I have been playing RPGs for a long time now, and when you think about it, there are a lot of terms and abbreviations, associated with the genre, that have crept into our vocabularies. AOE, Glass Cannon, THACO, RNG, Save Scumming. Terms like these are thrown around a lot when talking about RPGs, but what do they all mean?

This video is glossary of Role Playing Game terminology, and will look into many terms regarding sub genres, gameplay, mechanics and storytelling.

Let me know which terms you learnt about, or if I missed anything good. Also, hitting like and sharing will help out a lot! Alright, let’s get into it.
