Tapletop gaming is my preferred leisure time. Some of my favorite nights with friends have been spent playing board games, and recently my social calendar has been spent playing D&D. But one of the great things about being a geek is it’s easy to find joy in others geeking out too. So even though I’ve […]

Season 2 of LARPs is Almost Here
It hurt my soul when I saw the last episode of LARPs (season 1.) That final episode really tugs at everything you love about the characters. And OF COURSE they bring us right back there in the first moments of the trailer for Season 2. I could barely breathe. My calendar is marked for Thursdays. […]

Magic: The Attempt-to-Gather
Geek & Sundry produces an awesome series, called Spellslingers, where Sean Plott (aka “Day[9]”) plays the card game Magic: The Gathering with his nerdy friends. They took a lot of cues from the production of Tabletop, but gave it a unique feel. There’s a lot more shared analysis of the gameplay that doesn’t really happen […]

Titansgrave: #tablederp Edition
Tuesday is Titansgrave day! The cast made some fun faces during their episode “Danger at Reed Manor” last week, so I snapped some #tablederp screenshots. I swear I’m not intentionally leaving out Hank Green on these Titansgrave posts. He’s a fun guy and I love his character, Aankia. But he doesn’t make silly faces very often.
In addition to festivities at San Diego Comic Con proper, Geek & Sundry, Nerdist, and Smart Girls hosted a ‘Conival’ at Petco Park last weekend. I’m still catching up on all the videos, but I definitely enjoyed the Titansgrave panel from that event. One quote from Wil really stood out after a fan asked if Titansgrave could […]

A good way for a dungeon master to give this information to the player is by passing notes. In Titansgrave, we’ve seen this happen a couple times. Most recently in chapter 5, “Staff […]

Titansgrave vs. Critical Role
When Geek and Sundry’s webseries Tabletop had its record-setting Indiegogo campaign last year, one of the stretch goals reached was the creation of a new RPG show to be produced as well. That show is a now a thing you can watch called Titansgrave: The Ashes of Valkana. Right now we’re 3 episodes into the 10 episode series, […]
While preparing for my first romp at Dungeon Mastering, a resource I really appreciated was Episode 12 of Critical Role from Geek and Sundry’s twitch channel. Matt Mercer has been DMing this same group of performers (most of them are voice actors, which makes the characters really awesome) for a long time. Critical Role is […]

Titansgrave Is Late. And That’s Okay.
Wil Wheaton said Titansgrave was gonna come out on June 2nd. On June 2nd we got an apology and an explanation for why it wasn’t coming out on June 2nd. Here it is: And I’m totally cool with this explanation. I’m excited to see the show and I’m disappointed that I’m not watching it right this […]
