40K: Warhammer 40K Roleplay

TTRPG: Tabletop roleplaying game

DM: Dungeon master/game master

D&D: Dungeons and Dragons

VtM: Vampire the Masquerade

RL: Real life

and WoD is World of Darkness, the 'master' setting that the various vampire, werewolf, changeling, mage, promethian, hunter, etc. games are set within.

The joke is that the 40k game is set in the far future which kinda blends scifi, horror, and fantasy elements. It's not very popular so to play it with high quality components, you need to craft them yourself.
D&D is super popular, so it's easy to pull premade resources.
Vampire the Masquerade is set in modern day, so you don't need anything crafted.

40k = Warhammer 40,000

TTRPG = Table Top Role Playing Game

DM = Dungeon Master, which doesn't technically apply to a Warhammer 40,000 game, they're usually called Game Masters in anything that isn't D&D

D&D = Dungeons and Dragons

VtM = Vampire the Masquerade

RL = Real Life
