    That Penny Arcade Controversy

    It is not ridiculous to be offended by this comic: It falls far away from your description of 'PA's guns'. That isn't an insensitive bit of comedy, that's a shallow, insincere, condescending apology that belittles the people it claims to be apologizing to. It also makes them (PA) look like smug...

    how do FLGSs make money?

    You might see one or two of those stereotypes, but I think it's confirmation bias if you are seeing them everywhere as the bulk of gamers.

    What are your "must haves" for a virtual tabletop?

    Tablet support. Nicer to be gaming from the couch with my tablet than at my workstation.

    UK Game Stores Band Together To Ban Alleged Bully [Updated]

    Funny to see his name blanked out while his video in same post has his full name. Not sure if six months is too long, I'm guessing past history must be playing into it. I am very glad to see a stand by gaming stores about this.

    Ask the Shadowrun line developer stuff

    These novels will be released in some form of ebook format right? Would be sad if Shadowrun books were only dead tree versions.

    I'm insulted by how humans are depicted in D&D.

    I just thought you were being inclusive of the Otherkin.

    Cleaning my long-lost Megamat

    Going over the ink with another non permanent mark can work wonders. Try a small section first but often the most recent marker and the older marker come off together. I do this on school white boards with someone uses permanent markers.

    A lament for the lost Irony Games site.

    This will roll dice online for you (and allow others to see rolls) http://www.catchyourhare.com/diceroller/ Enworld also has a dice roller... Ironygames was a great site.

    What Apps can't you live without for tabletops RPGs either on iPad, Android, or PC?

    1) Dropbox. Lets you keep a much bigger library of books than your iPad could normally hold. Plus if you get your players to sign up, handling notes becomes paperless and effortless. 2) Good reader. Handles more tabs than the adobe pdf reader, handles lots of other formats (even zip/rar)...

    I miss seeing xp-comments

    I agree. I also -feel- XP comments are more like giving XP in a visible manner than the reputation button.

    We are being laughed at. A ranty article purely for debating purposes.

    I think they get bullied less. This is coming from my perspective as an Australian teacher in primary school, being a geek, and watching the school geek culture change over the last twenty years. Experience will differ of course depending on where you are. I don't know how much awareness you...

    MMO terms and tabletop, anyone completely ANNOYED by this?

    What cop out did I use in my post? I don't personally use lol in my speech. I'm sure you have witnessed people 'called out' for using slang not appropriate to the group norm. I've seen people 'called out' for far sillier reasons. I wouldn't ascribe the use of someone saying lol to be because...

    MMO terms and tabletop, anyone completely ANNOYED by this?

    Language evolves. Each generation complains about it. The one I find amusing at the moment is the circular effect of the :( Originally used to indicate being unhappy in a hard medium to show emotion (text only) it is starting to show up in speech patterns e.g. "I went to the shops and they were...
