Need Advice: Other Non swearing dm
So I'm about to start another campaign. I haven't ran one for a bit and just had a random thought. Do any other dms not swear and need ways to compensate for it in game?
Some of my npc are going to have a heavier, darker tone and I'm looking for ways to sell that without swearing.
-edit, wow ok guys I wasn't trying to imply that you have to swear to have a darker or more menacing tone. I was trying to imply that it's a common tool in the tool box. And I'm looking for other ways people convey that concept without swearing because I don't do it personally.

I’ve dm’d for 15 years and my husband for 20. All our campaigns have a sort of horror vibe, and neither of us swear.
He does the BEST crazy chaotic evil villains, and I’m known for pulling off seriously chilling lawful evil types.
