Watch It Played Engage You In Some Table Talk
May 4, 2013 by brennon
You guys know by now that one of my favourite shows on Youtube is the Watch it Played! series by Rodney Smith and his children, Andrea and Luke. Well, Rodney has got together a new format called Table Talk where he puts a question to us, the community...
In this series he will be putting forwards a series of questions about gaming in general, with his first episode being a quick description of how he learns to play a game.
Then through video and textual responses he hopes to engage a sense of communication with the audience. I've already talked about how I learn a game in the comments section so head over there and do the same.
While you're at it drop a comment here too (just Copy & Paste it) and let us know what works for you when you've got a new game.
An interesting new show!

Also I think I don’t have good abstract reasoning abilities so hands on someone showing me is best, but then my poor memory kicks in and I forget what to do. I would take up knitting but I keep losing count of the stitches lol BTW Dice Tower have just put up a review if a SDE expansion set. Thought Rodney’s play through of SDE was excellent! I want some lucky mittens. My dice rolling… Read more »
