@JustOneDad I recall tables for randomly generating descriptions of potions and other magic items that contained at least one PSAT word. I recall there was at least one more word I knew from D&D, but couldn’t tell you where it occurred–maybe a monster description. However, the word “dormer” didn’t occur in AD&D to my knowledge, and so that was the word I missed (being from the land of California ranch-style homes).
I read a lot of science fiction, too. (I like that mathmom distinguishes between sci fi and science fiction.) I would say that much of science fiction requires active thought while reading to figure out the world in which things are happening. Good science fiction doesn’t start off by saying, “so the difference between this world and yours is that x and y have been invented” or “here is a diagram of the way the parts of the time loop interact in this novel.”
