Tom, you're just a generally honest nice guy. Who wouldn't throw money at you 😅. I have gotten into board gaming 3 years ago and the Dice Tower has been a regular watch for me. I am not saying its, perfect, nothing in this world is, but you guys have made great improvements to the show and you do things your way. Hats of to that. All I know is, if the Dice Tower was suddenly gone, there would be a great void that no one could fill and I would feel sad. Its been part of my life and I watch a few videos weekly.

Wish you all the best in the KS.

I like the 4 squares on the major hits. You 4 all have such a diverse perspective/opinion

[rickdey]

Tom, from my perspective there is more content but less consistency. My favorite shows are Look Back and the Week in Review. While these shows come out the timing is sporadic. I want to know what you all think of games. That is your wheelhouse. I love all your content. I just recommend more consistency in the release times of your content.

I think tom just sent a message to melody not to add the "grandfather" tag line anytime soon. Lol

Minor correction... Trivial Pursuit was released in 1981, not 1982. I still remember my grandmother buying it for me when it was new and saying how she heard that, "It's the new Monopoly!" heh

[CosmicTavern]

South Park and the Dice Tower. Now that's an interesting combo!

[wapakguy]

I miss testing tuesday's. Live unfiltered reactions to new games was great content IMO

[benjaminspears]

Would love to see Dice Tower Dive back....even if it’s just one every couple of months!

[JoseMedia]

More Timm please! Really like to see this series come.

I like Roy, don't get me wrong, but he needs to step up. So many wrong information on the reviews that eh copies and paste. General info, wrong images, sometimes music cuts outta nowhere. It doesn't hurt to double check some stuff. Besides that, this channel is amazing and I'm glad that you're always trying to improve!

"Pronouncing things correctly" - best 2021 stretchgoal from Tom Vasel :D

[djmurp]

If you can, my suggestion would be try to collaborate with other content creators or celebrities to bring in new viewers, kind of like what Geek and Sundry did with Will Wheaton. The dice tower does well within the gaming community, I would strategize ways to go beyond that. That way it doesn’t always feel like inside baseball and games will seem much more accessible, with the DT being a kind of one stop shop for board game culture writ broadly. But of course balance is key.

Just make sure to fix EU shipping of rewards for 2021. EU rewards were supposed to ship from within EU last time, yet every backer is getting hit with huge tax and VAT fees. If Dice Tower is not a store and backers also back for content, then they should not pay that much extra for rewards.

[Gtomer]

LOL. I don't think you can really call it a one page rules with these really small fonts on both sides.
Any other games would have spread the same amount of words over 16 pages or even more with some pictures and examples.

[Danny_DaKid]

OMG PLEASE GET TREY PARKER. That would be so awesome.

[TheNerdShelves]

Congratulations Tom... Or should I say "Father-in-law" 😉... Oh wait, you're not my father-in-law 😆

[scottarmstrong]

Need a stretch goal for looking into a solution for mounting the mic on your tie without getting the rubbing noises all the time. Not trying to be rude, I think it would be fun.

[jartree]

Just my opinion, but I personally would prefer that Four Squares always be Tom, Zee, Mike, and Roy. Something I really liked about Miami Dice is that I always knew when I clicked that it would be Tom and Sam reviewing together, and the consistency of the format helped me kind of interpret their different tastes and kept me more entertained since I was familiar with their dynamic. I didn't mind at all by the way, when Zee started joining them for Miami Dice. But removing Tom or Sam, would make it not Miami Dice anymore. THAT BEING SAID I DO like it when you bring other people in for the group reviews! Maybe just call it something else, even if its just a sub-title like Four Squares with Rodney Smith. Just my opinion. Love you Dice Tower.
