I somehow missed this episode 6 years ago and am just now rediscovering it. Its like getting a brand new episode of Tabletop after all this time. At last a touch of light in 2020. Gods I miss this show.
There was just this precious moment. This half second between Wil refusing to believe he could ever win... and realizing he won. That small window into the heart where you watch a tired skepticism give way to childlike glee. That's what tableflip is about heh.
TABLETOP THURSDAY! In our season finale, ***** is joined by Miracle Laurie and The Doubleclicks for LORDS OF VEGAS! Stay tuned for updates on future #tabletop goodness!
Dollhouse! Oh, you magnificent beast for the ages. Woe to you who cannot remember Joss' extraordinary work! Your contributions to the divine work are well remembered, oh Lorie, and Fox will pay for crushing it... dearly.
Ah, Wil went out like a champ! That moment of revelation at the end was priceless. I love how the sibling guests on the show are consistently competing more intensely with each other than with the other players at the table. Great game. :}
Before watching TableTop I barely even knew who Wil Wheaton was. I only knew him from Star Trek and TBBT, and wasn't that interested. Now that I've started watching TableTop, I'm a huge fan ^.^
+Star Light I didn't know who Wil Wheaton was before I watched TableTop. As in I had never heard his name before. Yeah, I was that guy. And I still haven't seen him in anything else. So logically, to me, he'll first and foremost always be the awesome UA-cam board game host.
Well, should watch the now ended series, Leverage (Which ended on its own terms not canceled so double good). He is on that show a few times as jerk of a hacker goes by the hacker name "Chaos". And tell you he plays that character so well. You want to punch him. Just watch the series. It is good.
Same. I mean, I knew he could act. But the way his character on TNG was written was horrible and the writers just did not seem to know what to do with him. But he's also in one of my favorite movies, Toy Soldiers. I've always heard he was awesome to talk to and this series has really made me like him.
I was watching a con panel with Wil and other TNG actors yesterday, and I thought how cool would it be to see some of them together on this show. Like, Spiner, Burton and Frakes... that would make for a kickass episode.
This comment hurts, rewatching this many years later with G&S still around but a shell of it's former self, ruined by Legendary after the take over. To me it was over when Critical Role moved on to become their own company.
Wil Wheaton: Thanks to you I'm hosting a game weekend at the Camp I manage in Minnesota with friends from 2nd grade to Junior High. We have been a great group of friends (13 of us) and we are in our 40's. My collection of games is at 74 Board, Card and Dice! Loving your show has increased this hobby 10 fold! Good thing I'm super active also or I'd have big beer belly :). Thanks a ton!
Excellent finale. :) Can't wait for season 3 and I hope they decide to toss up some Extended plays in the mean time. There are a TON of episodes I would like to see the full +/- 2 hours of. :)
Season 1 Wil Wheaton: 2 Wins out of 13 games (not including co-op team games) 15% Win Percentage Season 2 Wil Wheaton: 5 wins out of 18 games (not including co-op team games) 28% Win Percentage Your point is valid.
***** That's a pretty good percentage. I didn't actually do math. They play 4-player games so on average the one guy who's there 100% of the time should win about 25% of the time.
***** i just want to point out that in season 1, the 2 "wins" he had are not really as valid, in the 1st win, gloom, the victory was shared among 3 ppl, in star flux-the second win- it was a silly throw, so i wouldn't count it. that works out for (1/3)/13 = 2.56% win-rate for season one.
***** also, i'd like to add, in the 5 wins wil had in season 2, 2 of them are not exactly fair either as the game is asymmetric in shadow over Camelot, he's the traitor , and in Betrayal at House on the Hill, he's the traitor again,and basically turned into a video game boss Now you can argue that tthose are still wins, and that is true. but it does take some of that "will is not losing as often" magic off a bit.
Will Ferrous Firstly, I added Wil's Season 1 stats just for comparison purposes. His Season 1 win percentage wasn't that great, so him arguing that he doesn't win was justifiable. And secondly, sure Shadow Over Camelot and Betrayal were asymmetric, but both sides in both games were still balanced. Plus, he was part of a three-person team and still lost to a two-person team in The Resistance, where nobody had any sort of special power, so saying that those wins were "not exactly fair" isn't a very convincing argument.
Miracle is one of my favorite Tabletop guests. Such sass and flourishes! Grats, Wil. Stop complaining about not winning on Tabletop, you've won plenty at this point. Now you're just a contestant. ... Has Felicia ever won?
