Very little to none. Profanity/obsentiy that is. We play in a church. Or did, our game is up in the air because of a lady in the church who got all her information from "zogm D&D iz evil.com" but that's outside the scope of this thread.

We have the occasional dirty joke, but seeing how one of the major guys I play with is the youth minister for the church, we're trying to cut back. But we're pretty bad sometimes.

I generally play with alot of ex-marines and other colorful characters. We don't go out of our way to do it but it happens (usually in conjunction with poor rolls).

We actually had to put a table policy in place when we played ay my buddy Paul's house. Our elf archer had just dropped a sorcerer with a well-placed arrow volley and said, "Yeah, BEE-OTCH!" Paul's kid apparently went right up to his mother and repeated the line several times that evening. :heh: We stuck together like troopers though, none of us singled out our buddy for the misdeed and we just discretely watched our language from that point on.
 



We can get crude and a little rude. The one with the worst mouth in our group is a Minister. I have to laugh every time he says something vulgar.
 

It depends on the time of evening, since each swear word requires a $0.50 donation to the piggy bank of each child that is in earshot. But once the kids go to bed, it gets a bit worse. Not too much though, since everyone tries to stay in the habit of not swearing.

Game night is going to pay for their college education. ;-)
 



Not the classic ones...

Usually they are fictional (not in any order)

Frell, frak, frag, frek, Drek, dren, biff, breeder, hoop, slot, trog, tralk, oo-mox, son of a bacchae, mudblood, muggle-lover, fish paste, holy shrimp, motherfrakker, Gorr-am, ruttin', sandstone, wanker

Frell was popular with our group during Farscape and Frak when BattleStar was playing....fish paste and holy shrimp were popular with the ones that had kids....gorr-am & ruttin' with those that watched Firefly....mudblood & muggle-lover with the harry potter crowd....never can have enough oo-mox if you are a Star Trek DS9 fan....son of bacchae - Xena....others were either vampire/shadowrun/cyberpunk words...I think sandstone was a dwarvish curse word...

and just because I watched the F@#% documentary: Boone, Baby! Boone!

I prefer to create my own for my campaigns...or to create new ones for my characters. I try to make each race have their own swear words.

Now dirty jokes...those usually happen all the time....can't help it when the players or DMs speach slips or minds wander.

Actually drek is a real obscenity, a scatological one. It's just yiddish so most people don't have a clue.

Like how Capt. Sparrow got away with saying bugger in a disney movie. Most americans are clueless as to it's meaning. :D
