TableTop: Wil Wheaton plays MYSTERIUM

before we start today's show I need to tell you something very important that you might not want to hear real talk guys ghosts it's not real it's no such thing as ghosts ghost hunters are never going to find the ghost mediums are never going to talk to a departed spirit and psychics psychics are full of crap what will we need you protests there are so many basic-cable paranormal shows that feature everyone you just described and also there's that ghost bro guy okay person who wants to believe I hear you and because I love you I'm going to meet you halfway for today only I'm going to pretend that all that crap is real and totally not something that predatory people used to cash in on the grief-stricken or cheap programming that networks used so that they can sell shake weights to the very stoned who are watching basic cable at 2:00 a.m. so today on tabletop we're going to imagine that ghosts are real and that mediums can communicate today on table we're going to imagine that a murder most foul has occurred and the spirit of the dearly departed will attempt to communicate with three very real and totally not fake mediums so that the perpetrator can be uncovered and brought to swift justice today on tabletop David Kwan Laura Bailey and Shannon Woodward are here to flex their psychic powers and solve the mystery or if you will the mysterium was very hard to work the title of this game into this [Music] the cerium is a cooperative communication game designed by Alexander Nevsky and Oleg Sidorenko and I hope I pronounced your names correctly it is best summed up as Dixit meets clue or Pluto if you're British in mysterium one player is the ghosts and other players will be the total real and not at all fake psychic mediums the very first in history whom the ghost is attempting to communicate with in the story of the game the mediums have gathered in a haunted house on Halloween in an effort to identify who killed the ghost where and with what so the ghost can stop with the haunting and get on with the being dead already the thing is the ghost has and I am NOT making this up it is in the rules amnesia and is struggling to remember all the details of its murder so the ghost and the psychics work together to reconstruct the events of the night it was killed narrowing down a pool of suspects locations and items used in the murder this is a part of the game that is very much like a clue or if the other one if you're British every round each player will receive a different psychic vision from the ghost and that's represented by this deck of cards right here the psychic that attempts to correctly interpret this vision to identify the suspect then the location and then finally the object involved in the murder so this communication mechanic is the heart of the game and it's the part that is very much like Dixit here is the graphics department to show you how the ghost sets up the game [Music] thanks post-production team you're the best now you need to know something important about humans and ghosts they can only communicate for a short time when their worlds intermingle on October 31st that is actually a true scientific fact so this means that the players only have seven hours or rounds in-game terms to discover all of the clues and move on to the final round where they have one chance to solve the murder together if they're right everyone wins if they're wrong everyone loses the frogurt is also cursed so who done it and more importantly will we be able to find out when we're going to try because it is time to play mysterion [Music] hello everybody welcome to mysterium I'm playing the ghost in the stereo and people at home which is why I'm sitting in this chair instead of the usual chair where I am the part of me today will be played by Laura Bailey hi I'm Louise well you're my favorite person on all of the Internet the setup for this is the most boring thing in the world to watch so we have set up everything before the game began the game is beginning and now as the ghost I'm going to go silent tonight I have definitely two possibly three legitimate actual psychic mediums the the only ones in the world as far as I know who will be able to help me remember who murdered me and where and how I died my character gentleman is this way he's a numerologist Alphonse did you goo goo goo is my character he loves the numbers he's a numerologist that's his clairvoyant power what's yours cheryl/carol sighs okay oh that's a good one jessalyn Smith is from Rochester New York where I am from so I ended up with a beautiful upstate New York tarot card reader and you assign as character to me so I thought some gender swapping would be lovely where's the big gender swapping here at tables are great because we're fully in support of gender swapping the mute ghost is fond of gender swapping oh no that's not the ghost of me yeah oh okay yeah no the ghost the ghost is unpleasant Lee not possessed my name is Alma Salvador and I am a clairvoyant with a pendant and a chain and I think she was raised in a convent actually and then kicked out when she found out about her supernatural powers which is pretty freakin cool I've given you guys all of your hearts what we're going to do is we're going to go one two three flip and then Time Lord then type in Time Lord Time Lord we'll start the timer and once you're three flip go okay Time Lord times up I am kind of like fire here I haven't played this game with David before so I don't know if he's going to be literal or if he's going to be symbolic there is only one card on the board that has this sort of red moving