How much profanity in your game?

[BOZ]

yep - take "bugger off" and replace the word with something else, and as far as i know they mean the exact same thing.

I use a good bit of profanity, casually, usually for emphasis...my wife is from Jersey, so I hear F-bombs at home a lot. I tend to be a bit of a prude, so most of my friends swear more than I do.

I played in a group for a little while that was run by this nice mormon gentleman, in his home, with his wife and kids running around. I was amazed how much I had to censor myself so as to not be insulting to my host, or the little pixies' ears. I didn't mind, it was just a little shocking to me, and always made me lose my train of thought and fall out of character. I would get used to it in time.
One weekend everyone else was gone, and it was 'just the guys' playing in the house. I guess I relaxed a little too much, because after that session I got teased for having a potty mouth.

We all swear a lot. The word profanity is not one that we use much!

I would have said there is little to no innuendo in my games until I ran my Skull and Bones game which at times has resembled a bawdy romp!

dirty remarks? lots, but we also kick the people who make them

 

[CRGreathouse]

Almost none, but sometimes some in character.

No kids yourself, huh? -_^ I've learned pretty well how to turn "it" on and off, depending on whether The Kiddo is around. In a few minutes I'll be in a delightful commute, taking 45 minutes to drive 6 miles. Anything goes when it's me alone. When I get home, my language will be instantly "g" rated once again.

No true profanity per se, but the double entendres constantly fly fast and furious amongst the players. Constantly. Out of game. In game, the PCs are too busy fighting for their lives to do much joking around.....

But at least once a month I have to stop the action for awhile because I am crying from laughing so hard at a particularly devastating or well-put double entendre. My game group includes two lawyers and three call-center workers. We all talk for a living, so wordcraft is our thing.

No kids are around when we game, but there could definitely be young children present and they would not "get" 99.9% of the inappropriate stuff that we talk about. So its kinda like R rated content placed inside a G rated wrapper.

Well, I was a soldier instead of a sailor and if anything my use of profanity has increased over the years. All the other adults in the group grew up pretty close to being "on the streets." So there's a generous amount of profanity in our games, most of which is out of character, and that which is in character tends to be fairly mild.

I think in our game, we use a fair amount of profanity, dirty-jokes, etc. How do your games rate?

jh

Cuss like sailors and I lead the pack with gruesome tales of impropriety picked up here and there at work.

Like BBR said

Yeah -we're pretty bad. Not sailor bad, but we are R rated.Ian.
