Experience points become Improvement Points (IMPS), which are converted into Character Improvement Points (CHIMPS), which in turn are divided between Skill Improvement Points (SKIMPS) and Proficiency Improvement Points (PIMPS). Non-player characters become Non-Player Adventurers (NPAs).
The game has more acronyms than a government bureaucracy, and these, too, seem designed to avoid any common ground with AD&D.

The language of the book seems targeted at young teen players who have either never heard of roleplaying games or have played only AD&D.
