![]() Many technical and process-related acronyms and abbreviations greatly assist in memory retention Strictly speaking, acronyms are words formed from the abbreviations of others, but as you'll see, many of these acronyms aren't words at all, and even some of the best known acronyms like LASER and RADAR have bent the acronym rules.Īcronyms, whether true acronyms or not, and abbreviations, add colour, fun and interest to our language, and thereby they act as mnemonics, or memory devices. ![]() They are a fascinating reflection of the development of communications, Whatever, acronyms and abbreviations add colour and texture to the written and spoken word, and to life in general.

As such be careful how and where you use them. You can also check out for more information on both products and to order the hardcopies (or ask your store to order! I love selling to stores).Some of these acronyms could be considered 'politically incorrect', including a few which could be interpreted to be rude or offensive. You can check out the PDF of HBLF here and the full line of LFNE products if PDF here. It also includes notes and corrections to some design choices/errors my younger, much less refined designer brain let sneak in.īoth 10th Anniversary (called Happy Birthday, Little Fears) and LFNE are available in print and PDF. It's the full Original Little Fears package. LFNE has a more adventurous spirit, is designed for long-term play, has a higher focus on imaginative monsters, but does include rules to adjust the brightness of the setting, allowing you to make it more fantastic (Dark Faery Tales) or closer in play to the original.įor those interested in the 10th Anniversary Edition, it does include all the support products that were released for it. Mechanically and thematically, they are very different takes on the core concept of "kids fighting monsters." The original was designed to more immersive, more unsettling, and rooted in real-world horror. And, if anyone is looking for a game with support products, LFNE has seven adventures ("episodes"), two micro-supplements, and two full-sized supplements. While some people prefer the darker setting of Original/Happy Birthday/10th Anniversary LITTLE FEARS, I feel NIGHTMARE EDITION is the far superior game. This just showed up in my "little fears" Google search. A easier game to sell to most groups, with plenty of support to help a starting gm out. More Goosebumps style horror as they say, unlike the original game. Now Nightmare Edition is built more to reflect a child's fear, Closetland being a vastly different place for the children to explore and meet their foes. I actually had to read it a page or three over several weeks not to cringe. Well, reading each King's write-up and the game fiction in the front of the book really did creep me out. ![]() So in Closetland (which both games have), you have the Demagogue and his Seven Kings (the personification of the seven deadly sins). The original Little Fears was more written with a adult perspective, or more to the point adult fears about your child. But as I said, Anniversary has some changes in it towards the rules so they both may share the same mechanics now.īoth have their charm, but the real different is tone as Jason Blair explained to me once on these very forums. Nightmare, you roll the number of dice from skill & stat and take the best three to meet or beat the target number. Looking thru both books, Little Fears is you roll under your stat with a d6. Mechanical, I only got the original Little Fears to go by so I may be wrong. I had expected to see Jason himself drop in to reply but he must be busy. Ok, lets see if I can answer the questions.
