Acronyms

[Crothian]

We are bad about using acronyms. I'll take any book title and shortened it to save on typing. Hopefully people will see this and start to make an effort to help out people by first naming the product.

 

[Nightfall]

Okay for the uninitated of the Scarred Lands here what we have so far:

Mithril and Hollowfaust are NOT shortened. If you can't type their names, I feel sorry for you! Burok Torn on the other hand is usually referred to as BT.

Vigil Watch is VW. Warrens of the Ratmen, WotR. (This is why you use VW: WotR )

Secrects and Societies: Sec&Soc

Divine and the Defeated: Div&Def

Creature Collection: CC1

Creature Collection: CC2

Relics and Rituals: R&R1

Relics and Rituals 2: R&R2

Wise and the Wicked: W&W

Scarred Lands Campaign Setting: Ghelspad : SLCS (with Ghelspad at the end occasionally)

Ghelspad Gazetter: Ghelspad Gaz

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

 

[Darkness]

BoVD: Book of Vile Darkness
EN: Endless Noodles
PC: Player Character
PC: Personal Computer
PC: Political Correctness
PC: Piratecat
IMC: In my campaign

BTW, I assume that you know regular internet acronymes like LOL, ROFL, IMO, BTW, IME/IMX, OTOH, etc.?

 

[Redleg06]

Yes, those I am familiar with. As well as


AFATADS- Advanced Field Artillery TActical Data System
HEAT- High Explosive Anti-Tank
RHAe- Rolled Homgenous Armour Equivilant
TPDD- Tactical PSYOP Development Detachment
PL- Platoon Leader
XO- Executive Officer
CMTC- Combat Maneuver Training Center
TOAOGD- The One And Only Good Drow

(Sorry, could not resist! )

 

[Darkness]

TOAOGD- The One And Only Good Drow

Any idea how to shorten it to "TOAD?"

 

[Redleg06]

TOAD- The Often Annoying Drow?

 

[Darkness]

TOAD- The Often Annoying Drow?

Ain't they all, whether good or evil?

 

[Redleg06]

Especially the Mad ones!

 

[Umbran]

Creature Collection: CC2

We should probably note that CC2 is also frequently used around here to refer to Campaign Cartographer 2 - a mapmaking computer application.

And the Player's Handbook is often also referred to as the PHB, rather than PH.

 

[hong]

I can never remember. Is the "redleg" the person who sits in the front seat of the Marine Tomcat fighter, or the back?
