This is the first of the three podcasts including discussions with Peter Pellegrino of the US Navy war College as well as an interview with Mark Herman. We start with Peter Pellegrino who is participating in one of our 8 pre-convention meetings where we discuss people and topics that will enhance our visit to the convention. We also run a Discord server exclusive to the convention where participants can get to know each other, schedule games and trade ideas and plans.
We have produced for your enjoyment a three-part series of discussions on the August 2023 Event by San Diego Historical Games Convention at the US Naval War College Museum in Newport, Rhode Island. The event was three days of historical tours and gaming including tours of the Battleship USS Massachusetts, various sites that were part of the Battle of Rhode Island, Tours of the Museum at the Navy War College and Tours of the Navy War College itself. The tours were conducted by historians, game designers and professional wargamers to add to the color and background. Gaming at the Museum was incredible as we played, flanked by torpedoes, models, historical documents and displays of items of historical significance to the US Navy.
The convention was attended by a host of designers, professional gamers, hobby gamers and other interested parties. Of course, the museum is on base but our evenings and lunches were spent in the picturesque and historical town of Newport Rhode Island. We had such a great time; we are planning our return in 2024.
