An interview with Craig and Paul of CaptainCon!

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Craig Caton and Paul Shoemaker discussing the CaptainCon gaming convention.

Hi all, for the last podcast of the year I was joined by my old friends and former Press Gang comrades-in-arms, Craig Caton and Paul Shoemaker to tell me all about CaptainCon ! Going into it's 12th year, CaptainCon has become a staple of the North East US's convention circuit. Taking place each February in Warwick, RI, CaptainCon is an event full of miniatures games, painting competitions, boardgames, and more (like "rum appreciation classes). Tickets and a few hotel rooms in their room block are still on sale, so check out this fantastic gaming convention now! As usual, this podcast was exclusive to Brush Wielders Union members for a few days before being released to general audiences. brushwieldersunion.com
