Troy talks with the crazy people running and playing in The Longest Day, a 24-hour-long Flames of War tournament. He also talks with Strategicon Events Chairman, the HMGS-PSW Convention chair about an upcoming convention, and with several independent game designers from the Pacific Southwest.

In the game against Igor for top place in round 8, Malcolm’s NDNG dice deserted him on the desert table. Only rolling average when he needed the 5s and 6s.

Troy is a retired journalist, retired photographer, and somewhat retired journalism adjunct professor. He’s now in charge of chasing typos on NoDiceNoGlory.com. When he’s not gaming, he sits in smoggy Los Angeles grumping about the 2.5 particulate matter and eating pizza. In between, he finds time to write and publish Medieval Urban Fantasy novels.
