Cosmic Crit’s Cussing Competition
Pronk and Fleem have become cornerstones of the “bad” words we use on the show. But in a universe as large as Starfinder’s, there are a multitude of cultures, all with their own swear words and exclamations. This month, we challenge you to create expletives fit for use in the Starfinder universe. Show off your creative use of toilet language and you could earn a prize (along with a bar of soap in the mouth).
Send Us Your Swears!
Send your submission in an email to cosmiccrit@gmail.com or on the thread in the Starfinder Sub-reddit, and include the following:
The Word – Hit us with the swears! These can be single words like “Pronk” but also expressions to get your point across like “By my Vesk Scaly-Tail!” Enter as many times as you’d like.
Create the Culture (Optional) – Swear words are a part of many cultures, so include how your cuss word or expression is a part of a local environment. Is the swear word in Common or some other language? Is it a new trend or old archaic curse? How severe or insulting is the word? Does your swear word have any historical context? No matter how your word fits in it should feel ingrained in the area which it was birthed in. Bad words from Akiton shouldn’t feel the same as those which come from Verces.
Prizes
At the end of the month, the Crew will vote on the #1 mother of all swears. The grand-prize winner will receive a gift from the Cosmic Crit store, and our runners up each get a Starfinder PDF worth $10 from the Paizo online store.
