New Word: Pleganoid

[woodwardiocom]

In the spirit of robin_d_laws, I give you a new word:

pleganoid

pleh-GA-noid
adjective
from the West Germanic plegan cultivate, practice, play + -oid like, formed to contrast humanoid.

In a roleplaying game, being a member of one of the player character races, as distinct from non-player-character "monster" races. E.g., in classic Dungeons & Dragons, being a human or elf instead of an orc or sphinx. "None of the residents of this town are of the pleganoid races."

Ooh! Lemme riff on that.

So the period in Arcana Unearthed when the dramojh ruled the earth walked the earth was a prepleganoic era?

Are you sure you don't want to join our game? We're going to be losing players come the end of the summer and we'd like to get new ones up a few levels first.
