Presumably in Latin

>>51531524

In English, because that's what my players and I speak.

If the people in the setting don't actually speak English, I operate under the assumption their swears are that language's translations or analogues of our swear words.

Rules of good writing dictate you don't inundate your readers/players with a bunch of made-up words. It's distracting when characters keep exclaiming "groik!" or "flarz!".

Is it bad I learnt Elvish curses for my High-Elf Artificer who was effectively the college drop out of his family?

He swore a lot and had only just been kicked out of his city so it seemed like the right thing to do.

Read a book where the tundra nomads said "elkpiss". Was jarring for a moment.

Like i do in real life, also depends on the character. If i play a noble character for example, i don't but if i do, it's for dire situations or when he has been under a lot of pressure.

I had a town guard get angry at his underling while question the PCs. The junior kept trying interrupting to tell the commander something, and eventually he turned an shouted,

"Vecna's Eye, boy! What is it?"

Went over well with the table.

This is a decent place to ask this:

I'm playing a Roman centurion in a campaign and was wondering what were some authentic Roman swears I could use?
>>
>>51540175
Caudex - asshole
Furcifer (sp?)- scoundrel/thief
Preaceps felliator - headling cocksucker (they're really into their work, and suckin' dick was seen as a debasement. Slave's work)
Assinus - donkey
Barbarus - barbarian
Graecus - Greek (meant a learned slave, or someone too smart for their own good)


All I can remember. Google some Roman graffiti, you'll get more.
>>
>>51531524

In Spanish.

>Ver'gah (who happens to be the name of an in-game God)
>Tuma Mah
>Miercoles
>Nomames
>Putamadre
>Me cago en tu madre y me sobra mierda
>>
>>51531524
Carefully, as the wrong words can litterally curse people or summon daemons.

>Naked slave: the poorest of slaves, without any rags
>Fanchona: a mantoy of shaved thighs, hysterical ways, oily skin, submission and 'heroism' only in the scribbles of a bathroom.
>Demon bait: useless to be anything else.
>Maganchos te agarrem: that the creatures with hooks instead of hands get you.
>Flies of Tartarus: not only a filthy fly, but its underworld version.
>Brothel's straw: dirtied by others and never cleaned or changed, more used than copper half-coins.

Depends on the character. Some characters might swear casually even using it in regular conversion eg. "how the hell have you been?" some might only swear in anger or frustration "fuck, another caravan was raided last week." some might never swear in public and might even say replacement words simply to avoid swearing "AHHHH fiddlesticks I stubbed my frimping toe!"

That being said I don't have characters swear like in your pic because that's retarded and real people don't talk like that.

I like them inspired by Robert E Howard, as in angry oaths at various deities and/or their body parts. I try to collect interesting ones.

There you go. My personal favorite is Lucius made bread on this day, which turns out to be a euphemism for jacking off.

For simplicity's sake, Commom is English, Elvish is French, Dwarvish is Celtic, Under common is Creole, Dragonic is Italian, Fey is Latin, and Orcish is German.

Is there a difference between cuss and curse?
Always figured "cuss" was a family-friendly way to say/write "curse".
>>
>>51549439
Not that guy, but you might be retarded. He was making fun of the 'sentence' by posting something similarly nonsensical.
>>
>>51542018
>I said a thing that was wrong without any irony! You're autistic for not knowing I was joking!
I know somebody like you. He perpetually says stupid shit and I never correct him or respond because it's impossible to know if he's actually just being a dumb piece of shit or if he's trying to make a joke. I hate you.
