The latest file upload includes a number of terminology updates across multiple 2400 games. I strongly suspect this will matter to very few people; this is not a terminology-heavy game by any stretch of the imagination, and every game was internally consistent before already. I was having some trouble explaining to people how to combine 2400 games, though, in large part because I used the same terms to refer to different things. I can only write "traits — but not, like, Xot traits, like Xenolith traits" so many times. The changes, in short, are:

• Xenolith and Legends changed from having "species traits" to "species characteristics"
• Xot and Battle Moon changed from having "specialties" to "vocations"
• Orbital Decay, Data Loss, Resistors, and Habs & Gardens changed from having "skills" to "skillsets"
• Habs & Gardens changed from having "characteristics" to "qualities"

My hope is that you won't actually need a glossary to understand all this stuff — it'll just be self-evident why things are named slightly differently when you look at them — but here's some more detail about how I use each term, in case it's helpful.

• SKILL now refers only to granular things that give you a larger skill die when relevant, like Electronics, Hacking, and Engines (as in Inner System Blues, Cosmic Highway, and others).
• SKILLSET now refers to broader abilities that give you a larger skill die with a range of related tasks, like rolling Tech to work with electronics, hacking, and engines alike (as in Orbital Decay, Data Loss, and others).
• TRAIT now refers to an adjective that gives you a larger skill die when it's relevant, like Strong or Winged (as in Xot and Battle Moon).
• VOCATION now refers to a career that gives you a larger skill die when it's relevant, like Thief or Mycologist (as in Xot and Battle Moon).
• SPECIALTY now refers to a career that gives a character a package of character options (skills, talents, items, etc.), like "Grifter: Skilled in Reading People (d8), Deception (d8). Take an extensive disguise kit," (as in Inner System Blues, Cosmic Highway, and others).
• CHARACTERISTIC now refers to an adjective describing a special ability shared by a species, which may need more explanation than self-explanatory traits, like "Suited: Custom vac-suit hides expression," or "Collectivist: Grant 2 dice when helping" (as in Xenolith and Legends).
• QUALITY now refers to a personal detail that grants an extra skill die when it's relevant, like Honest Face or Gravcar Nut (as in Habs & Gardens).

I also made some small, unrelated updates to phrasing in some of the above games, mostly for clarity, and I added a new procedure for creating "close connections" in Habs & Gardens. Those updates are not explicitly about terminology, unless you count that some readers of Habs might now need to google the word "polycule."

I suspect the list above makes 2400 look a lot more complicated than it actually is, but I hope this actually simplifies things for those interested in making hacks and mashing up modules. Please let me know, though, if you have feedback for better ways to address complexity.
