That's right, Mike and Dan have decided to go their own separate ways. To two different conventions that is. Mike is going to ReaperCon and Dan is going to the NOVA Open.

Okay, you got us. This episode should have been posted before going to either convention but Mike's time management skills and hyper focus on finishing projects for the MSP Open let this one slip by the wayside. We figured we might as well put it out even if it's a bit dated.

We will have the post-convention wrap up shortly after this one airs.

Mike promises to be a better, braver, more on time episode producer.

After some wonderful feedback we've decided that we are going to be switching things up a bit. Due to the reception of the Jack the Ripper episode we decided to spend more time exploring different genres in the minature painting world.
