    This is a physical CD. This physical CD comes in a lovely six panel wallet and glossy finish. (There is no cellophane wrap however, in the hopes of adding a little less to the landfills.)

    Mary Crowell has returned to Mystic Fig studio to work with Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff. I Have Missed You at My Table is her fourth solo album and is a second jazzy love letter to gaming. Consider it the heir to Crowell's 2012 release, Acolytes of the Machine & Other Gaming Stories.

The dice-splainer song, because surely everyone loves a lecture at the gaming table.

lyrics

Why Did You Roll Your Dice Like That?
(Copyright 2019 by Mary C Crowell)

Why did you roll your dice like that?
Why did you roll your eyes like that?
Everyone knows that’s how you get a one.
I’m just explaining how to have more fun.
It’s all in the wrist.

You just give it a twist.
Well, ignore that number I rolled.
I was not warmed up,
And the die hit a cup.
That rolling your eyes thing is getting old.

Why did you roll your dice like that?
Why did you roll your eyes like that?
Everyone knows that’s how you get a one.
Let the DiceMaster show you how it’s done.

You just pucker your lips
And you blow on the pips
Yeah, that only works on the cubes.
Icosahedrons are
The bigger challenge by far
And I don’t share that secret with
Newbs.

So, why did you roll your eyes like that?
And how did you roll a twenty that’s ‘Nat’?
Everyone knows that just uses up luck
And that’s my face that you hit when you
gave it a chuck.

Chorus Variant Three and ending:
Why did you roll your dice like that?
Why did you roll your eyes like that?
Everyone knows that’s how you get a one.
I’m just explaining
I’m just explaining
I’m just explaining how to have more fun.
