Wil Wheaton to maybe do an RPG series
« on: April 07, 2014, 08:18:10 PM »
I wonder if we could get Wil Wheaton to do an RPG episode of Rolemaster??? He seems very excited about doing a spinoff of the very popular Tabletop, featuring RPGs. Of course, his funding would have to get to one meeelion dollars.

I just checked, he's not at the SLC Fan XP next week.  I was going to offer to chat with him if I saw him in the green room.

Lets all have an informal agreement that if any of us ever meet Will Wheaton we will:

a) encourage him to play ICE games (on TV or off)
b) ask if he wants to come to mine for a donut

Done. Love Tabletop and would also love to see Wil's group RMing it up.

I didn't know much about Wil before Table Top (well, aside from him being on Star Trek Next Gen), and I have to say he's impressed me.  He comes across a bit like he 'knows' he's a little famous, but not in a jerkish way, almost more a tongue in cheek kind of way.  Table Top is a freaking great show, I really think one of the gaming networks should try picking it up for a season and see if it goes over on cable TV.

The two moments that I think won me over best were when he was asked about 'geeks' getting teased while on a panel at a con... phenomenal response, especially to a youngster who will likely take that moment with them through the rest of their life.  And the other one was when doing X-Wing on Table Top where he said, a number of times, with great emphasis "Han Solo ALWAYS SHOOTS FIRST!"  I had to rewind that a could times just for the heck of it.
