Yeah I obviously didn't know the D&D equivalent to a few so I threw out what they meant to me lol. Feel free to strike those from the record to avoid confusion for new players who want to gain a good knowledge of our typical acronyms.

Just heard a new one:

HARD - huge ancient red dragon
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Here's one specific to Unseen Servant:

CH = Cheater Head.
