A stranger's hot take on dice towers changed how I run game night
Last month at a con in Pittsburgh, some guy watched me set up my dice tower and said "you know that thing slows the game down by like 20 minutes over a night, right?" I laughed it off, but then I timed it. Sure enough, my group rolls faster when we just chuck dice on the table. We've played 2 extra rounds of Dune Imperium every session since I packed the tower away. Anyone else ditch their fancy accessories after actually counting the time?

The "slows the game down by like 20 minutes" thing is real and it shows up everywhere once you start counting. I timed myself unlocking my phone at red lights and it added up to almost an hour a week, so now the phone stays in my pocket in the car. Same deal with my group's fancy deck boxes and damage counters, we ditched half of it and games just move. We spend so much time on the stuff around the hobby that we forget the hobby is the actual playing part.