Joshua O'Kelley honorary how? sorry i forgot some of that episode, t though the other game is more unbalanced i feel like Edit: i thought this is another thread
This has been my favourite youtube show for a few weeks now, it introduced me to a lot of cool games that I got to play later. Im looking forward to more episodes, hope you guys get to make them! Thanks a lot
***** as much as i hate to agree with a follower of the arcane lord... he is correct in that it is a REALY DUMB move to read the comments under a vid and not ecpect to see something about the vid. its what the comment section is for! so shut up, dont read befor watshing or dont complain if you do (oh and dont expect polite answers if your first comment is an insult ^^)
I think I'd rather see a whole new campaign from level 1 including character creation rather then the continuation/restart of the Acquisitions inc. crew adventures. Oh and Aoefel can't exist in the next universe, no Eladrin race and no Avenger class.
DFTGamer I agree that they should start a new campaign if they want to make a regular show out of it, but I want to address this line: "Oh and Aoefel can't exist in the next universe, no Eladrin race and no Avenger class." The 4e eladrin were pretty much just high elves. Sun and moon elves, the most common elf race in the Forgotten Realms setting, were changed from being a high elf subrace to an eladrin subrace in 4e. I have no source to back this elf, but Aoefel was probably a sun or moon elf and I'm assuming they're not getting rid of those races in 5e Realms. As for the "avenger" class, it's always a possibility with future source material. Either way, they probably could use another class or class combination to fit the character.
And this is the kind of win I like to see. Where it's a close game and he ABSOLUTELY wins by just ONE decision he made. Not a complete stomping or dicking over another player, but one that is nail biting and great. he looks so elated, ESPECIALLY since he seemed so surprised that the end of the game card showed up.
Man, I really hope Wil Wheaton will play Mansions of Madness some day. Like, in a Halloween-themed episode. And him being the keeper, of course. If everybody dresses up too, as their 1920s investigators... That'd be great. (wil should wear a cultist robe, though.)
You sold me on this game within the first 3 minutes just explaining the basic rules. Mr. Wheaton, you get a gold star by your name. "LUCK be a lady (and another one, and another one, and a dude named Wil) TONIGHT..."
Where do I pay my money to see "The Bear and the Chanteuse Fair"? I would be all for seeing Celine Dion if it involves her being in a pit with a live bear.
You don't actually know what time they're filming this so it's possible that it's the afternoon where being up for 13 hours already means it's probably going to be a long day
By the Drowned God is Miracle Laurie amazing and amazingly beautiful. This looks like a really complex game, but a lot of fun. Definitely going to check it out. And what way to end the season than with Wil winning. How awesome-sauce.
Thoroughly enjoying the series. To paraphrase Charlie Brooker (in his review of Doctor Who), "Tabletop is a great big smile of a show." Yup! Says it all.
Another great episode of TableTop. This game is a lot of fun. For those going to pick it up, I recommend hitting up a thrift store to find some middle-of-the-row poker chips to pimp out your game. Its a lot more fun to play with the poker chips vs. the paper money that comes with the game and makes it feel more vegas-y. :)
Awwwww Miracle! What a great attitude, though! I would have been all, "Alright, I know you have some real hidden around here somewhere. " Hearts and Stars to all!
Don't fret, Wil, I can't grow a real beard either. In fact, I can't even grow as good of a fake beard as you, I can only grow a chin strap. I feel for you, brother!
I somehow missed this episode 6 years ago and am just now rediscovering it. Its like getting a brand new episode of Tabletop after all this time. At last a touch of light in 2020. Gods I miss this show.
There was just this precious moment. This half second between Wil refusing to believe he could ever win... and realizing he won. That small window into the heart where you watch a tired skepticism give way to childlike glee. That's what tableflip is about heh.
Whoever edits in the owl bear into every episode is a genius.
It's TABLETOP! With US! This was so much fun to play & film! Enjoy!
PleasePleasePlease make this Dungeons & Dragons Cirque du Soleil show.
Geoffrey Peterson Celine Dion vs Owl-Bears, now that would be awesome.
Geoffrey Peterson Cirque de Cachot et Dragon
Bethor Azrael I thought Celine Dion *WAS* an owl-bear.?.?
Dungeons and Dragons + Vegas -> That Fantasy World
That face when wil won. It could melt icy hearts across the world.
Wil's reaction when he realizes he just won is adorable!
TABLETOP THURSDAY!
In our season finale, ***** is joined by Miracle Laurie and The Doubleclicks for LORDS OF VEGAS!
