Geek & Sundry Taps Into Board Game Fandom to Break Record on Indiegogo

http://recode.net/2014/05/12/geek-sundry-taps-into-board-game-fandom-to-break-indiegogo-record/

“Tabletop,” a free video show featuring geek celebs Wil Wheaton and a revolving door of guest stars, closed its Indiegogo campaign Saturday night with $1.4 million raised — a new high-water mark for a crowdfunded digital series — despite initially asking for only $500,000. The money will fund a third season of the show as well as a new program about role-playing games, both of which will be released by Day’s production company, Geek & Sundry.

    This is my favorite web-series, and I don't even play tabletop games anymore. It's all kinds of entertaining, though, and really well-produced. Plus, I love Wil Wheaton! I was very happy to pledge to this, and even happier that I was just one of more than 20,000 people who did. It sort or restores my faith in the internet when stuff like this gets funded. Now we just need to fix the net neutrality thing, and we'll be all set!

    Nice! Looking forward to this. I liked the show he did on G4 (Arena?) ages ago and it would be cool to see something like this get picked up by a network or something. 

    There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

    It is a remarkably fun show and the time passes so fast and they are surprisingly competitive even the ones you do not expect. I love watching their faces when they are not doing so well but trying to hide. I know ,I know I am such a bad person.

    Same here. I watch TableTop religiously :)

    Glad to har they did so well! Reaching their 1million mark means that Wil's TableTop RPG series gets a "Go!"

    Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.

    Will Wheaton and Felicia Day. Both are so lovable!
