Role Play Games are littered with acronyms from DM (or Dungeon Master) or GM (or Games Master), both of which are used interchangeably.
But you can roll further up to Role Play Games, or is it Roleplay Games, or even Roleplaying Games, or Role Playing Games..... confused, yep. Well the acronym stays the same at least RPG.
Then Tabletop (or is that Table Top) RPG enters from stage left, crying out ha har! You forgot me! then you have TTRPG, as why not elongate an acronym to make it longer.
So with this mess kicking it all off, what other acronyms litter the game(s)?
