I have struggled to keep up with writing for the site. Writing quality content weekly about my big designs is difficult. I've decided to start writing weekly[ish] updates where I can talk about the various little projects I have been working on.
Weekly[ish] Update – Sept 6, 2012
I took a month of from testing Dead End and when I came back, it was not the game I remembered. I tested it at GenCon with a publisher and it wasn't exactly a hit. Find out what went wrong and what went right.
Project: Dead End part 11 – Starting Over-ish
GenCon has come and gone yet again. I had some expectations. I had very different adventures. I had the time of my life.
GenCon 2012 – My Adventures
Another successful test of Hexploration this week. The underlying system is shaping up nicely. I don't really think this is the end for this project however.
Hexploration – Close to the Finish
I skipped a week discussing this game for a very simple reason: it sucked. Last weeks playtest session was a disaster. It has been difficult to write about, but this weeks session got me back on course. I'm actually excited to share this!
Hexploration – Rebuilding from Catastrophe
I've started a new design project. This time, something with a little more complexity, and an actual board. It is a hex-based, tile-laying, area-control, economic game. Crazy, huh?

Two New Scallywags reviews
I’m working on revamping the site a bit. I consider both Project: Dead End and Princess Dice complete enough that I’m not going to drop them from the site any time soon. I’ve given them their own pages now which you can use to find all the articles I’ve written […]