Stay tuned for updates on future #tabletop goodness!

Geek & Sundry hi
"Not only did I win, I also didn't lose!" - Wil Wheaton (2014)
@Kyler Reuben Well I didn’t need to know that but okay!
Dollhouse! Oh, you magnificent beast for the ages. Woe to you who cannot remember Joss' extraordinary work! Your contributions to the divine work are well remembered, oh Lorie, and Fox will pay for crushing it... dearly.
I have watched all the episodes and I just NOW noticed, Wil is left-handed.
OH YEA
Ah, Wil went out like a champ! That moment of revelation at the end was priceless. I love how the sibling guests on the show are consistently competing more intensely with each other than with the other players at the table. Great game. :}
YEA! That's where you've been these past few weeks, OwlBear! We've finally found you! It's good to see you again.
Before watching TableTop I barely even knew who Wil Wheaton was. I only knew him from Star Trek and TBBT, and wasn't that interested. Now that I've started watching TableTop, I'm a huge fan ^.^
+Star Light I didn't know who Wil Wheaton was before I watched TableTop. As in I had never heard his name before. Yeah, I was that guy. And I still haven't seen him in anything else. So logically, to me, he'll first and foremost always be the awesome UA-cam board game host.
You really need to watch Stand By Me dude.
One of my top 5 favorite movies.
Well, should watch the now ended series, Leverage (Which ended on its own terms not canceled so double good). He is on that show a few times as jerk of a hacker goes by the hacker name "Chaos". And tell you he plays that character so well. You want to punch him. Just watch the series. It is good.
Same. I mean, I knew he could act. But the way his character on TNG was written was horrible and the writers just did not seem to know what to do with him.
But he's also in one of my favorite movies, Toy Soldiers.
I've always heard he was awesome to talk to and this series has really made me like him.
I would love to be able to subscribe to TableTop without having to also subscribe to the rest of Geek & Sundry's offerings.
I was watching a con panel with Wil and other TNG actors yesterday, and I thought how cool would it be to see some of them together on this show. Like, Spiner, Burton and Frakes... that would make for a kickass episode.
That would be. AMAZING
Why not Stewart? 'Get the boy off the bridge!"
"Not only did I win, I also didn't lose." Quite.
The look on Will's face as he slowly realised he won was just fantastic :P
I just love the look of pure, unadulterated joy on Wil's face when he realises!
Thanks Geek & Sundry for noticing what your fanbase loves. Giving us more TableTop more often was a good choice.
This comment hurts, rewatching this many years later with G&S still around but a shell of it's former self, ruined by Legendary after the take over. To me it was over when Critical Role moved on to become their own company.
I love how Miracle kept dancing and flourishing the whole time. :D
Also: Yay Doubleclicks on Tabletop!
Also also: Woo! Well done Wil!
"It involves rolling dice! It's only a matter of time"
- me after losing 10 armys against a single army in risk
nothing perks up the day like discovering a gorgeous cellist her quirky duet, bravo tabletop.
I love wills reaction when he wins, its like a child discovering Christmas lol. xx
I love Wil's expression when he wins. It's so pure and gleeful :)
Love the reoccurring owl bear in this season!
The owlbear has basically become Tabletop's mascot.
Wil, you need to win more! The face you get the second you've realized you won is priceless. :)
Love that the owlbears are still a reoccurring thing.
Wil Wheaton: Thanks to you I'm hosting a game weekend at the Camp I manage in Minnesota with friends from 2nd grade to Junior High. We have been a great group of friends (13 of us) and we are in our 40's. My collection of games is at 74 Board, Card and Dice! Loving your show has increased this hobby 10 fold! Good thing I'm super active also or I'd have big beer belly :). Thanks a ton!
I love that the owl bear still pops up.
Awwww I love how excited Miracle got when Wil won!
Excellent finale. :)
Can't wait for season 3 and I hope they decide to toss up some Extended plays in the mean time. There are a TON of episodes I would like to see the full +/- 2 hours of. :)
BEST description of Las Vegas I've ever heard!
God i wish this was an everyday thing its so addicting to watch
The look on Will's face when he realized he won was so priceless. Good job Will.
Dollhouse actress appearance! Excellent.
Wil's face at the end when he's counting all the points is priceless!
I love it when Will wins.
Miracle!
A small part of me is disappointed no one made it rain.
I love Wil Wheaton he just has an amazing personality!!!
Miracle looks amazing
Thank you Wil Wheaton.
