Wil Wheaton & Chris Pramas in "Tabletop"!

I've been waiting for this one! Time to tell my FLGS to restock Dragon Age.

I think it's pt 1 (of three?).

Edit: Nope, two parts. Wishful thinking...

Wil Wheaton's show usually features boardgames -- it's awesome that he's covering an RPG in this episode! It's only a quick look - it's hard to fit an entire RPG into a 30-minute format - but I think they pull it off!

Fun!

 

[Krug]

Woohoo! Exciting, and a great cliffhanger. Hope your dice rolls get better, Wil!

I really enjoyed that - then again, that's what I say or write after every episode of Tabletop I watch (actually, when I watch most of the Geek & Sundry vids).

 

[Leviatham]

Amazingly enough, it is really fun to watch!

I thought it would be dreary because it's tough to shoot a fun RPG game if the right combination of great adventure, quick pace and right players get together.

They got it pretty much right!

Really dug it.

I noticed that they opted not to use funny voices during this game. Which, is odd on the one hand since they are certainly all capable of it. But not so odd on the other hand in that it undoubtedly makes the experience seem less awkward and more accessible to non-TTRPGers.

The other thing I noticed is that the "off to the side commentaries" fit well with actual play videos. If anyone doing actual play videos has the inclination to do a bit of video editing, they could use this technique to really improve the quality of their products.

That's a really good point.

I think that was why I also really enjoyed the Fiasco episode.

Glad you folks enjoyed it! It was really fun to do.

Certainly was entertaining, looking forward to part 2

(...and Set 3!)
