| | We all play a lot of drafts on Fridays. Standard is most cmmoon event besides that I would say. Everyone seems to have an EDH(Commander) deck to play for fun. Modern tourny maybe every once in awhile. Haven't been to a Legacy event here, but some of us do have the cards/decks for it. |

| <h2> Overview </h2>
| |
| This is a guide to the many abbreviations for game books and game lines that you may encounter on the RPG.net forums.
| |
| | |
| Numbers at the end of an abbreviation usually indicate the edition. UA2 or UA2E, for example, would mean 'Unknown armies second edition'.
| |
| | |
| 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]

| Ah Sarah! I have read your name several times and have nocteid your books out and about on the internet. But, I assumed that you had been around for a while. I am thrilled to find out that we started our journey at about the same time. I published my first novel, Life is But a Dream, during the last week of January 2011 probably just a few weeks behind you. I would not have even published it then if it was not for an unwanted 2010 Christmas present from my husband a Kindle. I was planning on going the traditional route. But that unwanted Kindle has changed my life! Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. I will have to stop by often to see how things are going. Best of luck to you! This Indie thing is a whirlwind, isn't it? And so much fun! I love meeting other writers and hearing from so many readers.
