  4. 3 Amazing Veterans In The Geek & Sundry Community. Meet Timothy Regan. He’s a miniature wargamer (collecting and playing Warmachine), a video gamer (and a particular fan of Fallout and XCOM), and a tabletop gamer who has been playing D&D since he was nine years old.

But the transition to civilian life is a bit more difficult.
