Howdy! Long time reader, first post.

I have to admit my lack knowledge of the various abbreviations used.
For instance it took me a minute to figure out PAM= Pole Arm Master.
And I 'think' RNG means random number generated?

Is there a list, or can someone with better insight than I, create a list of all the commonly used abbreviations?

Thanks!

Here is a serviceable start: https://thinkdm.org/glossary/

RNG means
Random Number Generator or Random Number Generated depending on the context.
1d20 is an RNG.

If the thinkdm glossary doesn't have what you need, I did put together my own list (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LVocDhP5O9vIV9fQ-0jQnpN45HZ4vkm0NHShZ97N-IU/edit?usp=sharing) back in 2018.

Feel free to let me know if I've missed any that need to be added.

Thank you Ninja Prawn and OldTrees1!

Just the decoder lists I was looking for.
I, and perhaps others, can and will add to the de-muddling of the alphabet soup.

Again, Thanks!
