Every day, I get emails, messages on Twitter, and Ravens from people who have played a game because we played it on Tabletop. The stories and pictures are super awesome, and I want to share them with the world.
So I set up a Tumblr called As Seen On Tabletop for viewers to share your stories and pictures from your game nights, game days, and game shops.
You can either use the SUBMIT function there, or you can send email to tabletop (at symbol) wil wheaton (dot goes here) net.

Just once I want to get a message carried by Raven. And not a stabby Baltimore Raven, mind you, but a creepy Poe Raven.
So many coins in your karma bank for this and the best part is you’re probably having a blast doing it! Tomorrow is my birthday – I’m playing games.
I found out about Ticket to Ride from a local games store. Another customer who was there said, “Oh! I love that game! And it’s Wil Wheaton approved!!”
So I’ll take a picture of my family playing it and send it to you.
Have you played the card game Labyrinth? My family loves that one, too.
Just got into the ‘Tabletop’ deal after having played classic D&D some years ago; thanks very much for introducing me! (Which was pretty much through getting into Big Bang Theory late and seeing this rivalry you have with Sheldon, which just made me want to see why) – LOVING the look of ‘Fiasco’, just watching your set-up vid now.
Definitely a new fan.
Thought you would enjoy this cool graphic/map of the solar system. It measures in distance and time in warp speed. It marks major milestones of the space race. Dogs are surprisingly well-traveled.

That is a great Idea. I bought smallworld and settlers of catan because of your series. They are really fun to play.
I am not much into the social media technologies, but I thought you would like to know that one of the WBC (World Boardgaming Championships) teams is calling themselves “The Wesley Crushers.” Not sure if there is any connection. Rather funny.

That's so incredibly cool! I just added it to my Tumblr. Thanks for the link!
Taking this to the next level would be for game stores to loop an episode on a little screen near a game for sale. Or to loop several episodes on a large screen in their store for games they sell.
Seeing people having fun playing and seeing the mechanics would have to help sell the games.
I am not addressing copyright or licensing issues of course … that stuff is for the bean counters.
I have heard from a bunch of gamers and shop owners that they're doing exactly this, and I think it's wonderful.
