when steamtroll isn't writing for ArsGeek, he's probably working at his day job under his secret identity or at home reveling in whatever geekness he can stir up. His interests are many and varied, but he tends to focus on tabletop RPGs, and reading or watching just about anything that has to do with pirates, sci-fi/fantasy or mythologies. steamtroll owns about 3 pounds of dice, the largest one being nearly as large as his fist.
