12pm - 1pm Selinker & Max Make A Game On a Boat Where: The Labyrinth Calendar: JCCC4 Official Unofficial Events Created by: Bob Gorski Description: Mike Selinker (Lone Shark Games, Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, Betrayal at House on the Hill) and Max Temkin (Humans vs. Zombies, Cards Against Humanity) are going to design and prototype a new tabletop game on board the JCCC4. We'll work with sea monkeys on the design and organize daily playtests so everyone can be part of the design process, and we'll post the finished product online as a free download after the cruise.
1pm - 3pm Speed Meeting! Where: The Labyrinth Calendar: JCCC4 Official Unofficial Events Created by: Bob Gorski Description: Speed Meeting is an event designed to allow Sea Monkeys to meet a number of other Sea Monkeys by spending 5 minutes with them to get acquainted in a 1 on 1 session. The goal is to help those monkeys who are uncomfortable meeting new people to connect with some of their more gregarious counterparts. We hope that providing a structured environment with set time limits boundaries as well as conversational prompts will help make this less stressful. You can find more info and lots of discussion over on the forums: http://www.jonathancoulton. com/forums/index.php?p=/discussion/2031

The two books we will be discussing are: A Girl's Guide to Vampires (Dark Ones, #1) by Katie MacAlister and Undead and Unwed (Undead, #1) by MaryJanice Davidson.
