My D&D group sat down a few weeks ago to play our first game of Fiasco, and we were amazed at the end of the game at what an incredible story we had created in three hours.
The game, with a creative group of people, is absolutely mind-blowing. This is one of those games that will create those, "Hey, remember when..." stories for years to come.
I can't wait for this episode.
A picture from Tabletop
One of the best times I had this season on Tabletop was playing Fiasco with John Rogers, Alison Haislip, and Bonnie Burton. I won't spoil anything, but I will tell you that Will Hindmarch, Jason Morningstar, and I teamed up to write an original playset for the show, and we'll be releasing it ...
PAX was amazing as usual. I slide a d20 (half clear/half smoke) across the table to you while you were talking to someone at the signing, and before I dashed off, you shot me a heart-felt, "Thank you!".
No, thank you, Wil.
How was your PAX?
I'm on set for Eureka, tethering to the Internets through a mobile hotspot, using my iPad to post with the Typepad app. This is, as they say, less than optimal for blogging. However, I wanted to put a post up for PAX stuff, until I can write a proper post in the next few days. I had a wonderful ...
Does this include chucking d20s at you from the audience during the Acquisitions Inc game?
bring me your tired, your poor, your polyhedral dice...
It's 4pm, and I've been awake for 12 hours, on almost 5 hours of wake-up-every-thirty-minutes-so-I-don't-oversleep, uh, sleep. Truly, I live an exciting life that doesn't afford me the opportunity to get much quality reszezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz *thunk* *snore* *drool* Ah, that was nice. Okay...
Can't wait for PAX. (Living in Seattle it's only a 5 mile bike ride for me. Woot.)
I did everything I could to avoid con crud last year and it still happened. On the other side of the table, so to speak, as a fan I try to avoid shaking celeb hands as I assume a thousand unwashed hands have been shaken before me. I'm not a germ freak, but it's kinda gross if you think about it.
Stay healthy, Wil.
This is a post about PAX Prime, which is suddenly upon us.
It's raining in Vancouver. Little rivulets of water are running down the window, as low clouds slowly move across downtown, swallowing up the tops of buildings as they roll by. I have a late call today. I'm in one scene, and then I'm off until next Monday. Tomorrow morning, I'm going home to get...
also, you're the best dad in the world.
in which my son and i bottle our beer
I walked down the hallway toward the guest room, and started talking before I got to the door. "Hey, I just looked at my calendar, and I miscalculated when we should bottle our beer." I stepped off the wood floor of the hallway and onto the soft carpet we just had installed. I involuntarily squi...
guy behind the counter: "yeah, i thought you looked familiar."
you: "that's because i'm wil-fucking-wheaton, bitch!!!"

oops. wil, not will.
three incredible indie bands you should listen to
My brother has been making these cool time lapse videos of life on his ranch in Montana. In a recent video, he used music that I instantly loved ... but he didn't say who it was. Luckily for me, I live in the future, so I fired up Shazam on my Android, let it do its thing, and in less than a min...
great choices, will. have you ever listened to the seattle radio station kexp? they are a public radio station that plays amazing music. http://kexp.org/Default.aspx
check out the live stream if you get the chance. i think you'd love it.

i think i just figured out what is for dinner tonight. thanks, wil!
Soup. Black Bean. Hot.
"What are you making?" Anne asked. I looked up from the cutting board, and put the knife down so I wouldn't somehow cut my hand off when I wasn't looking (yes, I am that clumsy). "Black bean soup," I said. "Is it from a recipe, or are you winging it?" "I've made so many different recipes from so...
dire deathhawks.
the circling hawks
Two days in a row, in two different places, twenty miles apart, I’ve seen two hawks circle in the sky above me. I know it’s simple coincidence, but I like to believe that they’re the same pair, soaring gracefully and beautifully on thermal currents just for me, so I don’t forget to appreciate th...
Man, these are the stories that I read your blog for. Great post, Wil.
good evening (and good night)
"I want to have a date tonight. Do you want to have a date tonight?" Maybe I should have passed her a note that said "check yes or no" but after fifteen years together, I often think of these cute and clever things hours after the fact. Anne looked up from her magazine. "I like having dates with...
I'm glad you had a blast at PAX. This was my first, and it was an incredibly fun three days. One of the shining moments being the return of Aeofel in the Acquisitions Inc game. Brilliant stuff, Wil. Stinky forever.
Also, the Aeofel stat card that was included in my PAX goody bag was pretty hilarious.
PAX After Action Report, Part One
PAX started for me, like it does for a lot of people, a few days early, when I was traveling to Seattle. I took the train from Vancouver (for $38, you really can't beat it) and met a couple of other guys who were on their way to PAX. I introduced them to Zombie Dice, and we played several games,...
rest up...and then get your ass to pax!
You may ask yourself, "well, how did I get here?"
About two hours ago, I said goodbye to my friends on the set of Eureka, and rode back to my home away from home, here in Vancouver. About an hour ago, I started doing my laundry and packing my suitcase. I think the last time I did coin-op laundry, I was 20. It's strangely familiar, and the uniqu...
The awesome hour was my first event of the weekend, and rest assured, Will, it was awesome. Unfortunately, the weekend was such a flurry of activity I didn't get a chance to wait in line to say hi and give you a high-five.
High-fives next year (or maybe at PAX) since you are a rather awesome dude. Thanks for make the con even more excellent and memorable.
the obligatory emerald city comicon post
Now that I'm home from Seattle, I'm right back to editing and rewriting and obsessively perfecting my PAX East keynote, but before I can give that the focus it requires, I need to talk a little bit about this year's Emerald City Comicon. First, the good: The dungeon delve I wrote and ran was rea...
