**jbmacek** · 11-04-2014 05:47

Cool. Hopefully he'll do it. He reaches a pretty wide audience.

yes its a youtube/web show that features various tabletop games hosted by the guy who played wesley crusher on star trek the next generation. it has a wide audience and has increased the following of many of the games featured on it.

**bmwrider** · 11-04-2014 06:10

I would love to see him do it.
Who doesn't like old school WWI fighter planes.

Thanks Phil. That clears it up.

I saw a still capture (picture) of him from one of his shows. There is a shelf full of games behind him and two of them are Wings of War box sets. (Ace of Aces and Burning Drachens, I think, based on the colour.)

**Smitch** · 11-04-2014 09:53

That's a great idea! I would love to see WoG featured on Table Top.

**Banana Joe** · 11-04-2014 11:51

Great. His show is allways nice to watch.

He's actually doing a good job guest staring on Big Bang Theory. That's about the only sit-com I can watch

I figure if we post in different places on the table top site it may make it on the show, he just needs to see that there is enough interest.
This is where I posted http://geekandsundry.com/shows/tabletop/

Personally, I think the best Wil Wheaton scene ever was when Richard Chamberlain took him down with a cane.

“Wow, you are super old. Thank you for the history lesson. Maybe later you can tell us about that one time you punched Hitler in the face….” — Chaos (WW)
“I own two canes: One, with a Taser capable of delivering 10,000 volts; the other extends a 6-inch stiletto blade.” — Archie (RC)
“Which one is, is this one?” — Chaos, referring to the cane Archie had pressed against his neck
“Well, I don’t seem to remember; I am *pause* 'super old.'” — Archie

Makes me bust a gut every time...

It must work because the Millennium Falcon and R2 D2 both feature in the Star Trek films....... do a search!

Poor old Wil, he was one of the most unpopular members of the cast of Star Trek NG for no other reason that he was young and the fans hated the Wesley Crusher stories. It got to the stage where even the Star Trek CCG picked up the trend and produced the 'Wesley Gets The Point' card where you scored one extra point for getting Wesley Crusher killed.

So.. it came the time that I was playing the CCG and I was a few points short. What did I do? I put Wesley Crusher on my allied Klingon ship, I played 'Self Destruct' and I scored points for 'Death With Honour', 'Klingon Death Yell' and 'Wesley Gets The Point'.

Yes I won the game! (Sorry Wil)

personally i hated the character because we didnt need another super space wiz kid character type especially in star trek. leave that crap to the spce comic operas where it belongs..........

**Flying Helmut** · 11-09-2014 13:19

"We come in peace - shoot to kill!"

Love it!

**csadn** · 11-09-2014 15:32

"Star Trekkin'" is still a popular selection on _The Dr. Demento Show_ -- and it was a staple when I listened to it regularly in grade school....

(The con I attended this weekend, I got to break out the tale of how my FASA _ST RPG_ character killed a D7 using an unarmed warpshuttle, and the docking-bay doors of a space station....)

And I assume you were all in favour of 'Wesley Gets The Point'?

The picture was from a 'Q' generated episode where Wesley was bayoneted.
