My char had like a 10 minute think session after a sarge used 'cool'.  as in thats cool.

> weather
It is a cool day.
The sky is clear.
A cool breeze blows from the west.
The white moon, Lirathu, hangs low in the sky.

Mah immarsion, you have shattered it.
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

I'd imagine that a cool morning on Zalanthas would, in fact, be pretty cool.

You find a rusty, armed landmine and pick it up.

Yo..Dude for life....but not in Arm... Though I was wondering ifcool is used in a description in game already is it wrong to assume its proper place as a description of something equal to its base meaning? That is cool,  as cool as a cool day or breeze? Or is this treading on that thin ice on a planet without ice?
The funny little foreign man

I often hear the jingle to -Riunite on ice- when I read the estate name Reynolte, eve though there ain't no ice in Zalanthas.

cool is okay to use, but I think it is disturbing to see it used slangy:

So "The dark-eyed man sends a cool glance your way" is fine, but "The dark-eyed man says, "You killed a halfling? Cool." is a bit weird

I tripped and Fale down my stairs. Drink milk and you'll grow Uaptal. I know this guy from the state of Tenneshi. This house will go up Borsail tomorrow. I gave my book to him Nenyuk it back again. I hired this guy golfing to Kadius around for a while.

An alternative to cool I used with my previous pc was 'wet', it caught on pretty well and some of the folks that were around him more often starting using it as well. Dude is WAY too jarring though.
A staff member sends you:
"Normally we don't see a <redacted> walk into a room full of <redacted> and start indiscriminately killing."

You send to staff:
"Welcome to Armageddon."

Armageddon is best when it's actually harsh and brutal, not when we're only pretending that it is.

"dude" is not an insult... so I don't know why some of these insults are being proposed as alternative uses for it.

Quote from: FiveDisgruntledMonkeysWitI pictured them as cute, glittery mini-velociraptors.
Kinda like a My Little Pony that could eat your face.

Clans can give stat bonuses and penalties, too. The Byn drop in wisdom is particularly notorious.
