Summary
Because I wanted to do a preview about Origins, here's another episode of the Dice Tower!
In this episode, I go at it alone for a preview of the Origins game convention. Of course, alone might be a bit of a stretch, since there are many audio clips, tips, and comments about the convention from others. If you are attending Origins, or thinking about going someday, this is the episode for you! We have the show available in .mp3 format, which you can download below by right clicking the link below, and selecting "save link as".
