Wow.

On a new At The Table with The Dice Tower, Tom, Julie, and I discuss how to plan for what happens to our collections after we're gone. Plus, Horror, Questions, Roses, Thorns, and Hoops.

Yes! That specifically was the part they didn’t believe.

I had completely forgotten that filmstrips existed. I tried to explain them to my kids, and they thought I was pulling their leg. Maybe they never existed after all.

I do appreciate when an author recognizes that elements of their work don’t, well, work in audio. I just got a pronunciation guide for an upcoming title with some text swaps, and the stated goal of “not giving Eric an aneurysm”. Hey, thanks!

And there’s the break where somebody hit the button early, so you get 30 seconds of local news promo preserved forever.

Whaaa?!?

Next, I’m going to tell them about trying to tape a movie off TV but not wanting the commercial breaks, so somebody having to hover over that pause button but always missing it by a couple seconds.

Picture of 13 cards for I Made You A Mixtape. Titles are: Re: Your Brains, Fish Heads, I Am Cow, Eat It, Taco Bell Canon, Tip-Toe Thru’ The Tulips With Me, Morris The Moose, Carrot Juice Is Murder, Dare To Be Stupid, The Villain Who Wears No Pants, Opening Band, Poisoning Pigeons In The Park, The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota.

I have completed filling out my Novelty mini-expansion for I Made You A Mixtape. Now, to teach my kids what cassette tapes are.

It’s a good time. I’d recommend trying it out on BGA, but the production is pretty solid.

YouTube video by The Dice Tower The 18th Annual Dice Tower Awards

My opening number for this year’s Dice Tower Awards is at the very start of this video, but there’s lots of other great stuff in there. I think I had a conversation with a puppet at one point. It’s all a bit of a blur, frankly.

youtu.be/SkplYiT60aw?...

Cardhalla, 8:05am Sunday. Long live Cardhalla.

There are donation bins, filled with common cards of all stripes. I feel like some folks save up all year.

Thanks for tackling me in the middle of the street for a picture! Hope you’re having a great time!

Cardhalla, 8:12am Saturday.

Cardhalla, 10:14am Friday

Cardhalla, 7:50 am Thursday.

Thanks, Debbie!

YouTube video by The Dice Tower Monopoly is "Popular"

I’m pretty sure there will be video, based on what they did last year. youtu.be/hiEUuGnd2b4?...

Where will I be today at Gen Con 2025?
Playing Critter Kitchen at 11am in Booth 2927 (come by!)
Playing Twinkle Twinkle at 3pm in Booth 331 (come by!)
And at 7pm in the 500 ballroom, I kick off the Dice Tower Awards singing in a tux. (come by!)

If you’re headed to Gen Con, or just want to hear about the games that will be there, may I interest you in an episode of At The Table with The Dice Tower? We talk about a lot of games! www.dicetower.com/podcast/dice...
