[@BG_StuartJ]

Wil mentioned the game plays to his strengths of bluffing and pushing his luck, but he forgot that it plays to his strength of not having to roll dice.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

When I first heard him say that, I assumed it was being played up for a joke but damn. He is cursed or something.

[@leoschultz9046]

So, Will recorded the intro the day after the game, and he and Hector entered a battle to the death after the game was over. I guess we know who won. Nice knowing you Hector!

[@confushisushi]

Hekky will be missed.

[@Its-Veyren]

No words can describe how much I laughed at this. Pretty soon me and my own sense of humor will have a battle to the death. Why did ya look here?

[@Its-Veyren]

well, guess i won that... R.I.P. my sense of humor :(

[@TRUSTeTMguest]

@@Its-Veyren why wouldn’t I look there Made you look

[@willemverheij3412]

If a guy named Wil already gets the best of Hector, he won't stand a chance if he ever meets an Achilles.

Every time I see a new table top come up... my day gets better.

Earth... Fire... Air... Water... Cards. Only the Avatar can bend the five elements and bring balance to the world

[@bobtheninjagoldfish]

"I have a TV show coming out on Seeso" It took so long for this episode to reach KZbin from Alpha that entire Seeso network went Defunct. Well played LDN. Well Played.

[@spritemon98]

That sucks

[@kcodydansereau5757]

Rhea- Takes out most of the Mage's useful items Also Rhea- blames the Mage for "not bringing anything to the party"

[@thebestame3582]

"Don't be Becca Scott" Was an amazing joke that I can't believe it took me this long to get. Only because I don't think I knew who Becca was at the time this video came out

[@LauchlinM.]

Guys, Janet can't help but bend the cards. She _is_ the Avatar, after all.

[@tjortiz7466]

You suck so much.

[@VailenCZ]

I love how Will walks out from the camera shot after intro with his expresion that clearly says: "I am done with this sh*t..."

[@demonturkey]

Why did Wil wear "yesterday's t-shirt" in the intro if he wore a completely different one during the show?

[@margaritoamargo6347]

Continuity.

[@justinnyugen7015]

Heck the door! Heck the door! Hecktedoor! Hecktedoor Heckdor! Heckdor! Hector

[@christophermactaggart243]

Wil we need more Table Top !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@exitmusic_2755]

"I just got a date with someone I really like! PUT IT IN THE DUNGEON!" I would HIGHLY recommend never saying that out loud in public.

[@spudnick2010]

It felt like Will was the only one that actually cared about the game.

[@nicholashurst780]

spudnick2010 that's half the episodes of this show?

[@TheOriginalElkstone]

Bruh there was an agenda to push. Can't be playing board games while bellyaching

[@derekstiles5801]

TheOriginalElkstone I know. Can you believe they didn’t censor “Chick?” Lol.

[@Replicatedknight]

Is it sad that tabletop is the only reason I still sub to Geek & Sundry?

[@knighthawk3749]

Cartoonfox same here. Plus Escape Rooms. I just don't have time to watch the 3 hr RPG videos. They are probably good, but too long for me.

[@legendkiller625]

Same here. It's the only show I watch on here. Also hoping that Titansgrave comes back at some point.

[@rlbarney2]

Unfortunately even Table Top is not enough to keep me subscribed. Thankfully it is usually on the recommended list so I don't have to search for it.

[@si2foo]

not really sad but i would say pointless geek and sundry have to make tabletop if they want to stay afloat

[@srwapo]

Cartoonfox Same, unless the Magic show comes back.

[@chriswright1001]

5 years later and I am still waiting on more of TableTop

[@JosKampes]

There wont be more... but deep inside I have the same

[@danielangelov91]

Never heard of Rhea before. I haven't missed a thing.

[@jacopobertolotti5025]

I feel a distinctive lack of Owlbears in this episode.

[@Raeorri]

I look forward to ever episode. I've watched all the season, at least twice, and will be sad when this season is over. :( My game collection has grown a lot because of this show and I've gotten a lot of my friends into board games again. Thank you so much!

[@skylarstephens2952]

When you have been watching tabletop forever and realize that the table bed leans towards camera.