color and that is the knitting needle lady with her yarn and I'm hoping that he'll just pick up on that or let that one of the other players will pick up on that I've got the animal Oh animals I have no idea what this could possibly mean I think that our poor ghost got some real crap cards there there are no animals anywhere on any of these I think that's the key you can see like a tight and animal and anything that would help I mean if he was a hunter that'd be one thing because I have a fishing rod Souza was worried that maybe didn't walk in your water he's got bag ties maybe that's like surrounded by water Scotland there a carriage on any of those do you see one they carry got the other Saturday that okay can I'm just gonna go I'm just gonna go for it I don't know oh goodness alright honey I shall I'm gonna pick and I think you're wrong so I'm gonna be session no that helps us it helps us [Music] you better shoot man I'm only seeing red I'm going to go with this woman so first I'm thinking it looks a lot like the magician's wand but then I see this horse and buggy and I think aristocratic knitting woman can I do that can I also do this she's good as human I want to do that just cuz I see the red there I'm going with the red I'm going with the one clue that I have is is red material and there's a red ball of yarn on the Knitting lady and she's gonna be my choice I don't know if it's right it just seems that the best of this situation I better just go for it I'm gonna say Kwang is wrong I like my choice but how do I know who I'm voting on yes or no on there you just say it I'm going don't have to use me or yes four o'clock yesterday and we have three rounds to use these things up yes for you and I think I think years oh wow working they're all coming out okay what do you think how are we doing imitation here look sweetie please please please please be right getting a sign I'm getting a sign of the tango that I'm being held back around I know Laura better than anyone at this table I should be able to communicate very very clearly to her exactly what I want her to guess and if she's not getting it that's on me okay but we do get a you get it where your clairvoyance is strong [Music] this doesn't exactly scream magician but it'll be you know not scream magician now did I guess against that option no no I'd yes - right man oh I mean I get organized so we we're almost together oh you're so brilliant yeah I'm really happy this is a cooperation game Shannon's one of my best friends when we play games together and it's a head-to-head she gets really mad when I take her out it's really good to be on her team for this if I said okay those are out for now we'll get back we'll get those back in round four all right so that was the first round it was the first hour towards 8:00 so we're now my gosh in round two gotta get mother numerology I know my pendant is because I'm lacking my pendant was miss weighted I think and them I I always channeled imagining I'm holding a chain there's a pendulum swing and you hold it over your hand like this I have no idea if that's how you really do it but in my head this is how you do it Oh cross the Raven I think this poll that soars really because I said about the one to those yeah bagpipe Shannon stinking magician and believe it or not even though I am one I'm going with the guy with the sword David immediately got defensive about the other magician because magicians defend other magicians even in cases of friendly ghosts murder the sword was the most salient object in this car it is the thing that pops out it's the defining object in the soldiers card I'm telling her to go for that I still can't you can't not her like me figure out what these frickin mandibles mean I think the ghost is still working out you know how to communicate with with me as a as a medium right now I'm not getting too many too many signs it's kind of difficult what about me the Wheel of Time is like maybe it's water in this sea we just don't know of our ghost is like a shape guy I know we're learning about our code I know forward or oh we all have call cards no more cards it goes just goes to the ghost ID okay I can't talk to you cuz you can maybe save cards for later that you you'll need for later I see so yes the ghost can do many things as a calculation I said as I got I said as a guy who's like you know not a ghost right dude hanging out everybody they just want to make sure everything's good things look like they're going great okay very nice yeah cool I'm going to leave now okay and their ghosts might come back but anyway good luck with your vision thanks man so you guys can go ahead and I are about 1 2 3 flip oh ok I haven't read or now much-traveled wadis oh yeah you got another a giant another thing okay now Shannon's getting a second long object and it's also would thus order that the wand you know it should really go either way okay wait I would guess now I've got water in an aisle a woman crossing a bridge well you're a woman then well potentially Amazon there's only one which is good only one woman I kind of follow these shapes I saw this shape before and that that's that I would I'm going to double down on that I have a an owlbear let's go see I would say you're in the Attic with these other guys oh I think so the cold is there anything cloud what do I was like looking at this book and you grab this open book right here as well true oh that's tough but I don't know like this makes me feel like honesty you that's a good fall of the book I chose this card because it has a book on it and David's been really good at picking up my literal expressions of