The dice tower episode 428.

Question Palusa. Oh, Welcome to the Dice Tower, a podcast about board games and card games, and especially the people who play them.

On today's show, Tom and I look back at the spiel fair at Essen.

And then, the only way we're going to make progress on the mailbag

is to face it head on with an all-question show. I'm Eric Sommerer and here's your

host The Holmes to my Watson. Tom Vassal. Now are you saying this because there were no

less than three games released at Essen that had to do with this theme?

Perhaps I've also been reading a book about pop culture and geek culture and I just finished a whole chapter about Sherlock Holmes so it's really on the brain

I thought you were reading stuff from

Piso the Pathfinder books that was actually some time ago these were books I Pizo, The Pathfinder Books.

That was actually some time ago.

These were books I completed a while ago.

If you missed the announcement, Pizo is doing their Pathfinder Tales in audio books,

and I had the pleasure of recording a couple of those and they'll be out soon.

So now you know more about the lore of that universe.

I did and then the next time I played the Pathfinder Adventure card game I actually knew who the various

you know deities and the the various faiths and geography and it was a whole bunch of details that I suddenly understood a lot better

when I played the Pathfinder Adventure Card game.

Well anyhow folks, my name's Tom Vassal.
