This was a great episode as I am now going to seek out zombie dice and tsuro and force my wife to play (I didn't care much for bite me). And you're right, Ryan is a witch. No human could roll that many brains.

More from behind the scenes at Tabletop
In my gaming group, I am not the guy who is good at explaining rules (that guy would be Tom D., when he plays with us, or my friend Cal M., the rest of the time) so the part of Tabletop I was the most anxious about is that segment at the beginning of the show where I explain the rules of the gam...
Looking forward to whatever this series is. Here's another thought. While it won't work as an audio book, there are some games made for the iPad/iPhone from Ian Livingston's Fighting Fantasy series. How about Wil Wheaton narrating the passages for Warlock of Firetop Mountain paired with the game. That would make the bland into totally awesome. Well, in my books anyways.

"you are hearing me talk"
I'm working on an audiobook -- actually, a series of five audiobooks -- for the next two weeks. I don't know if I can say what it is, but I think it's safe to reveal that it's a classic fantasy series from the 80s, and I'm actually quite surprised it isn't already available in audio. I really li...
Wil,
I'm glad you had a great time in here. Unfortunately I was unable to get into the show to see any of the cast but I'm living vicariously through the videos and blog posts.
Tons of emotion on the entire cast reunion and my friend who was doing security for you guys had some great stories to share. I'm happy this happened when it did.
You're always welcome in Calgary (just give me a heads up so I can clean the house).

After twenty years, I finally got to say this.
A lot of incredible and wonderful things happened at the Calgary Expo this weekend, and when I'm not as exhausted I'll write about all of them. Until then, though, here is one of them that I really hope you'll spend 5 minutes watching: If you can't see the video, you can watch it right here a...
Sounds like an awesome trip. Will be interesting to see the vids and photos. I'm in Calgary so looking forward to the con this weekend but alas, we have no celebs here to offer the calibre of Australia. I think there might be a busker or two here and of course 10,000 screaming fans of Star Trek. I keep repeating to myself "I will not be a dick this weekend, I will not be a dick this weekend..." so perhaps others will follow. We're a tame crowd. Just throw out some twinkies and AOL floppy disks and the fans will calm themselves.

My trip to Australia was amazeballs
I am home from Australia, and only mostly dead exhausted. Go me! I'm too tired for a proper post about the entire trip, but I'll offer a few memories and highlights: I did not meet a single unkind person the entire time I was in Australia. I realize that my sample size was quite small, but it wa...
Sad and douchey to be buying apps with someone else's account. Too bad there wasn't a "Zap the person holding this device with a 100,000 volt charge" feature in the Kindle.

Someone found my Kindle on the airplane this weekend. I'd really like it back.
I left my Kindle on an airplane this weekend (post-convention exhaustion will do that to you), and someone found it. I know that someone found it, because they've been using my account to buy games and books. Based on the purchases, I'm fairly sure the person who found my Kindle (which is named ...
How have you seen the gaming industry change over the years, from tabletop to desktop to mobile. The influence (or lack of) of computers on tabletop gaming (how many people use computer based utilities to supplement games?) and have people jumped ship from traditional tabletop to computerized desktop (either stand-alone games or online like WoW). Finally what's the future look like for tabletop gaming?

ECCC Programming Question: What do you want to hear at the Awesome Hour?
I've been working on Big Bang Theory for the last week. We tape tonight, and tomorrow I immediately start work on an audiobook*. The upshot of this is that I won't have a lot of time to build a setlist for my Awesome Hour at Emerald City Comicon this weekend. So this is where you come in. I need...
So when is the show with you playing Zombies!!! going to air? ;)

This is my new show, Tabletop
Last summer, Felicia Day asked me if I wanted to develop a show together for her new premium YouTube channel, Geek and Sundry. Spoiler alert: I said yes. She asked me if I wanted to do a show about gaming, maybe a review show or something like that. "I think it would be more fun do somet...
