TOPIC: Glossary of True Dungeon Acronyms and Unique Language

Hello all,

While I am all in with True Dungeon and Virtual True Dungeon I am still fairly new, I found starting out in the forums a bit confusing with all the Acronyms and game specific terms that veteran players threw around. If there isn't already a location with all of these defined, how about we start throwing them into this topic. I believe it will be a big help to new players and lower the barrier to entry.

I was just thinking about this the other day! I've been playing for a couple of years and I still have to think twice about some of them.

TE = Treasure Enhancer (items that grant you more treasure pulls)
TD = Trade Good

There was another four letter one recently I had to look up, I just couldn't figure it out. When I remember what it was I'll post it, I'm pretty sure it was a specific token.

Although it's not an acronym, chocolate is a term used for trade goods. And on that note - all of the trade good acronyms - AI, AP, DS, EB, EM, etc.

HHL - Harlax's Helpful Lamp
PUG - pick up game
LFO - looking for others
LFM - looking for more
UR - Ultra-rare
URTE - Ultra-rare Treasure Enhancer
2k/8k - size of token orders
There's also some terms that aren't TD specific - WTB (want to buy), ISO (in search of), WTT/WTTF - want to trade/for

BIS: Best In Slot

HC: Hardcore (difficulty)
NM: Nightmare (difficulty)

RoH: Ring of Heroism
ToH: Totem of Heroism

ISSN: Ioun Stone Silver Nugget
ISGN: Ioun Stone Gold Nugget
ISPN: Ioun Stone Platinum Nugget

HHL: Harlax's Helpful Lamp

Good call, but these should also include explanations...

LFO: Looking For Others (the group is still looking for some of the tickets for this run)
LFM: Looking For More (the group has all of the tickets for this run, but not every ticket has a player yet)

I was a bit sad when "RoR" changed from Ring of Regeneration to Ring of Riches. All the early TE UR tokens have well known acronyms:

HoP Horn of Plenty
RoR Ring of Riches (or Ring of Regeneration for us old-timers)
CoGF Charm of Good Fortune
AoTF Amulet of Treasure Finding
CoA Charm of Avarice

I haven't seen people using acronyms much for the Gold/Silver/Platinum Nuggets.

When you remember I will add it to the list. I know I have looked up dozens of acronyms over the last two years and can't remember them off hand.

I was stumped by TPTB for a while

The Powers that Be = True Dungeon staff/ decision makers

Possibly also:

AG: Adventurer’s Guild
GC: Gen Con
GHC: Gamehole Con
GT: Golden Ticket

Thanks for all of your entries already. I have added today's and will periodically add any more that get posted.

This one is pretty obvious, but woodie refers to wooden tokens printed from 2003-2006, and then Treasure Coins through 2012.

It was AoTF, reading this thread jogged my memory. So yay, someone already caught it!
