A couple of people have recommended Betrayal at House on the Hill, and I would third that. I don't know if the game's flow would be easily editable for a half-hour show. But I've seen a couple of people who normally won't play anything more complicated than Monopoly go nuts over Betrayal.
Also, have you ever played Ghost Stories? I'd love to see that on TableTop because it's a great game that should have more players, and because you kind of need an instructional video to learn it. But once you learn it, you can't stop playing. And it's also a rare cooperative game: either you strategize together to defeat the evil Wu Feng, or you all lose.
Is it really only 2 days until GenCon? Yes. Yes it is.
On Wednesday, I'm heading to GenCon in Indianapolis. I had a great time when I was there before, and I'm looking forward to attending this year. Here's what you need to know, from GenCon: Wil will be signing autographs in the Autograph Area of the Exhibit Hall, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mo...
"I AM THE GODDAMN BATMAN FOR FUCKS SAKE"
I just want this on a t-shirt.
various items including: hunter, marketplace, batman, and a show with paul and storm
Various items that may be relevant to your interests begin ... NOW! * I talked to the Marketplace Tech Report recently, and our two interviews are now online. I'm sure it will surprise you to learn that I'm a huge NPR geek, so getting to talk to John Moe for Marketplace (I did my side of the con...

technology makes you stupid
It's been over 80 for the last few days, and I'm going up to Portland for the rest of this week to see my sister, so I took advantage of the warm weather and went for a run yesterday afternoon. My brain quickly tuned out and started working on this story I'm about to publish, so my feet went the...
Thanks a LOT, Wil. I'm reading the paper online and due to you, the headlines keep appearing to say things like "Guilty verdict ends chapter of Smurf's young life".
now it's just getting silly
The thing is, I don't even like The Smurfs*, but we have a friend who is working on The Smurfs, and we feel compelled to send him as much Smurf-related imagery as possible. If you wanted to caption this one, too, I'm certainly not going to stop you. *Currently, that is. When I was 8, I fuc...
"Screw that guy in the Skittles commercial. Having the power to turn everything I touch into Smurfs is WAAAAAY cooler than that."
merry smurfin' smurfmas, mothersmurfers
This is crying out for a caption. I'll choose my favorite, and send something neat* to whoever writes it. Submissions open throughout the weekend, one per person, and can only be left as comments here (it's too difficult to track on Twitter or via e-mail). *definition of 'neat' will be at my s...
