We cuss, but only as is fitting to the game. We do not go out of our way to drop a F bomb, however as was stated above, fighters cuss, even more-so when the barbarian is out killing them during an encouter.

Some, but not a whole lot.


Of course, depending in character this can change. My longest lasting character had been a Sergeant and swore up a storm occasionally.
 

Ideally none at all. Ideally. Though we don't live in an ideal world, so I voted "generally none". We often play at the FLGS (a family-friendly store), so it's good to keep that kind of thing to a minimum if at all possible.
 

I've never given it much thought, as it is pretty much a non-issue here in Sweden, but I suppose we do swear from time to time.
Using various names for the devil and hell are fairly common (and mild) expletives.
 


With one exception, noone in our group EVER curses, but innuendo is part of the game (more of a "and fade to black" than actual, "squeak squeak, meow, fft fft a hubba hubba" (to quote the Simpson's)

We have a player getting married to an NPC, so there has to be a honeymoon (ain't RP'g that for all the money in the world) and one of the other players is jealous so she is trying to bed the bride's former footman. Its all terribly complex, but you get the picture.
 

Sailors could learn some things from our crew...

And I'm probably the worst offender, most notably whenever I get a chance to play the character I'm named after here. :)

I voted Generally None, as I've always made sure that, sometime early in any campaign or recruiting period, the players knew full well that I won't tolerate much foul language in my presence as DM. I don't play with people who cuss excessively, but sometimes I do end up hearing (or reading, through online play) occasional excessive swearing. I haven't yet had to kick anyone out of my games for cussing, but I certainly would if anyone offended my senses too much at once or just over time. Some profanities I just won't tolerate at all. Bigotry is just about the top of my short list of "things I loathe with all the loathing any human can muster."
 

My group does very little, but they do a bit. My other group, which is currently on hiatus, was incredibly foul-mouthed.

In my experience, the more women you have in a group, the more foul-mouthed it is :)
