Welcome to Dice Tower Musings, an audio blog about board games from the mind of Tom Vassal.

Tom is the husband of the beautiful Laura Vassal, a father of five girls, a missionary pastor in South Korea, and a middle school

math teacher.

Tom is also a passionate gamer and manages to infuse gaming into many aspects of his life.

Join us now for some of his, and his family and friends, thoughts on games.

Hi this is Tom Bassle and this is the initial podcast, which is essentially an audio blog of just basically what I'm feeling.

Now this is kind of an experiment but it takes me a while to type and write things

and I've gotten better at putting audio things together so I thought why not try an audio blog

now perhaps there's only a few people who'd be interested but what I thought the purpose of this

blog might be is a sense for you to kind of get to know my game groups and it's kind of a

companion piece to our regular podcast the Dice Tower and you'll hear people in the

gaming groups and even in this podcast you'll hear that they're not real keen on talking but they might open up

and it kind of shows a progression of my thoughts towards games and maybe just a little bit

more open and honest as a week goes by and we'll have to see but here we go I can't promise any kind of

continuity in the episode but I'll give you a little bit of music between each

broken part throughout the day so let's get started into my thoughts from this

past week. Okay, well it's currently April 2nd 2008 and I am on a plane flying home from Malaysia back to Seoul and just a little bit of a couple

of thoughts on basically what did I think about gaming I had a great time in Gail was

busy one around would play to my kids a lot but there was some gaming and it was interesting

just to kind of see what the state of gaming is in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

Toys Aras, I went to a toy store called Toy Box and I went to several department stores and looked at the

board games there.
