Does anyone have a listing (even incomplete) of acronyms used on this board? It would make reading quicker and easier for those who are not fluent in Dark City Game Speak.
We could also make list of acronyms of things not related to DCG on the Off Topic board. It could get "interesting." We might have to institute a ratings system.

Hey araman,
Ha! We have accumulated a few. As far as I can recall, they all refer to either the name of the adventure, or the branch of Legends the adventure falls under.
LAW (Legends of the Ancient World)
UTW Upon the Wind ER Ebon Rebirth SitD Shadows in the Dark ET Emerald Twilight TiL Thing in the Lake ROC Raid On Cygnosa OB Oracle's Breath TDV The Dark Vale SOR Sewers of Redpoint ILS Island of Lost Spells FitS Fire in the Streets GTU Gates to the Underworld COK Crown of Kings WOR Wolves on the Rhine
LTS Legends of Time and Space
VS57 Void Station 57 TDI The Darkstar Incident AEE At Empire's End ? Oasis
LUW Legends of the Untamed West
BID Blood in the Dust
Maybe there are some more acronyms floating around...

Thanks Bret, I'm sure this list will make things easier, especially for me. They're not too hard to figure out, but if I don't immediately recognize an acronym, then it's off to the other room to look through my games to try and figure it out.
It's kind of funny that reading one thing can trigger a totally unrelated thought. For instance... when my daughters throw FitS, I make them SitD(own).

If they get ILS, you could send them to the ER TIL they get better. I wonder if we should add some non DCG stuff to the list of acronyms as well... TFT The Fantasy Trip ITL In(to?) the Labyrinth HOW Heroes and Other Worlds

btw, araman - are your daughters old enough to start gaming yet? keep them away from COK as long as you can. it gets hard at times. you could always fall back to OB if your need to introduce new members into the gaming folds.

My daughters? No, they're not quite ready they're in kindergarten and preschool. My boys are more than old enough but they're on their own and out of the house. Not to mention that they live in different states (and time zones) so it would make gaming a little difficult. In fact the youngest is stationed in Alaska. His next duty station is going to be in North Carolina. While not exactly next door, it's MUCH closer and easier to get to. My wife's excited about it.
