Posted: 24 Mar 2004 03:25 PM Well, I've looked, but being somewhat new to the DnD world, I'm not certain of some of these acronyms you guys use - PnP I've assumed to mean "Pen and Paper" from some sources and the such. How about you fellas list some acronyms so we new-folk know what you're saying. :) "Disgrace is worse than death" - Honorary Canadian - "Post away, you scurvey malcontent!" - Nadroj Nospmas  DiabloStan Joined: 30 Jul 2003 Total Posts: 653 Send PM   Re: Acronyms?...

Posted: 24 Mar 2004 04:22 PM A quick search of "Acronyms"on the Bioware forums brought up this thread: http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=307682&forum=77&highlight=acronyms Three sisters, born of the Sea A sad fate t'was in store for thee Oh Vaisha, Vahlah and Vallaesha  CybrSlydr Joined: 23 Mar 2004 Total Posts: 20 Send PM   Re: Acronyms?... Posted: 24 Mar 2004 04:44 PM lol The thought to check their forums never crossed my mind... Companies BBs are usually soooooo full of whiners and moaners that they're not worth the bandwidth they eat up. Specifically why I enjoy posting on small community BBs instead (www.netwings.org, etc) Thanks for the link!

Posted: 24 Mar 2004 06:36 PM Some I thought of : IRL = in real life, or just RL = real life IG = in game IC = in character OOC = out of character RP = role play RPer = role player HS = hide in shadows MS = move silently HiPS = hide in plain sight CR = challenge rating (i.e. how tough the monster is to you alone) CNR = craftable natural resources (making stuff from things you find IG) HCR = hard core rules (e.g. needing to eat, sleep and drink IG, to the extent that you could die from thirst if you don't drink, makes the game more real to some, but others find these rules too constricting) Welcome to Vives :) Solitaire / Jane [edited to include a couple more] - Solitaire, Wizard - Ilyana Fiirhaart, High Priestess of Naruth  Aesir Joined: 29 Feb 2004 Total Posts: 252 Send PM   Re: Acronyms?...
