Pronunciation[edit]

The article doesn't touch the vexing question of pronunciation. Marsh discussed this point on Dragonsfoot, IIRC.

Isn't it sa-HWA-gin? --Koji 04:28, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does -gin have a hard or soft g? It's ambiguous as it currently stands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.43.105.110 (talk) 00:51, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We would need to find a reference source in order to use this or any pronunciation. RyanTMulligan 15:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are multiple pronunciations for the race. There's a pronunciation guide that Frank Metzer put together for Dragon Issue #93 (Jan 1985), which has been transcribed ^[1], which is the closest to Steve Marsh's actual pronunciation of /sə.hwɑ.gɪn// His youngest daughter, Rachel Marsh, pronounces it /saʊ.gwɪn/^[2]. I met with the two of them at the 2019 NTRPG Con; they go every year. Rachel Marsh complained about the incorrect pronunciation, so I asked her to see if she could get a primary source uploaded somewhere for that. I'm afraid that I'm still pretty new to Wikipedia editing - I've only done minor anonymous grammar fixes - but I figure this is as good a place to start as any.

Sah(u)agin in Warcraft (?)[edit]

Dunno for sure, since they are not called sahagins or sahuagins or the like, perhaps I'm just completely wrong, but I always though that those warcraftian Murlocs [[1]] looks liek their interpretation of the same mythical creature... Dunno... Any comments? 189.5.90.50 (talk) 22:15, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sahagins are in the first Final Fantasy game too. 75.157.113.196 (talk) 18:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-Thru RPG Product History[edit]

Saw a problem, fixed a problem: added a citation for the claim that they were invented by Steve Marsh. I'm not a regular contributor, so there's no username and the formatting may need some work. The source itself has odd provenance: at some point circa 2010 (I am having trouble at the moment determining the exact year), Wizards of the Coast started to re-publish their TSR Dungeons & Dragons back-catalog in PDF format. Shannon Applecline -- owner of RPG.net, author of the RPG history Designers & Dragons, any author of the occasional "history of" column to various official Dungeons & Dragons publications (Dragon magazine, Dragon+, the Wizards of the Coast D&D website -- was selected to write a "product history" for each document to appear on the Drive-Thru RPG page for that document. It is unclear to me if the copyright for such a history rests with Wizards of the Coast or Drive-Thru RPG (or even, less likely, retained by Applecline). So the citation is, admittedly, a hot mess, but better than nothing. Also, Applecline draws on older magazine articles and publically-available forum posts by Gygax, Marsh, etc., so it may be possible to find a more direct reference on forums such as RPG.net, Dragonsfoot, etc. where Marsh himself mentions the "Super Friends" connection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.207.39.84 (talk) 18:28, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
