I’ve seen the term verisimilitude used a lot with respect to role-playing games, particularly the fantasy genre. It’s completely unreasonable to expect “realism” in such a game, but “verisimilitude” substitutes as having the semblance of realism within the framework of the setting.

that’s an excellent way to describe the meaning of the word, by drawing that distinction. A++++
