Wil Wheaton here. I need to address the unacceptable number of rules screw ups on this season of Tabletop. (wilwheaton.net)

"I will take responsibility for it...right after I spend 5 paragraphs throwing the producer under the bus. And by the way , I won't even say what the rules error is."

Holy hell that was a bad apology. "Their fault. Their fault. Their fault. Their fault. Their fault. But I hired them, so I guess its my fault. Yes, I'm the face of the show so its my fault. Sorry."

I hope you don't apologize for important things that way. Since screwing up rules is not a big deal (especially since you can annotate the video) this terribad public shaming of your producer is way more offensive than the original non-issue.

And please don't refer to filming yourself playing board games as "grueling". EVER.

My understanding is they film an entire season over a couple of days, it's probably grueling in the same way a games convention can be grueling, except because there is other people's salaries hanging off it - you can't decide to take a break if you think you've played enough for the day.

They shoot 2 games per day. 6 hours tops to get one game all done including the intros/outros. That includes set up and breakdown of set, setting cameras, lights etc. The guests get the game beforehand, but rarely do they come knowing all the rules so this "producer" has about a half hour to teach them the game. It's a low budget production, they do not have the luxury of taking their time. Those were GRUELING days. It's NOT easy. Days on that show (at least for me) were about 15 hours/day at least. It's not an easy job.

It's not an easy job.

Very few jobs are. But anyone, or anyone who knows anyone, who's worked 12 hours shifts in either a physically demanding jobs or one that requires consistent and intense mental concentration are going to look askew at any statement saying a job where you are relatively comfortable, usually sitting down, and have time to talk, joke and laugh can be possibly be considered 'grueling'.

It seems to display a certain ignorance regarding the relative difficulty of many other jobs, which is slightly distasteful. It's kind of like going to an impoverished country and publicly coveting the starving people's ability to 'live a simple life'. Except much, much less worse. :)

I've almost certainly done more grueling jobs than you have, but strangely and I'm not upset about the adjective. Perhaps you should lighten up a little.

I agree. I've worked 16 hours average for several months (and a full year) at a time before. Frequent 18+ hour days or days where I worked two days or more straight through until I dropped.

Their days of production might be hard but count your blessings. It's rarely ever a good idea to publicly complain that your job is hard because there are always harder jobs.
