Uh, it's Wil Wheaton show? Like... the guy on Star Trek...

Sure, but he doesn't play every Star Trek game that comes out, and I don't think this is a very good game. I guess it works well with the show format.

These Alpha options will be available for those who want them/would find them enjoyable. We've stuck to our ground that Critical Role would exist unaffected by the launch of Alpha, nor change at all from the existing experience. This is a Legendary Digital platform initiative, not a Critical Role initiative, and we shall see how it pans out for the community.

As for Talks Machina, it's also something they want to try out. Brian is a good friend, and many people have talked about how they enjoyed Periscope conversations about post-game thoughts and debates, so the thought was to put that somewhere official. If folks don't like it, or we find it not enjoyable, we won't continue it. Simple as that.

I am not defending the platform at all, nor pushing for it's acceptance. Every company has to try and reinvent their presentation with the times, and I get that. I just want you all to know that Critical Role is staying, as is, for everyone who've been with us this whole ride.

So much has happened with Tabletop in the last year or so that is upsetting, I almost don’t want to play games at all, because it makes me think about stuff that makes me sad. I created Tabletop to put more gamers into the world. That was all I wanted to do, and I think we did that. I didn’t want a lot of the other stuff that came along for the ride, and I hope that, someday, I’ll be able to find my way back to the joy that I wanted to share in the first place.

starting the week of January 30th, you’ll be able to catch episodes bi-weekly on YouTube and the Geek & Sundry Dot Com.

My first TableTop episode was the X-Wing one which caused me to go on a shopping spree for it.. This caused my family and I to start semi-regular gaming nights which has been fun.... We have moved on from that, but keep playing other games, so TableTop has caused us to have a lot of fun nights...
