| 0:04.2 | Legacy Schmegacy. Welcome to At the Table with the Dice Tower, a podcast about games and the people who play them. |
| 0:30.6 | On today's show, we're looking at the many ways players make legacy games, non-legacy games. |
| 0:36.6 | I can replace all of these stickers with post-it notes, but it makes the cards really hard to shuffle. |
| 0:41.6 | Plus, we dive into a new tale of horror and rustle up a herd of roses, thorns, and hula hoops. |
| 0:47.4 | I'm Eric Summer. |
| 0:48.5 | I'm Julie Ahern. |
| 0:50.2 | And I'm Tom Smigadun Vassel. |
| 1:11.7 | That's coming to Brot, or it's actually on Broadway now. I really want to go see it. Is it on Broadway or off Broadway? It was nominated for a Tony, which I think means it has to be on Broadway, right? I think it has to be on Broadway. Yeah, I think it's a darn good show. Although, in Broadway news, Weird Al just announced he's doing a jukebox musical. |
| 1:14.9 | And so I'm already in line for tickets. |
| 1:15.5 | That's amazing. |

Maybe it's different. Who knows? Hey, it is May. May flowers are here. Maycember. May what? Maycember. It's when everything is May. May flowers are here. May sember. May what? Maycember.

| 2:01.9 | I had one graduate from college. |
| 2:02.8 | You're grizzled at this point. |
| 2:04.2 | I went graduate for college, and now she's back of my house, Eric. I don't know what's happening. They just keep returning. It's not it. She's only there for a month or so.
