Next, we have the "Biggest Plot Twist Ever!" Award, going to inflatabledalek for:

Worf: "Sir, commander Riker is not Mr. Potato Head."
Many thanks to everyone who participated and congrats to our winners!
I am pleased to announce that our puzzle has been solved.
Lords of Waterdeep is correct!
For those of you who don't know, Lords of Waterdeep is a resources management board game, While you might be expecting that it's one of the board games that typically takes 3-4 hours to play, it's more like 1-2.
It's a fun game and if you know somebody who has it, I recommend giving it a try.
I'll explain the clues:
All of the thread titles are Intriguing.
Ambush!
Free Drinks!
Inevitable Betrayal
Research Agreement
Honorable Example
Crime Wave
Manipulate
Call in a Favor
Call for Adventurers
Mandatory Quest
Open Lord
Recall Agent
The Thread Titles are all the titles of Intrigue Cards from the game.
Other clues:
Wil Wheaton is connected to this pattern and it has nothing to do with Mass Effect or The Big Bang Theory.
The Wil Wheaton connection also connects Patrick Rothfuss and Felicia Day to this.
Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day & Patrick Rothfuss played this game on an episode of the Geek n' Sundry show, Tabletop.
The mystery is related to Dungeons & Dragons (but not to a movie)
The game is based on Dungeons & Dragons.
Apologies if the fill in the blanks were confusing. I formatted them to make more sense than they turned out looking in the posts.
Congratulations to dstyer!
And now a new contest! (and the title is not part of some puzzle)
Enjoy!
