How much profanity in your game?

[frankthedm]

In character; a lot for appropriate characters.

Out of character: A lot of vulgarities from some of us.

Clean mouths are only for gaming in public places.

OOC our language is pretty filthy, but it's always a sort of flippant, offhanded, non-angry cursing.

IC it depends on the personality of the character and the situation. When it's appropriate it's appropriate and they'll cuss as much or as little as needed. We'll have stuff as innocent as a cleric talking to and comforting a young child, and then the same session have the cleric cursing with righteous fury; we'll have innocent and lighthearted banter, formal language in polite high society, and then a half session later we might get sexual innuendo from a fullblown fiend. Whatever the characters and situation require is what happens, and we'll try to stay as true IC as possible.

Since I retired from the Navy, my games have gotten cleaner in that area. My new campaign is at my FLGS, so I expect that one to be the cleanest yet.

Some, but its pretty much end of the pier stuff (ok, British cultural reference). I suspect that us Brits tend to be a bit less fussy about it as we have a cultural tradition of fart jokes and Benny Hill so unless you've got a very serious deep immersion group there are usually quips flying.

Some. Things can be rather salty at times, urbane at others.

We are not delicate flowers, though. Well, unless the July Tenuta kind of delicate flower counts.

A little bit, we're tryng to cut back though.

Used to be a bunch, but now that my son is playing it is mostly gone.

This would be my answer. Swearing is not frowned-upon in my social circles, and I game with friends in private homes or at university gaming club nights where, naturally, no-one makes a big deal of swearing.

Philosophically, I figure anyone who's bothered by casual swearing is probably someone I won't enjoy hanging around with much anyway - so of course I won't be gaming with them, either.

I'm the biggest culprit of this, in or out of game. The DM's wife drops her fair share of f-bombs, though.

I'm Australian, it's a given
