Open your 2015 calendars, everybody, because Geek & Sundry has announced the date for the third International TableTop Day. It’s happening on Saturday, April 11, and it’s never too early to start planning.
What is International TableTop Day you ask? Simply put, it’s a day to celebrate games and was created thanks to Wil Wheaton’s series TableTop. You may appreciate games all the time, but it’s nice to have a special day set aside for the love of tabletop gaming. Geek & Sundry has celebrated the past two years by live-streaming gameplay on YouTube and getting game retailers and fans involved in the event. International TableTop Day events were held in over 80 countries in 2014, and people gathered to play games at libraries, universities, clubs, and all kinds of venues. Yes, it’s pretty darn neat.
Here’s a recap of the 2014 festivities:
So now that you know the date for International TableTop Day date in 2015, you can begin thinking about what games you want to play and/or start looking at places that might be willing to host an event.

My hope is that this year it focuses just on gaming instead of making an announcement and asking for money. That, along with my not being able to participate, kind of deflated the 2014 event for me.
