Expanding Our Vocabulary

I imagine this will be a recurring topic on this blog because RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons lend themselves to expanding one's vocabulary. In fact, the Pathfinder RPG's "Game Mastery Guide" dedicates a whole page to wonderfully rich and descriptive words every Gamemaster (GM) should know.

During last week's session, we learned the following words:

• dexterity
• constitution
• charisma / charismatic
• prestidigitation
• cache
• token
• demesnes
• stalagmites, stalactites, and columns
• plebe
• shaman
• ziggurat
• tapestry
• monologue (and the quasi-words: monologuer and monologuing)
• heptagon

There were some others I forgot to write down.

There's an interesting thread here on the subject.
