WBC has excellent facilities to host seminars in the Hopewell Room at the Lancaster Host Resort. In 2013, we will offer several seminars in this room and other locations. We appreciate your support in attending seminars during breaks in your gaming. See the list of seminars in chronological format. If you would like to run a seminar, submit a request.

	WBC Legion Tu17 • Hopewell • Ken Whitesell Open only to those members who have attended every Avaloncon and WBC.
	Superstar Baseball Draft Tu19 • Hopewell • Bill Beckman See event preview.
	How to Win at Being Human Tu20 • Hopewell • Stephanie Welch An introductory overview of the other three topics. The idea is, we have been playing by the wrong rules. The right ones are out there, but there is in fact SO MUCH information that they get lost in the competing arguments. This is the first time, I believe, where someone has put together a Grand Unified Theory (based in evolution, reason, and science) about why our efforts so far have failed and where it is we should actually be getting all the answers about how to achieve health and happiness.
	Ace of Aces FF Circus 1/4 Tu21 • Hopewell • Doug Porterfield See event preview.
	Paydirt AFC Draft We13 • Hopewell • Harry Flawd See event preview.
	Gaming & Ethics We16 • Hopewell • Joel Tamburo The discussion continues. How do the ethical standards we use in our everyday lives project into our gaming persona? For example, how do our everyday ethics affect the “stab” in games like Diplomacy? Is it okay to lie while playing a game? Should we separate our gaming selves from our selves in the outside world?
	Give Me Butter or Give Me Death We19 • Hopewell • Stephanie Welch Most of the things we take for granted as common knowledge about nutrition and weight loss are the very things that are impeding our success. Heart-healthy low-fat whole-grain diets?  Saturated fat clogs arteries? Counting calories and eating less to lose weight? Lowering your cholesterol? Salt gives you high blood pressure?  Be prepared to have all these concepts turned upside down.
	Ace of Aces FF Circus 2/4 We22 • Hopewell • Doug Porterfield See event preview.
	Ace of Aces FF Circus 3/4 Th12 • Hopewell • Doug Porterfield See event preview.
	Annual Game Design Seminar Th16 (2 hrs) • Hopewell • Lew Pulsipher Game design doesn’t “just happen”. Dr. Pulsipher (designer of Britannia and other games) teaches game design at the university level.
	Shoes: The Silent Killer Th19 • Hopewell • Stephanie Welch Most of the things we take for granted as common knowledge about nutrition and weight loss are the very things that are impeding our success. Heart-healthy low-fat whole-grain diets?  Saturated fat clogs arteries? Counting calories and eating less to lose weight? Lowering your cholesterol? Salt gives you high blood pressure? Be prepared to have all these concepts turned upside down.
	Pro Golf Th23 • Hopewell • Rob Drozd See event preview.
	Paydirt NFC Draft Fr13 • Hopewell • Harry Flawd See event preview.
	Avalon Hill Reunion Fr16 (2 hrs) • Hopewell • Don Greenwood For many of us, the “hobby” began with the products of one company. This year, WBC occurs during the 15th anniversay of the sale of The Avalon Hill Game Company to Hasbro which ended the Avaloncon era—and gave birth to WBC. The passing of two of our colleagues in the past year has brought many of those employees back again in 2013 to relive the old days one more time. Join us in Hopewell on Friday afternoon as the largest gathering of AH designers ever assembled retell old tales. Pose the questions you always wanted to know while we still can—hopefully—remember the answers. Those confirming their intent to be on hand include Bruce Milligan, Ben Knight, Mark Herman, Charlie Kibler, Mick Uhl, Mark Simonitch, Robert Waters, Bob McNamara, Jack Greene, Joe Balkowski, Kurt Miller and some Greenwood guy who claims to have worked there.
	Wits & Wagers Game Show 1/2 Fr18 (2hrs) • Hopewell • Scott Buckwalter Take a break for this 90-minute trivia event you can win without knowing any trivia. Seven teams of from 4-10 players compete to win prizes. Bring your own team or form one when you get there.
	Ace of Aces FF Circus 4/4 Fr20 • Hopewell • Doug Porterfield See event preview.
	Charles S. Roberts Awards Presentation Fr21 • Hopewell • Allan Rothberg The Charles S. Roberts Awards are presented annually for excellence in the historical wargaming hobby. Allan Rothberg, one of the executive directors for the award committee, will announce the 2012 winners.
	B17 After Action Debriefing F22 • Hopewell • Dave Terry Get a glimpse of the madness or camaraderie (take your pick) that is the WBC B17 phenomenon. 21 years and still growing, this meeting of vicarious airmen rehashes the results of the missions just flown and awards prizes from an assortment of self-supplied theme goodies.

	Planning for Your Business—Before You Begin Sa17 • Hopewell • Steve Rawlings Learn how to get started on your own Game Publishing business.
	Life Beyond Board Games Sa18 • Hopewell • Stephanie Welch Not only is our physical health getting worse, but we are extremely burdened with mental health issues of overwhelming stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and a culture constantly in danger from deviancy and crime. But neuroscience has provided incredibly valuable information as to how the brain works:  things like understanding the pre-frontal cortex and basal ganglia and the reticular activating system, as well as how emotional/social pain is experienced in the brain, give us clues into how to both take advantage of things our brains are good at, and to know the pitfalls we can run into when we fail to understand them.  This puts into perspective how and why we learn habits, both in behaviors and movements, and how we can retrain them, and leads to many specific strategies to improving feelings of self-worth and productivity.
