NICE
DICE
CUSTOMS



http://www.instagram.com/nicedicecustoms





My name is Stan and I am the owner of Nice Dice Customs. I have always customized my own games so when I couldn't get any creators to make custom dice to use with my Heroclix teams, I decided to make my own.


Fast forward 8 years and I'd say that things got out of hand. I'm coming up on 2000 designs in my gallery. If something there doesn't speak to you, reach out and commission a design.


The dice are laser engraved one at a time to ensure proper sizing and centering. Then they are hand painted with tiny brushes/syringes and a magnifying glass.


So pick up some custom dice and make your gaming a reflection of who you are.

BURNED
TO
LIFE



https://www.facebook.com/BurnedtoLife




It was a pleasure to burn... It may not be the greatest tagline, considering its origin is from Fahrenheit 451 and it's about burning books. But I decided to adopt it anyway, and give it a new meaning. After all, I'm bringing dead trees to life by giving them a new purpose through fire and art.


Wood is my canvas and watching it transform into a work of art, truly makes it a pleasure to burn. And because I also love all that nature has to offer and believe that it provides all we really need, I also make a variety of soaps, remedies, and other natural products. They won't give you superpowers, but they might make you happy!




MIGUEL
"R.E.G."
TORRES JR



https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJLFHMC3




Miguel "R.E.G." Torres Jr. (Author and founder of Genesee Street Book Co.) was born in Brooklyn NYC and moved to Allentown PA when he was about 7 years old, so even though he is technically a New Yorker, his heart and soul resides forever In good ol' Queen City. He likes to tell people that he was: "Made in America, Born through Puerto Rican blood, and raised by Dominican family and friends."


He began writing little stories when he was about 10 years old. He has never published anything before though, since he never even thought of that as a possible realistic endeavor. He was raised in the mean streets and married young (17 years old!) to raise his son (and later a daughter) so he worked hard in warehouses and steel mills and made some music on the side to pay the bills.


After his Mother passed away from a sudden battle with pancreatic cancer in 2018, he decided to stop waiting for a miracle and just do what he could NOW while he could still do it. He went after his dreams of becoming a published writer. So here he is.


This is his lifelong dream... which he fully funded on his own, and printed through his own book company. He is NOT college educated. He is (For better or worse) fully self taught. It took him YEARS to study the art of writing! He'd read MANY books and received mentorship from other local writers in the Lehigh Valley and on the Tapastic Website. His book took SIX years (on and off) to edit... That's a lot of editing for one dummy. But he did it. It's done. No more editing (for now), thank heavens. Miguel worked very hard on this book, but he wasn't alone. His illustrator Thabang "T-botastic" Martins helped him a lot along the way. T-botastic resides in Great Britain and South Africa (they met through tapastic) T's whimsical Anime inspired art style really gave Miguel the last boost in confidence that he needed to finally finish the book as he had always dreamed it to be. T is Miguel's rock. (seriously T-Botastic rules, check out his masterpiece "Kill The Spice" on Tapastic, it's beeyootiful.)


If you took some of your time to read this, we thank you! Miguel hopes this little bio inspires you to check out his book which he hopes is only the beginning of a series that will truly represent the city of Allentown PA as well as his Hispanic and American heritage.


Oh, one more thing: EACH BOOK from the Genesee Street Book company is "MANGO APPROVED." And our little mascot buddy never lies. He knows what's up. See you at the con!!!
