Here is Mr. Wheaton's post on Facebook, which I shared and then wrote the below:
I've never played a table-top role playing game (not as a player and definitely not as a DM).
I've been kind of... hovering around the scene for years now, what with playing computer games like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, Planescape: Torment, Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption/Bloodlines, Shadowrun, etc., watching Wil Wheaton DM a full game of Titansgrave on Geek & Sundry[1], and watching videos like Noah "Spoony" Antwiler's Counter Monkey series, and reading stuff like "Old Man Henderson," and other such things, all of which are tangential to actually sitting down and playing a table-top role playing game.
I'm sort of the same way about comic books, actually. I've read and watched and played an imperial shit-ton of stuff related to comic books, but the number of actual comic books I've read in my life is comparatively tiny (mainly just Batman Knightfall, Batman Cataclysm/Aftershock/etc., Watchmen, The Walking Dead, and whatever random musty old-ass comics my brother had in a dank old cardboard box when I was a kid). (EDIT) Well, and web comics. I guess those count, too. I've read an assload of those. (/EDIT)
[1] - Though I haven't watched any of Wheaton's Table Top, oddly enough (or anything beyond the first couple bits of Critical Role).
