I want to say that I didn't move on to the latest version of L5R which I think went the way of special dice which I normally can't be bothered with, but then I realised I mostly bought the books of the previous edition to read through and haven't ever played it.

Oh right, I remember that. I think he saw a whale or a pot plant or something. I don't think I was ready for that to come up as an acronym in a dnd context.

What does this stsand for?

I hear the follow up book will be the Dilf's guide to Dragonlance.