[@Sporkekw]

"Let see what's happening here" .... Imidiatly a song has started to play in my brain:"I see what's haplening here...."

[@skrimshaw72]

Does anyone else have a voice in their head singing Guns-n-Roses parodies while watching this? “Welcome to the dungeon, we’ve got fun and games…”

[@skrimshaw72]

Note to self: Watch at least 6-7 min of the show before posting a comment. :D

[@themole0331]

I love the unadulterated honesty and comedy that is Wil Wheaton.

[@Uberdemon0666]

No joke. I was thinking of how this game hasn't been played on this show 2 days ago. I knew it would be an awesome show! It's almost as if it was Will-ed into existence.

[@haygirlhayy]

"I prefer Wizard because it has a Z in it. I like pizza."

[@JeskaDax]

The fact that Becca's name is now used synonymously with the concept of cheating on Table Top is AMAZING! Also... WTG Wil! and... uhh... gg everyone else too!

[@jaspr1999]

You're such an awesome young man Wil. Thank you very much for sharing your gaming fun! I love your guests.

[@dcpack]

His efforts to disguise his age appear to be working on some one. Glad you enjoyed the show.

[@Tfin]

He's younger than some.

[@nozhki-busha]

Look as good as he does when you are his age and give me a call and your secret :P

[@TheOriginalElkstone]

Yeah but he is a man so clearly evil and useless /s

HEY JANET, I WANT MORE "ESCAPE"!! SO GET TO IT, DANGIT!

[@deathrace8287]

Best intro yet. I said GOODDAY SIR!!

[@BrotherAlpha]

1:20 ... Normally I don't do that, but when you told me not to, I did it. It was like I had no choice.

[@georginacalvarad4763]

BrotherAlpha me too

[@Nozoki]

I love that the trophy given out for a fantasy D&D theme game was an AWANA award.

[@viviers2511]

I am feeling like we need matpat from THE GAME THEORISTS to be in ONE EPISODE of TABLETOP, I wanna see the geek table in its finest form

[@_UPRC]

Was trying to figure out which episode to watch and then I saw Janet Varney's name and I knew I had to click this one. I love her voice.

[@pikkuadi]

I wouldn't want to shock anyone but...Janet is 41!

[@robertjoasilus5230]

DeadDodo I love her smile.

[@dcpack]

Not shocked.

[@LimeymanZero]

You have got to send that 'Third Book' award to Pat when Doors of Stone is out!

[@kryptkeeper2303]

If Hector Navarro wants a nickname we can all call him Navi

[@daigo9911]

When Wil talked about his 2 strengths at 8:20, I for sure thought one of them was going to be that the game doesn't involve dice rolling XD

[@GosiaStarzycka3980]

The princess bride reference. OMG yes.

[@JaeLim1121]

I love that Wil won an Awana plaque! Love the random selection of awards for this show!

[@arkt1k330]

"you poor unfortunate soul, it's sad, but true" unless you made up that intro story to amuse us all, in which case it worked!

[@theframe100]

Wil: Going into the dungeon plays into my strengths... he doesn't stop to think about things... Cue montage of Wil's 'Mathing it out trances' that he has had while playing board games.

[@theframe100]

Also, in the lore of that round, the barbarian burned down all the minions and seduced / was seduced by the vampire ;) She kept his chain shirt, though.

[@doriancostley9075]

You know, we as the audience can never know for certain that Will was telling the truth at the beginning of the video. That could have been the introduction story that they planned from the beginning and none of that stuff would have actually happened. The world will never know.

[@TheOriginalElkstone]

I like the idea they intentionally brought on a vapid hole of a guest in order to cover up the comments bringing this up. It's a hell of a conspiracy theory

[@phantazmgaming]

I need Janet Varney's escape room show back!!

[@Hsewell]

Effing Janet STOP bending the cards!!

[@caenir]

finally somebody else noticed it

[@justinnyugen7015]

She takes her duties as Avatar very seriously. She bends the elements, the fifth being cards.

[@erridian6838]

XD It was driving me nuts too!

