If you're a fan of tabletop games like Settlers of Catan, Risk, and Lords of Waterdeep, then you probably already know about Wil Wheaton's collaboration with Felicia Day and Geek & Sundry over on youtube. If you don't already know about this, then you might just be the luckiest person in the whole wide world, because you can watch two full seasons of Tabletop and not know how many times Wil loses. Spoiler/Hint: It's a LOT. But, the main point is he and his fellow gamers have a blast even when they lose because of the social aspect of tabletop games.

In the past, Tabletop has been bankrolled by Google, but now they want to produce the show indepedently. Let the conspiracy theories and/or rejoicing begin! However, what this means is that the show needs to be fully funded to produce another season and maintain the quality that will satisfy Wil and his cohorts. So, off to indiegogo, it is!

"The X-Files" Coming to a Tabletop Near You!

The truth is out there, and you will find it in your very own living room! IDW Games recently announced that this summer they will be releasing game based off of the early seasons of "The X-Files." Players can choose between Agents Mulder or Scully in an attempt to expose conspiracies while facing off against numerous villains. Read the full press release for all the details!

"Players will get the chance to take on the role of Mulder, Scully, and the X-Files team as they work to uncover global conspiracies and threats while going up against various members of the Syndicate.

“To me, there’s no more exciting title than 'The X-Files',” says IDW Director of New Business, Jerry Bennington. “Who wouldn’t want the chance to play as the wise-cracking Fox Mulder or the incredibly intelligent Dana Scully? And what show created more classic villains than 'The X-Files'? I still remember the first time I laid eyes on Flukeman; now we’ll give fans the chance to lose sleep all over again!”
