Some OSR relevant sites, OSR(?) Lingo, at least some info from dare I list, 1d6chan


I am newly discovering 1d6chan the website... or at least I forgot about it previous. 

  • https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki//tg/
  • OK, starting to think they are like the other chan sites that are not kid friendly. You have been warned. 
  • Their quote sums it up maybe: "Just saying, if you're a noob, casual, WAAC-faggot, that guy, or dedicated eldar-level troll, beer and pretzel gamer, foreveralone, it doesn't matter. None of that shit matters. You can always come fucking chill with /tg/ on bad days."

You've got ENworld of course, but it does all versions, not so much OSR focused, though many OSR guys are there: https://www.enworld.org/

Lingo

  • WAAC = Win at all costs. See Here
    • Actually this includes CHEATING, so no it's not your regular min-maxer optimizer type guy. 
    • At first, I'd probably call them a Min-maxer OR what's the nicer word that Brumble Stonefoot ... Brumblefoot, Brumford, Dornstone, (actual name?) uses... build-optimizer maybe . 
  • WotC = pronounced "Watt see", as in Wizards of the Coast, the company that seemed OK in 3rd edition D&D but has recently went way overboard with the weirdness in a bad way... killing off orcs as monsters, making lots of pastel colored art, etc. and all the stuff the grognards hate.
  • Grognard = "old school gamer", comes from French old solider or something, but that comes from "grumbler" which is a rough translation of the word in French a long time ago.