2 60s' rock references, 2 Princess Bride references, and 2 great puns. I love TableTop

[@vedritmathias9193]

"Welcome to the Dungeon! We got orcs and knives!" Also, this game plays to Wil's 3rd strength: Not rolling dice.

[@urmel8239]

I'm just so happy. I needed this today! And then the best intro ever happened.

[@OLApplin]

Janet Varney is amazing! Her smile, her humour, I'm in love!

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

Janet: "I will set up a P.O. box solely for guacamole." Me: Aw, the real welcome, was the guacamole we met along the way!

[@surfacingcom]

Not one "Dammit, Janet" the whole game? :)

[@dan_zehner]

Well done Wil! I almost yelled out in my office in victory with you. :)

[@davebush1737]

are we going to get another season of Titans grave I just got done finishing it on TV and I went to see more

[@bobburns718]

Best intro of the season so far

[@cafedruid9532]

"Welcome to the dungeon we've got fun and bored games".

[@dpan97]

This maybe the best opening to tabletop in the show history lol

[@PlaylistCZ]

I am like in love with Janet, I love her crazy eyes and her crazy acting in Stan A.E. but her bending the cards.... aah man. But I can't help it, those crazy eyes are my kryptonite.

[@leodouskyron5671]

I did not watch this one because one one said Will won and I did not want to see it that day. And now months later I get around to seeing it and I liked it. The first time I have been happy to see Will win - because he then had time to shout out a person that provided the trophies.

[@rastasplash7334]

Lady this lady that lady lady lady.... ok we get it.

[@DeathandBeeZ]

It is the magical episode of the season

[@AaronCasey92]

I loved this ep. I wish there was another round, cuz it was so good. Maybe next season? ;D

[@cobrax236]

The ending hahah :D Wil Wheaton is freakin hilarious! :D

[@audioweasel6997]

"gross"..... Sure, like you've never worn yesterday's T-shirt before lol

[@Pekasue]

100% The best intro ever in the history in Table Top

[@Krishnath.Dragon]

Welcome to the dungeon! We've got fun and games, We've got every roll you need, Player we know your name...

[@romantheflash]

Wow, that's a very quick and fun game there. I like it. The bluffing games are fun and intense. Nice job Wil.

[@SapphireDragon357]

Players: This character is a woman. I'm a woman. I like this character because we have that in common. Comments: OMG FEMINISM RUINED THIS EPISODE WHY DON'T WOMEN JUST SHUT UP! Wow, folks. Just... wow...

[@jonatanekelund5667]

SapphireDragon357 People really are rather touchy it seems. I quite enjoyed the show.

[@Tfin]

Right? That sounded more like a joke to me, watching it.

[@si2foo]

i thought jokes were meant to be funny my mistake

[@LockeWick]

While the episode wasn't ruined, my eyes got tired of rolling around in their sockets. The jokes were pretty painful.

[@blakesmith5092]

It wasn't the woman to woman connection for me, but rather the political comments. They just seemed forced in for the point of making a feminist joke. The episode wasn't ruined but I didn't find it very funny.

[@ActionNerdGo]

I just find the idea of Will Wheaton giving out an Awana Bible Memory award to be especially hilarious.

[@catwhowalksbyhimself]

I think that the real problem with them episode is that this is a horrible game choice. Don't get me wrong, Welcome to the Dungeon is a fantastic game and one of my favorites. I play it all the time. There's nothing to see though. It's just people looking at cards and tossing them down. It's fantastically fun to play,. but really boring to watch. This has forced all the cast to focus on innane chatter trying, desperately to be interesting, because watching the game isn't. This is the real source for all the complaining. The cast are forced to say annoying things because there's nothing else to see. But it is a serious fun game and you should buy it. Just don't watch any more internet videos of people playing it.

[@Undrave]

OMG I identified with Hector's nickname envy SO HARD! My name is one syllable long, you can't make nicknames out of that! ;_;

[@freelancerspecialagentwash8845]

Hell yeah legend of korra!

[@buzzybee5416]

LoK is nothing compared to avatar the last air bender

[@mikepictor]

I like LoK better actually (though they are both great)

[@MysteriousStranger50]

I know right? Its not even comparable, no where near the same level. That movie was so good I cried. Shyamalan is a genius.

