So what's your favourite acronym?

Image
By
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)?
  • AC – Armor Class
  • d% or d100 – A percentile die roll, either by rolling a round 100-sided die or two 10-sided dice.
  • AoO/OA – Attack of Opportunity or Opportunity Attack
  • AoE – Area of Effect
  • AP – Action Points
  • BTB – By the Book
  • CP – Character Points
  • Crit – Critical Hit
  • DC – Difficulty Class
  • nat 1 – fumble
  • HP – Hit Points
  • IC – In Character
  • LoE – Line of Effect
  • LoS – Line of Sight
  • Metagame – Metagaming is when players discuss the rules or things their characters would not know versus roleplaying and keeping conversation in character and in-game.
  • Min-max – Using the rules of the game to try and squeeze our any and every advantage for your character rather than designer a character to roleplay with strengths and flaws.
  • Natural # – The result of the actual dice roll, before any modifications are made.
  • NPC – Non-Player Character
  • OOC – Out of Character
  • PvP – Player vs Player
  • RAW – Rules as Written
  • SP – Skill Points
  • TPK – Total Party Kill
  • XP – Experience Points

How to find a RPG / D&D group near you

By
Looking for online RPG groups for beginners? Or perhaps you are a veteran player in need of another in-person campaign? Finding a tabletop RPG group near you can be a challenge, but fear not this little ditty should help you find the right RPG group for you. Time and location are the two biggest problems for RPG players looking for a RPG group. How to Find a RPG Group Offline There’s no experience quite like playing RPG in the physical presence of your fellow players. Most beginner and experienced RPG players alike prefer to play offline RPG. It is not as easy to find a group, but it is 100% possible. The Starter’s Set The official D&D Starter Set might be the best way to play D&D for the first time. It includes a set of dice, premade characters, a basic rulebook, and a game that takes players from Level 1 to Level 5.
