Had to shout out for the OG dice there with your rage screen! Folks might think they must have been though a lot, but somehow they always seemed to come out of the box looking like that. Your theme is so spot on, gaming and music are just tightly linked in my head as well.
Thanks for recognizing! Those came with my Holmes blue box I got for Christmas '79. The numbers are tough to read but a lot of great nostalgia associated with them.
This is awesome -- I knew about Tom Morello and Chris Funk (also a game designer! Check out Illimat, which is an excellent tabletop game), but Rhett Miller? That's awesome. Love me some Old 97's.
Also, one of my favorite stories: one time I got to interview Tom Morello, and I asked him what it was like to be in the E-Street Band (which, at the time, he was touring with). His answer was the most Tom Morello thing ever: "Bruce Springsteen is the only boss worth listening to."
I was really amused last year at GaryCon. A lot of people were freaking out that Tom Morello was there. He's an inspiring musician and activist in what was an amazing band, but at the end of the day he just wants to hang out and roll dice like everyone else. To me, that's probably the coolest part.
