As I have been browsing RPG communities on Lemmy, Facebook, and Reddit, I have noticed some of the slang that I used to hear is not present much in these discussions. Now I know over time, slang and lingo do change, and I want to know more about your experiences in it. One of the terms I used to hear was “fish-malk”, referring to players that take on a character to be goofy, silly, and “random”. They were usually useless and made playing the game for the rest of the players rather difficult. So what lingo or slang terms are you using in your groups, or terms you just don’t hear anymore?
People still say fish-Malk all the time in VtM spaces, it’s a bit outdated but it communicates the concept pretty well if you have an understanding of Malks and the type of character playstyle it’s referring to.
“VtM”?
Vampire: the Masquerade. It’s an RPG in the World of Darkness, created by White Wolf. There are others with werewolves and mages and demons and stuff, but Vampire is the most popular.
