Things I learnt from roleplaying games

Today's word from Dictionary.com is camarilla, 'a group of secret and often scheming advisers'.

I discovered this term years ago from White Wolf's Vampire: the Masquerade. The Camarilla is a sect of vampires in the game going back to the 15th century. Having not heard the term before, I checked on its meaning. See, games can be fun and educational, and more than just whacking monsters and getting treasure.
