Today is: :star: International Tabletop Day :game_die:

In 2012, Geek & Sundry launched a tabletop game show starring Wil Wheaton that no one could have imagined would become as popular as it did. Created by Wheaton and Felicia Day, Tabletop was broadcasted on Day’s Geek & Sundry YouTube channel and explored a wide variety of unique and interesting tabletop games. As host, Wheaton would explain game mechanics before diving into actual gameplay with celebrity guests and friends in the spirit of camaraderie and competition.

Tabletop was so popular that it, in 2013, it launched a yearly event that carries on to this day. Created by game designer Boyan Radakovich, International Tabletop Day encourages fans of tabletop gaming to gather and play.

The first International Tabletop Day was held on March 13, 2013, and the event was hosted by Wheaton and Day. It streamed live on the Geek & Sundry YouTube channel in two segments, and featured an extended wrap-up session that was later uploaded to the channel. Thousands of fans gathered to watch the stream of non-stop gameplay, which not only boosted the channel’s popularity, but game sales as well. They played games like Takenoko, Ticket to Ride and Star Trek Catan.

It sparked events in over 60 countries, and by the time the second annual event rolled around in 2014, that number grew to more than 80 countries. The event allowed players to set aside their troubles for a little while as they gathered with friends and family to indulge in a little competitive gameplay. Local brick and mortar game stores got involved, hosting events that drew in players to celebrate, forge new friendships and continue the effort to make tabletop gaming an unforgettable way for people from all walks of life to pass the time.

Unfortunately, the last major celebration of the event on Geek & Sundry took place in June 2019, as the following year saw unexpected challenges and setbacks on account of COVID-19’s social distancing guidelines. This year will see a similarly subdued official tabletop day event. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still celebrate the day with those close to you in the safety of your home.

Stay warm and stay dry! In fact, to be safe, just stay indoors and have a terrific tabletop gaming Tuesday! :game_die::grinning::+1:

Ek weier! I don’t run :stuck_out_tongue: I can sprint for 10 secs at a time only

That’s fine. Just do that then.

But do it a little slower than at sprinting speed, and maybe try doing it 6 times per minute, for 5 minutes at a time. :grinning:

Forgot to mention yesterday that June is Pride Month.

Google dropping all the flags when searching for the term “pride month” at the moment:

2021-06-02 (2)

Which led me to wondering about the meaning of some that I don’t recognize (specifically the one with the circle on the yellow background.)
So, if you’re curious like me, and don’t mind an odd “This Month Is…” post in your Today Is… topic…

Pride Month is also the reason that DontNod are giving away copies of Tell Me Why all through the month.

Me neither, until I tried, started with 700m on my first run(I lie, the first proper run was a 5km obstacle course with work, but that was more walking than running haha), then gradually went up and up, untill I could run 5km without stopping. kept going and starting doing park runs, timed my runs and got as low as 29:30 for a 5km. Ended up doing a 10km Obstacle course due to that practice.
But yeah, I stopped. I restarted and got back to that 29:30 about 2 years ago. Then stopped again lol. FML.
