Return to Question

I'm currently in the process (soon™) of releasing my first RPG. And I have a legal question about using some terms of another IP, that seem in my layperson view of the law fair use. The setting of the game I'm developing is one of vampires and urban politics akin to VtM. Would the use of words like 'kindred', 'embrace', 'disciplines', terms that are defined in dictionaries, possible of legal repercussion? Currently the name of the project is Lost Kindred and those 3 words are really the only ones that are in VtM that I'm using. I wouldn't mind changing the 'embrace' and 'discipline' terms but I really would want to use the word kindred.
