I've worked quite a bit on Paper Route this week. The game is quite fun after I changed the format. I'm really excited for it!
I've started working on the art, layout, and rules. I've had quite a bit of help from my Twitter followers, but I could always use more help!
Gamewright asked me to do a small interview for their blog. It went live today. Meet the Inventor: Chevee Dodd The guys at Perpetual Geek Machine got to play Scallywags and have some really nice things to say about it. You can listen to the podcast here: perpetualgeekmachine.net Josh Edwards […]

I was stationed in Hawai'i in the latter years of the 90s and into the 00s. During that time I was playing D&D almost nightly and I wanted to design a dice game that could be played quickly at the table that would simulate in-game gambling. Apparently, I did that. I found this game on a site I used to maintain.
