Y

Yoink!
Short for "I like that idea so much I'm stealing it (for my game)". Origin: from the supposed sound of something being snatched away. Think back to saturday morning cartoons and you will know the sound.


"You all meet in a tavern..."
The "classic" (read: cliched) way to bring a party together in a fantasy game; often extended to other games as well.

101, the
Slang for the basic information about some subject of interest. Usually used to refer to imparting this information to another: "I'll give him the 101 on the Agency while we're staying here in the safe house." From the traditional course number for introductory courses in American colleges and high schools (from "MemoryBeast", on the RPGnet Fora). It is not a reference to George Orwell's 1984, where 101 was the room prisoners were exiled to in order to face "the most horrible thing in the world."