what are on the cards I want him to choose incidentally this is my favorite card in the game and I sure wouldn't mind having it as a piece of artwork to hang on my wall I'm gonna I'm gonna yeah I like that I like that I feel like I might guess wrong here you go it's a woman this is like the passage of time maybe all right I'm going to go watchmaker I have this card has a bridge and a woman crossing over a bridge and there's water and I don't know for some reason this makes me feel like a passage of time or you know seeing I don't know why that's what I get also there's no other women on the table and there's a woman on my card so it's got to be the watchmaker right I hope and then what do you think about this I think the book the book seems so what's grabbing you the middle well well otherwise I would have said this but that book is so good color yeah maybe maybe the book okay we're out of time we better are we betting anything I feel like no I'm very I don't know all of it I'm gonna work so that's that's it we're done okay ghosty come I come I come I come I come [Music] yeah good job thank you awesome you're so good at this game well I've been spending well okay so that's not right got to be the magician or the bagpipe player David Wong was no help David Wong convinced me that the sword was the correct way to go I should have gone with magician although I feel like it's I feel like if every little fact my brother the wand of the stick that's not really awesome yeah I think that numerology is failing failing Shannon our clairvoyant here I'm not saying that Shannon is a fake psychic but I am seeing Shannon is a fake psychic all right cool okay I'm feeling good I'm feeling smug but I didn't do it on my own I can't take full credit we really got to work on getting our clairvoyance points on yeah well this okay so now we're done with that round so we go to here okay and we get all the clairvoyance points back at four so we need to use them up on yeah okay so use them off I'm getting a sign I'm going to give Laura this card because it really looks to me like an egg that maybe in a frying pan and I want her to guess the kitchen man thank you I just don't really have any cards that scream hey it's the shears so I'm giving David this card it's got a knight on it which sort of has a sword kind of but then like back behind this hourglass or all these little pointy things that could maybe be considered sharp so I just drew this card that looks kind of like doves or like gloves so if I give her both of these together it's going to affirm for her that the magician is correct oh hey guys it's just me papa back here I go yeah good good you guys looks like some of you were better psychics than others well uh butters thought I'd come in to say hello and make sure do you need anything pizzas yeah keep it get some pizzas yeah sure it's on the way it is totally on the way anyways probably time to get to like flick your cards and I feel like you're going to get some visions and I'm super afraid of ghosts because ghosts are real and I'm just going to take off now so I'll see you later all right here we go okay right in 1 2 3 flip Oh a big giant egg breaking so I have this card and to me immediately this looks like this looks like a cracked egg so that sounds like kitchen you crack eggs in the kitchen so I'm going with kitchen this is clearly the magician we've got a wing like oh yeah yeah I am green I better myself no no okay all right so I'm trying to find the weapon the ghost has given me this hourglass there's a knight in it I'm kind of ignoring the night that doesn't seem to be the thing for me I'm going to go with the material which is glass there's only one glass weapon here so that's definitely I think it's got to be that right they are sort of flasks yeah I agree I think that look so much well the laws also just have that but I think you're right we might find another glad to glass all so I'm going to go with kitchen because when you break an egg years lay in the kitchen okay it didn't go time tell me I'm right or you tell me I'm right the lights in the pond liquor Thunder crashes outside a bus drives by for some reason and then a marching band and as you feel the sympathetic vibrations grow in the room girl says put it right there and look at our clairvoyance we both got that tuned smell engage through is it ghost maybe it's a good kitchen oh yeah I get a clairvoyant hey you guys want against me I don't you both yes I said I could I got you're right finish it uh go get my okay hey crowd cheers not that big a smaller crowd a little bigger than that yes a crowd of that size choose as the ghost says oh that is not I had got done here I didn't even stink oh right dummy it's an hourglass they're gonna think it's the poison vial and now I see that it has flowers on it so maybe they're gonna think it's the vase it probably would have been better for me to just a fart in my hand and give David that alright so that was another round so now we are going to the fourth oh my goodness we're halfway done so Milly I think maybe right at the v-shape yeah yeah I don't going to be I think it's got to be today oh you know what just look at the flowers and the vaisya is that same shape okay but that mean him no man that just sounds good I cannot wait till that guy comes back I don't know why this pizza guy seems to be so poor this job because starving and there is zero pizza on this table I love the pizza guy I love the pizza guy I wish he would have really followed through with that and brought in some pizza cuz I'm getting a little hungry not gonna like this it's kind of embarrassing