How about a second episode of Fiasco? :)
I love watching Tabletop, thank you!
I call foul!! I INSIST on having those dice sent to a lab for a full evaluation!!
Loved this episode! Wil's enthusiasm throughout the show was great!
Wil's been winning a lot lately. The jokes about how he often loses on Tabletop no longer apply.
Season 1 Wil Wheaton: 2 Wins out of 13 games (not including co-op team games) 15% Win Percentage
Season 2 Wil Wheaton: 5 wins out of 18 games (not including co-op team games) 28% Win Percentage
Your point is valid.
***** That's a pretty good percentage. I didn't actually do math. They play 4-player games so on average the one guy who's there 100% of the time should win about 25% of the time.

i just want to point out that in season 1, the 2 "wins" he had are not really as valid, in the 1st win, gloom, the victory was shared among 3 ppl, in star flux-the second win- it was a silly throw, so i wouldn't count it.
that works out for (1/3)/13 = 2.56% win-rate for season one.
*****
also, i'd like to add, in the 5 wins wil had in season 2, 2 of them are not exactly fair either as the game is asymmetric
in shadow over Camelot, he's the traitor , and in Betrayal at House on the Hill, he's the traitor again,and basically turned into a video game boss
Now you can argue that tthose are still wins, and that is true. but it does take some of that "will is not losing as often" magic off a bit.
Will Ferrous Firstly, I added Wil's Season 1 stats just for comparison purposes. His Season 1 win percentage wasn't that great, so him arguing that he doesn't win was justifiable.
And secondly, sure Shadow Over Camelot and Betrayal were asymmetric, but both sides in both games were still balanced. Plus, he was part of a three-person team and still lost to a two-person team in The Resistance, where nobody had any sort of special power, so saying that those wins were "not exactly fair" isn't a very convincing argument.
I am loving this season of TableTop!
Can't wait for next season.
Please bring this show back!!!!
Miracle is one of my favorite Tabletop guests. Such sass and flourishes!
Grats, Wil. Stop complaining about not winning on Tabletop, you've won plenty at this point. Now you're just a contestant.
... Has Felicia ever won?
Never alone, but in teams at least once or twice.
Maeth42 i think it's important to point out that she have one non-coop game win, it's a shared victory but boy did she fooled Wil that game.
Miracle was such a bitch. Glad that Wil won this time.
Will Ferrous Are you talking about Fortune and Glory? Because... that was the most honorary of honorary victories I have ever seen.
Joshua O'Kelley honorary how? sorry i forgot some of that episode, t though the other game is more unbalanced i feel like
Edit: i thought this is another thread
This has been my favourite youtube show for a few weeks now, it introduced me to a lot of cool games that I got to play later.
Im looking forward to more episodes, hope you guys get to make them!
Thanks a lot
The look on Wil's face.
SPOILERS FFFFFFFFFF
Thanks, great...smart...your channel will not have me along its viewers then...
Spoiler removed.
***** these are the comments on the video, next time watch the video first
*****
as much as i hate to agree with a follower of the arcane lord...
he is correct in that it is a REALY DUMB move to read the comments under a vid and not ecpect to see something about the vid.
its what the comment section is for! so shut up, dont read befor watshing or dont complain if you do
(oh and dont expect polite answers if your first comment is an insult ^^)
Wil Wheatons face at the end is so priceless.
Wil Wheaton may not be a Lord of Waterdeep, but he is the Lord of Vegas! (Much better payout, after all.)
i've gotta hand it to will for learning all these complicated games and teaching it to the other players
Request: when D&D next is released please do a multi game campaign.
Acquisitions Inc. Bring back Aoefel.
I think I'd rather see a whole new campaign from level 1 including character creation rather then the continuation/restart of the Acquisitions inc. crew adventures.
Oh and Aoefel can't exist in the next universe, no Eladrin race and no Avenger class.
That sounds like it should be a different series altogether. Doesn't sound like fun to watch on Tabletop.
Kelann08
why not make a different series? I'd watch it.
DFTGamer I agree that they should start a new campaign if they want to make a regular show out of it, but I want to address this line: "Oh and Aoefel can't exist in the next universe, no Eladrin race and no Avenger class."
The 4e eladrin were pretty much just high elves. Sun and moon elves, the most common elf race in the Forgotten Realms setting, were changed from being a high elf subrace to an eladrin subrace in 4e. I have no source to back this elf, but Aoefel was probably a sun or moon elf and I'm assuming they're not getting rid of those races in 5e Realms.
