How Do You Describe Pain?
Find herein scores of well-written examples and key words on how to describe various levels of pain to your audience. For Writers and Gamemasters (GMs) it's difficult to convey pain, and even specific types of pain, to an audience who's comfortably sitting at home in an easy chair or around a gaming table.
The Pain Cards attempt to help writers, storytellers and GMs in this regard by providing adjectives and key words that can be used to convey pain.
With each word there are two separate examples on the use of the words — one example more severe than the next.
Use these keywords and inspiring examples to covey pain in a unique and compelling way.
