Subject: Chevee's News - A New Design and Some Updates

Hey everyone!
Just a few quick updates this month. I meant to get a few of these things out over the past weeks, but I don't like flooding everyone's inbox.

Origins Game Fair -
I have registered to run the first public event for Scallywags at Origins Game Fair. I will be there for one day only, Saturday, June 2. The fun kicks off at 2pm with an introductory learning tournament. I registered the event for a maximum of 16 players, but if for some odd reason tickets sell out, I'll see what I can do to let extras in. Top prizes are a signed copy of the game! I hope to see everyone there. I'm excited to share this game with the public at large!

A New Design -
If you haven't been following along this week, it's been a bit of a whirlwind for me. I had joked with a few fellow game-lovers on Twitter about the need for a girly dice game. Well, my brain wouldn't let it rest and in a few short hours, Princess Fairy Rainbow Unicorn Dice was born. It has been rapidly accepted and commented on. I've been receiving some great emails from everyone and I sure do appreciate the input! I've even got a few playtest groups grinding out the rules with me! This truly has been a great experience and I hope I can keep the momentum up to see this one through.

Scallywags Update -
Not much has happened in the past month with regards to Scallywags. The publisher had a great show at Toy Fair and told me that the game was very well received. Production was held up a bit with the molding of some awesome plastic coins, and the current release is slated for sometime in May.

Project Dead End -
The open game design project is still going strong. I've received some great feedback on various aspects over the past month. There were some serious ups and downs as the game went through a few different overhauls and was all but broken at one point. I can proudly say that out of all this hard work, a pretty solid design has emerged. The underlying game is fun and engaging and we have reached a point where I am just tweaking things and trying new cool cards. I hope to have up a printable test version of the game later this week.

Website Update -
http://www.cheveedodd.com
I have updated the website again. I hadn't touched the game pages since the last re-design and they were in desperate need of updating. I will be working on this part of the site throughout the week so it'd be great if you'd check things out to make sure I haven't messed anything up! Don't forget to click those like buttons and share things on your Facebook and Twitter.

Thanks for reading!