[@docnevyn5814]

Wow you totally subverted my expectations, just like...uhm

[@FlokiVT2]

LOK is just the feminazi wet dream version of Avatar.

[@AndrewDouglas-go3dl]

Neat stuff. The more I watch him explain each game I follow more and more and better understand..

[@alpacasaurusrex]

Tabletop needs to come back.

[@orbitingpluto3213]

Hard agree.

[@EALionheart]

One of my favorite games of all time! I'm glad you guys had fun with it.

[@masterclif]

Dangit, I was skipping to the end, and he caught me.

[@mrmacken]

Your intro helps me feel better about my own failures. Thank you Wil.

[@philipepeters]

Why haven't you played 7 wonders yet?

[@EightThreeEight]

Wil always said that he likes 7 Wonders, but it just wouldn't have worked with the format of the show.

[@obj-g1732]

How cool that you got to play a game with the kid from Terminator 2!

[@jbbmailbox]

Rhea Butcher should NEVER be on the show. again. She killed the mood and I stopped watching at 12:20 due to her.

[@arturocaissut1071]

Jeff Briggs I agree.

[@geckot9465]

8:55 for me

[@matta5498]

She?

[@ExoticOnTheBeat]

Matt A yeah, that is a girl who wants to be a guy.

[@thewarriorpainter9159]

I had to stop at 8:53 the cringe is strong with these people.

[@zachmundy519]

Am i the only one that thought Will needed a hug after he walked off after the intro? He looked so mad/sad.

[@StratFootballBroadcasts]

I watched just for Janet.

[@lockonstratos7787]

7 min in sorry can't do it iv seen them all until this season can't find one that I can actually watch all the way.

[@MartyNozz]

Is Rhea a comedian? Did I not hear that right?

[@Darkvoid2100]

She looks like a man and is clearly a feminist. Don't put her career down please.

[@pm146]

she's also not funny and blinks like an idiot. Every time she had one of the 4th wall breaks she blinked with her left eye first and then her right. It's so pompous.

[@Monki_29]

so a feminist that looks like a man... more fucking reason to put her career down boi

[@LordSathar]

Lotsa comedians in the world, less successful ones.

[@TheBlueSuperDude]

I truly wish this show would come back it was my favourite place to watch board games

[@SebastianWeinberg]

Interesting thing about the elephant in the jungle in the room: It's actually an _African_ elephant. I know, right? Totally unexpected. Heck, even the _elephant_ didn't expect it. He's all, " _Whuuuh??_ Where are the endless grasslands of the southern veldt? What am I supposed to do with this many trees and dense underbrush?"

[@4hm35319hd0h5]

Awesome XD

[@Reecer77]

To be fair, it should've expected that the jungle was at least in part artificial when it first entered the room.

[@chelseaberries7191]

Did you know grapes can kill dogs? I laughed so hard!

[@finfan7]

I think the reason everyone is filling the comments with complaints about feminism is that the show just wasn't that funny this time. I mean, how often does Will get to say he was, far and away, the most entertaining person on set.

[@TheOriginalElkstone]

In 2017? Pretty much every episode

[@andrewappleman4177]

LOVE the Princess Bride references. Best episode EVER

[@kj1h5kj]

Rhea got a little tiresome to watch with the repetitious feminism. Nothing against feminism, but she really comes off as a one dimensional, uninteresting personality. Everyone else was great, though. Love a good push your luck or bluffing game, so this is a natural win!

[@joshmountain9705]

I agree

[@buddhamack1491]

Not just that, she was such a try hard at being funny and just failed every time

[@MrHauress]

always love this show, some episodes are better than others, depending on the players and game.

[@Savalisk]

This episode felt lack luster compared to others this season. I felt this season, Wil Wheaton lacked the same energy he had in previous seasons. Where he was more excited and eager previously, now it seems more like "business as usual" and calm.

[@xerpenta]

Seems like the Wheatons curse is growing stronger. We need to be on a lookout for any signs of mutations.
