Overview

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: Encyclopedia of Role-Playing Games

Of course, the $64,000 qioutsen then is: what drew you to writing about technology? I'd bet some other journos might say that they were articulate geeks who found their calling in writing about technology. (If those other tech writers are stuck with non-tecchie writers at the office, they probably see events as a chance to wave their geek flag!)Anyway, if you're writing for the geek crowd, it'd certainly help to know the lingo (take a look at all the pop-culture references in Boing Boing or Tech Crunch), but for the everyman, no, you don't need to be into it at all.

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.
