“I have been listening to this podcast since it's inception. I have always found it informative and entertaining.However Tom, and most recent co-host, Eric have hit a stride that's hard to beat for anyone interested in board and card games.
This show has had three stages of development through three different co-hosts. In it's youth, Tom and Joe were finding there way. Different theme songs and segments came and went, sound quality was pretty poor, and reviews were given in a hesitating, not so sure of myself kind of way.
With Sam, Tom was more practiced, like an adolescent, but still searching for a solid format. The Top Ten list has been the best and enduring feature of the show, and Tom wisely decided to keep this going. But again, segments were tried and thrown out. The reviews and top ten segments could be really, really, really rambling and convoluted. But the show, basically Tom, was improving all the time.
That brings us to today. The Dice Tower has reached adulthood. The show has a professional sound now. Eric is a top notch speaker. No Sam rambling and mispronunciations. Love Sam, but not a great speaker. Eric also discusses some quirky not often mentioned titles which is a refreshing change to Shadows over Camelot or Descent. Tom has progressed to where he could be a paid professional reviewer. Very sure of himself, strong opinions, well spoken and engaging. He also stirs it up with Eric just enough to be funny, but not a bully. The contributors have improved, the segments are more funny. Every aspect of the show is just better.
Simply put, you're missing out on great gaming discussion if you miss this podcast”
