Re: GURPS Forum Abbreviations
Maybe you could/should add:
RAI: Rules as intended; as opposed to RAW. The idea of the rule, which may not actually same as the rule effect the game? |

Can one of the mods look into making this a sticky please? Otherwise it'll just die and disappear.

Re: GURPS Forum Abbreviations: help the newbies?
As I work at one , maybe I should explain that one .
The "F" in FLGS stands for Friendly. As In your "Friendly Local Game Store" . Which at our store ...we always try our best to be friendly. I first noticed that acronym being popularized in the gamer's comic book/Magazine "Knights of the Dinner Table" .,...which of course gets abbreviated as KODT . (or even "Codd-Tee") - Ed Charlton

Re: GURPS Forum Abbreviations: help the newbies?
I'd bold the ones which are most-used, myself. (And I'll double-check to see if it's okay to sticky this here, or what.)

Re: GURPS Forum Abbreviations: help the newbies?
Since I got credit without actually contributing anything (IG), let me suggest an addition or two:
PBEM == Play (or Played) By E-Mail TT or TTRPG == Tabletop RPG, as opposed to a computer game |

Re: GURPS Forum Abbreviations: help the newbies?
While not strictly GURPS related, I did run into it here in these forums and I just didn't get it until I wikipedia'd it.
BESM = Big Eyes Small Mouth which is an Anime(Japinese Animation) style role playing game.
