Publisher's Synopsis
I think it is fairly to say that i have a love for strange, underused or archaic word, and all of them are collected through a long time i played games, the first one is D&D.
At that time- when I was 11, I did not have much knowledge to understand the meanings. I had no clue.
Chances are, for example, that many a roleplayer may know what an "adyton" is, but even with my extensive reading and expertise under my belt, I was not aware of the meaning of "agruw." I knew what a "chamfering" was, and "chthonic" is a word we read rather often, but I had never even seen the word "dandiprat" before. Why should you care about such words?
To enrich the vocabulary.
After a brief preface in this book, we begin with exactly what this says on the tin - rarely used words that can enrich your vocabulary. Why should you bother? Simple: Our language obviously does not only influence our own social interactions. Within the context of role playing games, it illustrates very much how linguistic conventions and the use of words shape our perceptions of reality...
