New Vocabulary (Usually Relating to LARP)

session.

Forrest Gump History: When a player hands you a character
history where their drooling boob of an idiot character
somehow blundered their way into every important even in
human and Kindred history. Good for a laugh.

Berenstein Game: Named for the insipid children's books
about the "Berenstein Bears," a Berenstein Game is one
where the players achieve all of their objectives with
little to no effort on their part just like in a children's
book. Some ST's tell a story worth an epic. Some tell
stories that aren't even worth a children's book. A
Berenstein game can also include being handed rediculously
implausible plot as well (ie the "meeting Caine" sessions).

The Man with the Yellow Hat: An ST in a Berenstein Game.
Yes, I'm aware that I'm mixing children's stories, but
c'mon: How fun would it be to walk around one of these
retarded games and everytime you needed the ST say "Hey,
have you seen The Man with the Yellow Hat?" It would
probably become what they actually call the ST without them
ever knowing what it really meant to you.

Golden Age Game: Any game that has intense role-playing
between realistic, non-twinkish characters. There should be
almost no combat, a lot of intrigue, little to no plot, and

Immersion gaming: Larping while mingling in with mundanes.
Stepping up your role-playing to the point where no one
knows that you are playing a game.

Greg Elemental: There was an ST named Greg around these
parts who would put together these RIDICULOUSLY overpowered

and just started calling them Greg Elementals.

ridiculously set notion of what roleplaying and LARP'ing is
and must be.

only in reference to the Fascist Game (see above).

The Boy(s) Who Called Twink: Those people who, anytime
their character gets bested by a rival or

Good ST: A breed of Storyteller that seems to be woefully
rare in these days, and has been replaced by the Hitler
variation of the Storyteller. Generally, this term refers
to those Storytellers that are well-versed enough to
effectively mix combat with the rest of the elements of the
game, in the capacity that they're players are enjoying
said game. This is difficult because there are many Nazi
Gamers (see below).

Nazi Gamers: Those who cling to a Fascist Game and its
Hitler because it coincides with their belief of "How LARP
Should Be". These tend to ruin Good ST's (see above)
because they will constantly bitch until the game fits
their view of "How LARP Should Be", and becomes a Fascist
Game. Good ST's either become the Hitler of said game or
are deposed by a Hitler.

ninja'ed out mad tunes from wailing guitars"

ways. "This one guy went Matrix, and I had to ninja myself