really yeah I didn't do a magician hot-hot caught up the ghost this really makes me think of the Attic that I want Shannon to talk about we have the circle for the moon we have the circle for the ad we have this color that kind of represents the whole color scheme and all that breaking a lot of very soft glass oh I'm giving David these two cards because they both have sharp edges on this is the only thing these two cards have in common or feeling good about this right those two cards I bet will support the vase unless this card has a vase on it with a line through it you were right I'm not the vase not the vase and it's pronounced revived oh it's a vase come on David it's a base its vase unless you are pretentious in which case it is Vaz or you're a huge fan of Titans grave in which case I named our big elf old guy maybe nemesis person after water because I like the way it sounded boss I think we're ready are we ready hey you guys I'm the wacky next-door neighbors to the safe door and thinks everybody's everything - double entendre uh well I'm gonna go try to not get loud wife just remember some reason by Hawaiian Beetlejuice with next one two three four Oh painting and a chair with the snake what okay I've definitely got some outdoor thing and some garden party vibes I feel like it's this patio I'm seeing forests I'm seeing forests I'm seeing like outdoor moonlight vibes and then I see these two dancing humans I'm thinking wimzie i'm thinking garden party this is the garden porch 100% no questions I've got a chair on a wire first of all I don't like your choice but you guys don't like it I like it I think you're right okay what's your son what's your guess I don't I don't know okay um okay folks don't myself let's have a chat about it let me governing our head flowers and paintbrushes that could be the vase as well oh yeah maybe I'll go make that flowers is pretty bit yeah because we know it's not I mean look a snake comes out yeah I think that makes that year the vase the last round David had all the cards that I thought was pointing towards face and then I get these cards in front of me and now I am thinking I have the vase so I'm taking vase this time and even David in the dust and you have this looks like this you could me this is like a hammer breaking things I want to trap wait for the oil sharp I don't miss a sharpener I think it's for the red and don't you think that's sharp and that's sharp first of all I like your choice thank you these cards here are there they have weapons in them the battle axe is pretty clear the other card if you look in the corner you can see that there's like a metal trap so I feel like my gut tells me it's this kind of sharp object what we did have to do with that Tim I think it's this almost all the time only problem is that there's red and all of naked right that's the only thing they give a pause but also there's there's red and there's only one weapon here the case that has red lining once again I'm looking for things that differentiate it from everything else so I'm going to go with red and choose that one oh right each one has something red in it okay I do I want a box on the box I think so yeah I support that choice donors are the video what reduce it cuz I don't know what it would have to do with that right no I think you're sure is funny I think you're wrong thank you alright let's go I hope I'm right I can go I feel like I'm right go boom it's a naturally wool then I'm naturally cold then the room feels like it's full of bacon for some reason oh okay I did get a thing I thought you were right I really thought I really thought I was right - I know okay then the lights outside turn right and then doc and then bright again and somewhere in the room is a terribly noxious fart and the ghost says you are aw yes I'm 11 it's horrible and finally 91,000 dogs run across your faces as the ghost says first through all three who's the winner it's a team I need your it's a team it's a team effort I'm not the winner Matt and I go oh you're so close to getting double the okay we'll get there we'll get there so as you can see we don't have a ton of clairvoyance appoints we kind of screwed that up we just didn't use them we were saving them and didn't realize that the game was going to sort of get more narrow and we weren't gonna have an opportunity to use them so that was a total waste so we are in there our five-minute long night oh okay we got again we got to get in we've got two rounds any definite Matt we get around good okay okay just good I feel strongly that this is now this dress yeah this is this window yeah I think but but I have no idea what I am polygamists we got three rounds left and there's only three things left it could be so at least you know you're going to oh there's a I've been another nine of them is crossing I think our ghost is struggling having a hard time making some decisions there Purgatory's getting visions of a tense look and aggravated sighs growls gostaria is a serious condition that should be taken just go surveys also an Italian restaurant sorry I mean I hope the ghost works good or else I'm just going to keep coming up with this cartels look again I feel like that weird neighbors come over here any second Matt Garza hey everybody I'm your neighbor from the other side and I thought I would come on over and let you know that's their so gotta kick the poison in the water so y'all shouldn't drink it good luck with your visions Matt I feel like the neighbor next door is definitely the one that killed ago it's absolutely in the original cast of Oklahoma all right take your visions three two one sip