As for the "avenger" class, it's always a possibility with future source material. Either way, they probably could use another class or class combination to fit the character.
Finally got a chance to watch this. Looks like fun!
*SPOILERS*
I love how when Wil won at the end it actually took his brain a minute to process that fact.
The first few seconds, he blinks a lot... 'I won... does not compute... does not compute...'
And this is the kind of win I like to see. Where it's a close game and he ABSOLUTELY wins by just ONE decision he made. Not a complete stomping or dicking over another player, but one that is nail biting and great. he looks so elated, ESPECIALLY since he seemed so surprised that the end of the game card showed up.
Many congratulatory noises, Wil! I was filled with joy, seeing how much you enjoyed your far-too-rare win. :-)
I think Geek and Sundry should develop a second tabletop show dedicated to showing tabletop games that don't fit well in the Tabletop show.
WONDERFUL episode. Thank you!!
Man, I really hope Wil Wheaton will play Mansions of Madness some day. Like, in a Halloween-themed episode. And him being the keeper, of course.
If everybody dresses up too, as their 1920s investigators... That'd be great.
(wil should wear a cultist robe, though.)
Congratulations to Will for winning another episode of Tabletop.
Miracle made me cry in doll house :(
Nice to see Wil win on the season finale. Congrats on getting another win
You sold me on this game within the first 3 minutes just explaining the basic rules. Mr. Wheaton, you get a gold star by your name. "LUCK be a lady (and another one, and another one, and a dude named Wil) TONIGHT..."
Thanks for a great season, I hope filming for season 3 starts soon!
Where do I pay my money to see "The Bear and the Chanteuse Fair"? I would be all for seeing Celine Dion if it involves her being in a pit with a live bear.
That look of dawning comprehension was amazing...
"NOT ONLY DID I WIN, I ALSO DIDN'T LOSE!"
And then Wil won the redundancy award.
I always cheer so hard for Wil.
1:30 Oh behold it's the Beholder it's something to behold.
I love how excited Miracle got when the result was revealed :)
"At this point, I've been up for 13 hours".
Isn't that perfectly normal? Assuming a full 8 hours of sleep, you spend 16 hours awake every single day.
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he meant to say working for 13 hours ahah, I mean it's still not a ton but ehh
You don't actually know what time they're filming this so it's possible that it's the afternoon where being up for 13 hours already means it's probably going to be a long day
I'm just glad he wasn't talking about a Viagra mishap!
By the Drowned God is Miracle Laurie amazing and amazingly beautiful. This looks like a really complex game, but a lot of fun. Definitely going to check it out.
And what way to end the season than with Wil winning. How awesome-sauce.
Now I'm not gay but...
Wil's eyes are fucking gorgeous
Thoroughly enjoying the series. To paraphrase Charlie Brooker (in his review of Doctor Who), "Tabletop is a great big smile of a show." Yup! Says it all.
He says he never wins. He wins every other episode it seems.
Not including any of the coop games, Wil has only won 11 times.
The Owlbear is killing me! Keep 'em coming!
The salt is real in Miracle.
Wil is like a small child when he wins, so fun to watch when he wins.
Dungeons and Dragons show? Will there be an Owlbear fight?
Wil Wheaton, you are an inspiration.
you know what? I am gonna play more games.
That Owlbear...
Another great episode of TableTop. This game is a lot of fun. For those going to pick it up, I recommend hitting up a thrift store to find some middle-of-the-row poker chips to pimp out your game. Its a lot more fun to play with the poker chips vs. the paper money that comes with the game and makes it feel more vegas-y. :)
Miracle is gorgeous and she knows it
Angela - Obsessed with keeping things together... Wears a necklace with a heart that's per hanging to one side the whole time.
Miracle is still a winner
One of the best monologues yet!
Mellie!
"Not only did I win, I also didn't lose!" is one of the greatest quotes ever!
Can we get some more of Aubrey please
yeah i got a secret crush on aubrey
Wil's expression at the end... priceless. :P
Tired Will's expression when he realizes he's won XD
Even the girls can't begrudge him for winning!
Awwwww Miracle! What a great attitude, though! I would have been all, "Alright, I know you have some real hidden around here somewhere. "
Hearts and Stars to all!
Don't fret, Wil, I can't grow a real beard either. In fact, I can't even grow as good of a fake beard as you, I can only grow a chin strap. I feel for you, brother!
Wil's slow realization of him winning was hilarious as well as his joy
please play Letters from Whitechapel. thank you.
Love the Double Clicks.
