Conludo: A New Era in Tabletop Gaming Entertainment

Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton, the beloved duo behind the hit web series ‘TableTop,’ are reuniting for a brand-new tabletop gaming show, ‘Conludo.’ The 10-episode series, which is currently in production, will be tied to the ongoing Kickstarter campaign for ‘The Guild: Ren Faire’d’ movie reunion, a project spearheaded by Day herself.

Conludo is Latin for ‘play together,’ and that’s exactly what Day and Wheaton plan to do in each episode of their new show. The series will feature the two hosts engaging in conversation before selecting a board game that relates to their topic. They will then invite fellow celebrities to join them in playing the game, creating an entertaining and interactive experience for viewers.

When asked about the inspiration behind Conludo, Day explained, ‘We’ve been FOMO-ing for over a decade, and we just want to play again, especially with some of those new content creators. Some of them I’ve met in the last couple of years, and I want to play with them at the table.’ Day’s enthusiasm for Conludo is evident, and it’s clear that she’s passionate about creating a show that highlights the joy of tabletop gaming.

Wheaton added, ‘With ‘TableTop,’ it was important to me that we showcase games that are in print, that are available. After a few episodes, we realized, oh no, we have to tell distributors so they can up their buys because things are selling out so quickly. ‘Conludo’ will give us an opportunity to come at it differently because if ‘TableTop’ was about what’s happening on the table, ‘Conludo’ is about what’s happening around the table while we’re playing the game together.’

The guest stars for Conludo have been announced, and they include Todd Stashwick, Anjali Bhimani, Grace Helbig, Mamrie Hart, and John Ross Bowie. Day emphasized that the show will focus on the experience of playing games together, rather than just the games themselves. ‘We can play games that there are 40 copies of in the world,’ she said.

Day’s roots in web content creation are evident in Conludo, and she’s excited to be returning to her roots with this new project. ‘I was really early on everything,’ she said. ‘I was told that people wouldn’t want to be watching people play board games. I was told that the web was not a place for narrative fiction. I was told that streaming D&D was a waste of money. And these are all things that I did first.’

Regarding the distribution of Conludo, Day and Wheaton are considering their options, including creating their own channel or using an existing platform. ‘We want to explore all the options and figure out what’s best for the audience,’ Wheaton said.

As for the ‘The Guild: Ren Faire’d’ movie reunion, Day expressed her gratitude to the Kickstarter backers, who have raised over $5.26 million for the project. ‘Of course, our backers are No. 1,’ she said. ‘I want to make sure they’re happy. They get all their fulfilled goods. They get the movie first in exactly the format we promise them.’

Day also mentioned that the Blu-ray option was a key factor in the project’s success, with fans willing to pay extra shipping for the exclusive version. ‘Our fans loved the Blu-ray; it was the minimum requested thing,’ she said.

With the ‘The Guild: Ren Faire’d’ movie reunion currently on track to surpass the record for the largest crowdfunded film, Day is optimistic about the project’s future. ‘We didn’t make it past the first round’ for the California tax credit, she said, ‘but we’re going to need all that funding to make the movie we envision.’

In conclusion, Conludo is a new tabletop gaming show that promises to bring entertainment and excitement to fans of the genre. With its focus on the experience of playing games together, Conludo is set to become a must-watch for anyone interested in tabletop gaming.

Conludo is just the beginning for Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton, who are reuniting for a new adventure in the world of tabletop gaming entertainment. With their passion for the subject and their experience in creating engaging content, Conludo is sure to be a hit with fans.

For now, fans can look forward to the release of ‘Conludo’ and the ‘The Guild: Ren Faire’d’ movie reunion, both of which promise to bring excitement and entertainment to the world of tabletop gaming.
