[QUOTE="CherubKid, post: 5537841, member: 21687"] Over the course of years of play, we pick up terminology that really isn't officially sanctioned and copy-written by TSR, WOTC, or The Powers That Be. Nevertheless these words become part of our gaming langauge. What unofficial jargon does your group use? Some examples... "Playing" - No one in my gaming group ever says "Are we playing Dungeons & Dragons this weekend?" It's always "are we playing?" This got me into trouble once when a customer at the comic book store I worked for asked "Do you play?" Of course I said "yes" and to my embarrassment he followed up with "What instrument?" "Free Shot" - Attacks of Opportunity take almost as long to say as they do to resolve. We say Free Shot. That says it all. "Cracked Die" - Whenever the die roll gets snagged in the tablecloth, or lands leaning against the PHB it's a "cracked die" (and of course an automatic re-roll). Don't know who started this or how it began. Is this even a real thing? [/QUOTE]
