Tom Vasel is a longtime, highly respected member of the board game community, known as much for his knowledge and good nature as for his podcast, The Dice Tower.
Tragically, Tom and his wife Laura recently lost their son Jack at the age of only two months.
Members of major board gaming site BoardGameGeek have banded together to organize a huge benefit for Tom and his family. There are plenty of board gamers here at Irrational who appreciate Tom’s work, and we have contributed a signed copy of BioShock for PC. Every penny spent on the game will go to the Vasel family.
The game has been signed by a number of key Irrational personnel, including Ken Levine, Nate Wells, Shawn Robertson, Stephen Alexander, Mauricio Tejerina, and others.
If you’re interested in bidding, head over to this page of the auction thread, and reply to post 455 with your bid. You know it’s legit because it has been posted by our own Sarah Rosa.
And please, if you don’t bid on the copy of BioShock, browse the rest of the thread for other possible items of interest.
