TableTop is a web series about games, directed by Jennifer Arnold. It was created by Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day and is hosted by Wheaton.TableTop is published on Felicia Day's YouTube channel, Geek & Sundry. In each episode, following a brief explanation of one or more tabletop games, Wheaton plays the games with guests, usually web or TV personalities.
A wide range of hobby gaming titles have been played, from classic German-style board games and family games to RPGs and card games. It has been described as "…like Celebrity Poker meets Dinner for Five, where interesting people got together for tabletop games."
As of 2016, TableTop is in its fourth season. Season three was crowdfunded via Indiegogo in May 2014 and was the most successful digital series campaign on that site until Con Man broke its record in March 2015.
On December 31, 2015, Wil Wheaton announced the fourth season of Tabletop would begin production in April 2016. Wheaton estimated early June 2016 for the release of the first episode but did not provide a firm release date. After filming ended in May 2016, Wheaton revised the estimated release to July 2016, but mentioned that he actually has no say over the release date. The list of games was released April 22, 2016 but not the final order or release dates. On July 28, 2016, Wheaton announced that release of season 4 was delayed, saying "Legendary has decided to delay the release of season four until later this year. As soon as we know exactly when it is, I'll make a big old announcement." On October 15, 2016, it was announced on Twitter that Season 4 of TableTop would premiere on November 2, with the first two episodes released on both YouTube and Legendary Digital Networks' subscription streaming service, Alpha, and the rest of the season initially only on Alpha but to be released on YouTube in early 2017. A Reddit comment made by Wheaton on the 13th of January stated that episodes should be released publicly on YouTube starting the week of the 30th of January.
