Just added!

Tones:

adoring
brisk
concerned
contemptuous
crisp
desperate
disgusted
drunken
dull
embarrassed
evasive
frosty
heavy
hollow
idle
imperious
indignant
insincere
laborious
miserable
pleading
sudden
surprised
tense
thick
unhappy

Verbs:

accuse
assure
explain
marvel
offer
retort

That's 26 new tones and 6 new verbs, bringing the totals to 258 tones and 54 verbs. A couple interesting tidbits on this batch:

This is surprisingly not the first time we have something that is only one character off from an existing item (exclaim / explain). One pair, for instance, is wishful/wistful.

We now have 11 dis- tones, but only one of the words that is made by removing the dis- from them (though the majority of them don't make a valid tone).

We added two new tones with -ious endings, and they're both unusual in that they pronounce it "ee-us" instead of "shuss" (as in flirtatious or suspicious). They're not the first, though; mysterious, oblivious, and obsequious precede them.

jesus, instead of an overabundance of tones, can we actually have sustained effort at doing something worthwhile?

I doubt, x infinity, that adding tones is a sustained effort that somehow gets in the way of actual coding. It's just way nifty, esse.

I love tones as well as new tones AS WELL AS Ildran.

But I still loled at Bob's comment.

Ildran is a solid GM. I really appreciate his work on LFM. Hopefully now that's he's done with this, he can get back to coding projects for rogues!
