Hello, this is Tom Vassil welcoming you to episode 13 of the Dice Tower.

In episode 13, we started hitting our stride to some degree.

At this point, we realized that we couldn't just do questions and answers and then a top 10.

Even though from this point onwards our top 10 started getting longer and longer and bigger

and that lasted for quite a long time with a huge top 10 because it

almost became 20 little reviews of games. But we also realized that we had to have

something else so it's constantly delving and looking for different ideas.

And in this episode, we introduced a couple of segments,

but the one I thought was really interesting

was the segment where we talked about player categories. what kind of players that we play with.

And this went on for a while and was actually quite popular to the point where I'm not even sure why we cut it from the show.

I think possibly it happened mostly because we were running out of player types,

although maybe we could repeat them or do variations upon them because you meet so many different styles of players.

But it was an interesting thing, it was fun and I like doing it a lot.

So with that being said, I'll let you get into episode 13 and I have some more comments than at the end of the show.

Well, welcome to the Dice Tower. This is Tom Vassal.
