I know some of these words.

Vampire: the Masquerade

"Kindred" = vampire

Nosferatu: a clan of deformed sewer-dwelling vampires who run intelligence/black market type stuff and have notoriously poor social skills

Toreador: an allied clan of vampires that are very high society stereotypically, with an ingrained appreciation for art and beauty. Typically very pretty. Surprisingly dangerous when provoked, though.

Anarchs: unaligned vampires with an anarchist motif

Danke schön.

Oh damn, I thought knowing Vampire the Masquerade was a given in TTRPG circles. I'm getting old.

I’m from the 3e days, but never got into WoD, so the lingo goes right over my noggin.

I vote post titles must be prefixed with "[GAMENAME]". Many of these posts are just noise in my feed, without context.

Oh please no. That toxic Reddit power tripping sub rules about tags and lingo… leave it there.

You're the first Karen I've seen on lemmy.

Who's your manager? I want to speak to them.

Play some RPG's and it will come to you

[–] sxan@midwest.social 6 points 7 months ago

Problem is, you have to play all of them to get all the specialized terminology, and it sometimes overlaps between games.

I'll bet I've played at least one game you haven't. I know there are dozens of games I haven't played, and even if I had time and wanted to dedicate all of my free time to RPGs, I doubt I could play then all enough to learn them well enough to recognize each from a half-dozen words in a meme.

Depends on which RPGs you play. If I start talking about sacred geometry with no context, it makes it harder to figure out than if you know it's Pathfinder.
