt any dyfferently ys moot. Your random commoner yn RL probably wouldn't be educated enough to know the dyfference, let alone that there are a bunch of dyfferent kynds of vampires. They'll react exactly the same way to beyng told of a vampire, as they would to beyng told of a vampyre.

-VNM

And yes, I am makyng fun of thys rydyculous thread by usyng "y"'s ynstead of "i"'s.
