======Glossary of Roleplaying Terms======

  * **GM** - Game Master or Game Moderator. The team of people who write, run and maintain the game for your playing pleasure. The people to turn to if you have a question. Your GMs for //Spirit// are James and Susannah, who can be reached by email at [[gm@spirit.chaosdeathfish.com]].
  *  **IC** - In Character. Stuff that's in the world of //Spirit//. For example, player characters.
  *  **OOC** or **OC** - Out of Character. Stuff that's in the real world. For example, the players themselves!
  *  **NPC** - Non-Player Character. These are other characters in the //Spirit// setting, who may appear on the forums (played by GMs) or in turnsheets.
  *  **PC** - Player Character. You! The characters that //Spirit// players create and represent in the fictional world. You will usually play the same PC every week through the course of the game.
  *  **PvE** and **PvP** - Player vs Environment and Player vs Player. These are terms used to describe the nature of conflict (not necessarily violent!) within the system. //Spirit// is expected to be primarily a PvE experience, but PvP is not impossible should individual characters take it there.
