The Glade 4.0

I don't know how this flew under my radar, but I just discovered Tabletop.



In a nutshell, it's a web series of Wil Wheaton playing geeky games with geeky celebrities, and it's a lot of fun.

Some examples:

Small World with Sean Plott (Day9TV of StarCraft II fame), Grant Imahara, and Jenna Busch:


Wil plays Munchkin with Felicia Day, Steve Jackson (the creator of Munchkin) and Sandeep Parikh:


The Resistance with Felicia Day, Allison Scagliotti, Ashley Clements, and Amy Okuda

It's a great series. I've made a couple of game purchases based on it thus far. With my board gaming habit, though, that list (the ones I've purchased after seeing on TableTop) is smaller than the list of TableTops they've done that I've already had the game, which is smaller still than the list of games I'd love to see on TableTop but haven't featured yet (or maybe not ever, considering it contains a few that are probably somewhat too fiddly and/or complex for the fairly broad appeal TableTop audience -- Eclipse, as great a game as it is, probably won't ever feature, for instance).

Mmmm Allison Scagliotti...

It's an awesome show, I've also bought several of the games they played on there.
