Sign Up for Capla-Con!
Capla-Con is the annual two-game gaming convention sponsored by Bryan Caplan. Timing varies, but it’s always held one weekend during the summer. Location varies, but the last two have been held Carow Hall on the Fairfax campus of George Mason University.
All my friends (and their friends!) are welcome to attend. Activities include:
Tabletop games! I make a menu of my home-brewed role-playing games available, along with a vast array of more traditional games. Want to teach others a new game? Bring it? Want to learn new games? Opportunities abound.
Party games! Over 80 people normally attend, so if you want to run charades, Werewolf, or any other activity requiring a room full of participants, this is your big chance.
Karaoke! Carow has a big screen, and I’ve got a mighty speaker with four wireless mics.
Conversation! This is a great chance to make new friends and re-connect with old ones. Most guests are local, but quite a few make long journeys across the country and the world to attend.
Fandom! Many of your favorite bloggers, professors, think tankers, and more are likely to attend. I’ve never known any to refuse an autograph or a photo op.
Capla-Con is open house format, running noon to midnight both days. Drop in for as little or as long as you like. And as always at my events, kids of all ages are ultra-welcome. I’ve even written special role-playing games for young players, including the world’s only karaoke RPG, Space Opera: The Musical, a story about teenage musical rebels fighting alien domination in a dystopian future.
Abundant snacks are available over the whole duration, with catered dinner around 6 PM both days. No alcohol, though.
