Cunning Linguist 02-24-04, 02:10 PM	MoF is also used for Monsters of Faerun. Lord of Darkness was a 1.ed book, not a 2.ed. Also: SoU = Shadows of Undrentide (NWN Exp) HotU = Hordes of the Underdark (NWN Exp)

Kuje31 02-24-04, 03:10 PM	F&A = Faiths & Avatars P&P = Powers & Pantheons
Reefy 02-24-04, 09:15 PM	DDGttU = Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark (2E supplement) is one that I see used a fair bit.

Kuje31 02-24-04, 10:07 PM	SKR = Sean K. Reynolds. :)

Another Gnome 02-29-04, 03:44 AM	To avoid confusion with Monsters of Faerūn, MaoF is occasionally used for Magic of Faerūn.

Alac Luin 06-17-04, 03:42 PM	To bring back a long forgotten thread. What is FLGS? I've been on these boards for 2 years, you'd think I'd know :shrug:
Cunning Linguist 06-17-04, 04:41 PM	CD = Complete Divine
Monsoon28 06-17-04, 04:44 PM	What is FLGS? Friendly Local Gaming Store... though I had for a time thought it was a american store chain.
Monsoon28 06-17-04, 04:47 PM	DDM = Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures How about SK for Serpent Kingdom. What about Planar Handbook? PLHB? PrHB?
