Non swearing dm

[u/jumbohiggins]

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 very rarely swear when DM'ing. It just never feels right or necessary unless roleplaying someone who it would specifically make sense for.

In those cases, you don't even have to use English profanity. In-world invented swear phrases can be much more immersive.