okay oh I dropped hat is what does that have anything we got it's a bug well I've got this trees and hammock thing which I think maybe it's just the center of it and the windows with lots of wind over yeah I think you've definitely well and however I mean look at this and Scott like it when thing in the window but but there's no dress you have a dressing and what's this guy is a boat but it's a similar shape to this light here there's the whiteness in it which is consistent with that dress and then also this sort of like arrow a shape kind of fits the light coming down out of that window this is super super super abstract that's true and then like see this this reflection anything here feels like that to me okay yeah real good about it okay do it I'll bet on an event I'll bet on it as well that actually means a lot well we can bet we maybe that's more kind of rants about all right um what what is your house David because if she gets her yeah that's wrong it's gonna be easy okay so hopefully yours is gonna be wrong otherwise I want okay all right okay uh you have a hat with a bug underneath it and some cutlery I think he was going for sharpness now yeah I don't feel great about it but I'm gonna have to do this I'm gonna go with the shears I didn't choose it at first because that night the sword is like not quite there it's kind of dissolving it didn't really seem like a big part of that but now I can see that the ghost is trying to tell me metal sharp object a ghostly piano begins to play playing the Entertainer King the Entertainer then the ghostly piano plays chopsticks and finally the ghostly piano strikes a minor chord okay when it's the dread overwhelms you all as your vision is Comfort doesn't oh oh my god okay sure you have to do car that's good that's good it's good for all of us what wait there's more okay spiritual vibrations continue to thrum across the table Chris Hardwick delivers points because you are call right so you can hear the pocket okay guys I'm almost there with a few hours left and now figure this out we really need to get Shannon through we need to give her some help if we can't get her through then then we're not even going to get to guess on this final thing we have to you have to help each other out here so now we go like man we're at our six well we got this yeah so how about that it is our fourth season of tabletop we've played over 60 games on the show and I know better than to say haha we got this I think we got this knock knock knock hi I'm sewing magazine so I can take a school trip to the mall okay magazines you can choose from any one of these 700 magazines they cost $35 each and they'll be delivered to you in 21 to 65 weeks by the way this is not a scam I'm just going to leave the brochure with you guys and because you look like you're busy I'm and I'm going to be just rifling through your cabinets downstairs right so thanks a lot bye alright ready 1 2 3 flip oh okay all right regards to help stabby stabby could be formal we have tic-tac-toe on a beach but the Apple kind of looks like it's on the poison thing and both those things go around them right as green water green poison water I just heard them say oh that bottle of poison has liquid in it well this is like guys underwater right so there's clearly liquid in that all right that's good got a nother liquid liquid again this also has water in it which is liquid but it also has this little skull on it which is also poison maybe the poison a poison apple a poison apple of a thing and then I've got this Apple and poison apple they're thinking poison poison apple I've heard that from them so these three things together should lead them to poison apple poison jar of poison poison poison and then we have this scuba diver friend that's observable which looks like me out yep food circles don't talk yourselves into thinking this beans frying pan nothing on this as frying pan it clearly says poison Oh unless you use the frying pan to cook poison no no I'm doing it like I think I think it's probably better that would be my first we go so that my verse 17 calls are usually not good there's that to run karaoke number OMG he'd call chambre ratings calls dark they're okay hello I knew history never before the table this whole every seance needs a hermit who lives under the table I mean come on I feel like it's insulting your intelligence to explain this guy to you there are some there are some creepy people surrounding this house and the hermit under the table the table is causing some problems my girl I are you like poison is a good call it's good coli poison is a good call are you going to bed what okay here's nothing William Edwards no matter what you choose we've got a couple rounds left okay so we want to play this smart you can bet wrong that way you can get another clairvoyance you know I just think I'm figuring out the system I don't think there's anything wrong with that by trying to get as many clairvoyance points as possible but you know that was like a great idea it goes really great at an gaming the system so I think might as well just go for it because we can't get any higher anyway yeah today I'll do it alright I'm just for fun you're gonna bet a try it the ghost does not look proud hi I'm gonna go see Gary Gygax reminding you that Jesus hates meta gamers what is wrong what's wrong with my gaming I'm trying to get the amount of points that are that are available to me that's a good thing I want to win the game for all of us I actually don't know if the ghosts of Gary Gygax would have a problem with metagaming I feel like maybe he'd be okay with it the ghost of Wil Wheaton