Shared language for reforged edition literacy

You will not find invented product prices or fake stock counts here. Orientation only: how people learn, where they discuss, which public references stay trustworthy.

Migration session

A table meeting to agree which text is canonical.

Legacy career

Older packages you keep as house content.

Reforged delta

What materially changed for play.

Reprint vs revise

Layout fixes versus mechanical shifts.

Table lock

Freezing a rules version mid-campaign.

Conversion notes

NPC and injury translations.

Teach-back

Players explaining new procedures aloud.

Shelf of honor

Retired books kept for art and history.

External reading still matters. Primary histories, designer blogs, and encyclopedia overviews beat anonymous listicles when you need grounding.

Label which edition a thread assumes. Separate migration talk from fiction talk.

Document house rulings in one shared note. Two weeks later, nobody will remember the clever exception you invented mid-combat for reforged/revised grim & perilous edition literacy. Marketplace browsing such as Grimdark is optional and separate from this glossary.

One-page migration sheet. Repeat edition fights get ink—then lock the text.

Whether you referee weekly or rotate the chair, reforged edition literacy benefits from a common language. We write for that shared middle ground between lore deep-dives and rules minutiae.

One migration agenda, one delta list, one teach-back—enough for a single edition-lock night.

Terms evolve. If your table uses a different gloss, write it into your house doc and tell newcomers which dictionary you are using. Shared language beats winning an etymology fight mid-scene.

When a word is edition-specific, say so out loud. Borrowing vocabulary across systems is fine; silent assumptions are what cause arguments.
