WTF? ISHYGDDT. RTFM or GTFO.
If you're a newfag, you probably have no idea what the fuck is with the jargon we use on /tg/. Here is a simple list.
Every game has their own set of terms; you should go to that game's article instead. This page is for shortforms and jargon used on the /tg/ messageboards. If you don't find it here, try typing it in the search bar on the left; maybe it's not an acronym but actually the name of an rpg (like GURPS or F.A.T.A.L.).