will haunt you until you die if you met a game and then and then after you die he will keep haunting you it feels as though the house is getting small and it shrinks down I didn't feel comfortable yes and then it grows up to ginormous height you're the size of ants but inside an ant farm so the apparent size hasn't changed at all but you watched and observed by freaky weirdos a faraman sounds yes just like that vampires go by the outside window next door your wacky neighbor gets even wackier as the sitcom soundtrack and yeah alright yeah I think the what I've learned from this game is that I'm always right the first time just not the second third fourth fifth sixth seventh or eighth time so this time I went with my first immediate genius guess and basically won the game for everyone I feel like [Music] for the fun of fun times Lauren tell the story of the murder who did it where and how well in my vision this creepy little old watchmaker wandered into the kitchen where our ghost was standing she raised a very expensive vase over her head I think she brought it in from the dining room although he keep hitting and cracked our ghosts over the head he doesn't die so she pulls out her teeny little utensils this is about to get really dark television what tell us about your tableau so the vibrations of the ghost sent my medium this situation that I'm looking at is is the Knitting lady and then there's this weird like satanic dungeon which is clearly beneath her house so she goes down there and and prays to some Dark Lord and she went down there with her garden shears and while the ghost to be was sweeping the floor and discovering our secret crypt she took the garden shears and stabbed him in the back and then she's and then when that didn't you she suffocated and when that he died of a heart attack was right exactly yeah yeah okay absolutely another high cholesterol I had the magician who went to the Attic apparently to murderer Friendly Ghost who was a human at the time with poison which I was a little disappointed with because if he's a real magician he should need poison completely unmagical are friendly yeah bad what a horribly ironic terribly like I'll show you that magic isn't real hahaha how I forgot to convince myself I'm the soda machine refill a guy there is there is I've stuffed it with bees oh yeah so I gotta leave now and I have fun with your ghosts I hope you can figure out who murdered it is how it sucks I love soda machine guy what's interesting about soda machine guy is that he refills a soda machine with bees and has never been fired happening a wills brain that's where it goes the soda machine filled with bees it's so messed up so now okay the ghost has remembered oh the ghost has recalled which one of these no-goodniks did him in okay remember that amnesia that I had I don't cuz it's gone now two of you it looks like are able to pick up one final sympathetic vibration and the ghost is going to show that to the two of you now I just got super super lucky I didn't know which suspect I was going to choose but I pulled this card and it has books on it there's only one card on the bar that has books on it so I think they're all going to get it off of just this one card this is the ghosts vision to to to look books books have been a huge thing in this because once we saw David's previous thing ads book books has to lead to David's David's scenario I'm voting number one there's no books in mind and that however there are large house of cards is the thing I delete these books are stacked like could that be a house of cards because my magician gentleman has like some cards on his butt no it's not a house of cards come on who does know who does that so at this point Laura and Shannon will vote you'll place your votes down secretly so just put them facedown I think that all of the scenarios were voting on our miniscule compared to the probability that chicken poison guy is the one that created a ghost in the first place here is the second condition the additional vision which is which is received because your psychic power is slightly less fake than theirs yeah well that is not helpful I mean it's no he'll like this clear that's a garden as clearly as a garden on it where you use garden shears that are next to the book dude don't bail on me now oh but garden garden shears started yet garden shears and also located at the Dark Lord in the center we were talking about remember are we allowed to talk this through with each other wait let me put on my mud my ghost is going to show his face oh that's horrible good you you've got a pretty tiny little thing this time here tonight you know what I wonder is it go on the green the baby goes small golden baby goes well on you man alright well I guess I'm gonna I'm not gonna tell you what I'm voting so alright the moment of truth is upon us reveal your votes well that's what do you okay yeah turn him over okay one number one we all pick them your psychic vibrations have led you to believe that it was old lady knitting needle in the dark crypt of murder death with the shears and you were well done guys not much so many talents maybe some from the ghost yeah yeah I tried for like t-rex you guys welcome to the wall of victory finally right right I know you guys have been on the show before it's very excited it's your first time one-on-one very excited not only do you get to stand in front of all the victims but you win the tabletop trophy of Awesome you can be sure that this is a real trophy just for tabletop it is not for craftsmanship in a junior varsity card derby and you know that because it has your name on

