Every couple months or so, an Escapist editor says something to either sound the death knell for tabletops, or seems to actively try to dissuade people from engaging in them. Why? Many of us are gamers on both sides of the electronic fence.
I think as editors, the Escapist staff could stand to do a little more research into where their own pastimes came from, and maybe do a little more looking-around at the world, and a little less patronizing of those few kids who think that only video games matter.
