<p>Novander: /* M */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Games]]<br /> &lt;!-- This page is only for common abbreviations of game books and game lines. Not things like GM, PC, GNS or ISTTKO. For simplicity's sake I suggest that supplements only get an entry if they are almost games in themselves, such as the exalted fatsplats, Delta green or the D&amp;D worlds.--&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- &quot;Official acronym&quot; is for when the abbreviation is the name of the game and what it stands for is mostly academic. --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h2&gt; Overview &lt;/h2&gt;<br /> This is a guide to the many abbreviations for game books and game lines that you may encounter on the RPG.net forums.<br /> <br /> Numbers at the end of an abbreviation usually indicate the edition. UA2 or UA2E, for example, would mean 'Unknown armies second edition'.<br /> <br /> A very useful resource for publication histories and brief descriptions of these games (and many others) is the online Encyclopedia of Role-Playing Games: [http://www.darkshire.net/~jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ Encyclopedia of Role-Playing Games]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> <br /> == # ==<br /> 3.5 - [[Dungeons &amp; Dragons]] Edition 3.5<br /> <br /> 3E - [[Dungeons &amp; Dragons]] 3rd Edition<br /> <br /> 7S - [[7th Sea]]<br /> <br /> == A ==<br /> AD&amp;D - Advanced Dungeons and Dragons<br /> <br /> ADRPG - Amber Diceless RPG<br /> <br /> AE - Amazing Engine ''or'' Arcana Evolved<br /> <br /> AFMBE - All Flesh Must Be Eaten<br /> <br /> AGOT - A Game Of Thrones<br /> <br /> ArM - Ars Magica<br /> <br /> AU - Arcana Unearthed<br /> <br /> == B ==<br /> B&amp;B - Bunnies and Burrows<br /> <br /> BD&amp;D - Basic Dungeons and Dragons<br /> <br /> BESM - Big Eyes Small Mouth (official acronym)<br /> <br /> BG - Blood Games<br /> <br /> BGC - Bubblegum Crisis<br /> <br /> BNW - Brave New World<br /> <br /> BP - Blue Planet<br /> <br /> BR - Blue Rose<br /> <br /> BRP - Basic Roleplaying<br /> <br /> BtVS - Buffy the Vampire Slayer<br /> <br /> == C ==<br /> C&amp;C - Castles and Crusades<br /> <br /> C&amp;S - Chivalry and Sorcery<br /> <br /> CC - Core Command<br /> <br /> CoC - Call of Cthulhu<br /> <br /> ConX - Conspiracy X<br /> <br /> CP - Cyberpunk<br /> <br /> CP2020 - Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.<br /> <br /> CT - Classic Traveller<br /> <br /> CTD - Changeling: The Dreaming<br /> <br /> == D ==<br /> D&amp;D ''or'' DND - Dungeons and Dragons (nowadays usually refers to edition 3.0 or 3.5)<br /> <br /> DA:F - Dark Ages: Fae<br /> <br /> DA:I - Dark Ages: Inquisitor<br /> <br /> DA:M - Dark Ages: Mage<br /> <br /> DA:V - Dark Ages: Vampire<br /> <br /> DA:WW - Dark Ages: Werewolf<br /> <br /> DC - Dark Conspiracy ''or'' DC Heroes<br /> <br /> DG - Delta Green<br /> <br /> DG:C - Delta Green: Countdown<br /> <br /> DITV - Dogs in the Vineyard<br /> <br /> DMG - Dungeon Master's Guide.