"Jesus hates metagamers" should be a t-shirt.

This episode was super fun. This and the dracula one are my favorites so far!

[u/Popcornio]

Despite the minor rule blunders, they made it look a lot more fun than anytime I've played the game.

Hey, did they play the last round incorrectly? I think you're supposed to pick three cards (one for the person, one for the location, one for the murder weapon), shuffle them and then reveal one at a time at random, which makes the whole part a lot more difficult.

It seems I've somehow played a much harder variant of this game. When I've played it, the vision cards can only be seen by the psychic they're given to and they have to describe the cards to the other players.

Loved it. I think this kind of games works very well with the humor of Wil and his friends. I understand that some of you are disappointed with the choice of games this season, but I think Mysterium was perfectly valid.

[u/kitaro53085]

Love Mysterium. Wil's antics were kinda over the top. But other than that, this really seemed to capture the feel of playing Mysterium. Especially when the ghost gives a clue that is OBVIOUSLY one thing, but then the psychic sees that the clue is OBVIOUSLY something entirely different.

Now I wanna go play again when I get home.

Why the hell aren't the guests in the title? When I see "TableTop" I KNOW Wil's going to be in it. Hell, I would stop putting his name in it at all, we all know he's the host of TableTop and I think half the people here wish he wasn't - it's like saying "Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay" or whatever.

David, Laura and Shannon are much more interesting, and are people who I would watch the video for. They should be in the title.

Great game, but /u/wil was really trying too hard to be the cool non-believer guy. We don't need to hear him tell us over and over the whole video that he totally doesn't believe in ghosts. Of course they're not real - why was he so proud of his acknowledgement of that? His belief is completely irrelevant to the enjoyment and playing of the game. It's odd that he did it for this episode, but he didn't spend any time talking about (for example) how magic isn't real when he played RPGs:

"Before we play FATE CORE today, I have a message for all my fans. Magic isn't real. Cultists can't really summon demons, plants can't really be sentient. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't exist - it's all a cheap ploy for gaming companies to sell cheap products to people who play in their parents' basements. But today, I'll meet you halfway, and just for this one time, pretend that they do exist. But they don't. Just sayin."

I mean, for crying out loud, he talks at the start of that episode about how he loves stepping outside the real world! Why does he feel the need to be so smug and superior in this episode? It made a potentially-great episode absolutely shitty.
