Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasper" data-source="post: 2112088" data-attributes="member: 277">Call a chart rule or flavor text I won't argue with your view pt. I would add a third word called charts. A chart is either a necessary chart (saving throw) or optional chart to help with game play aka potion mixing chart, treasure chart etc. Flavor text has been used since I got into the game lot time ago at a high school not so far away. With flavor text being anything which help define the rules or world.  So we swap two words which one has a clear meaning rules and one people can argue over. To two words which are just jargon and sound like advertising words.Literature has nothing to RPGs. Each hobby, lifestyle, career, etc has words which mean something specfic when talking to others in the same field but mean something else to the general public. The general public knows exactly what you are talking when you say rules.</blockquote>
