(As you can see, she's still working through the A's, there are probably a great deal more.)

Alacrity, from the 2nd Ed MET rules for Vampire: The Masquerade?
Most of my vocab comes from role-playing games, and GURPS spring-boarded my love of the Sengoku period. (Yes, GURPS Japan was my first book.) I convinced my dad that they were HISTORY books.
