The Preview Tournament went off without a hitch! I was thrilled to see players enjoying my game! They even discussed the meta! That was totally awesome. Congratulations to Corey Young for winning the first ever Scallywags tournament and taking home a copy of the prize! Check back later this week […]
I am thrilled again to announce that Scallywags has won another award! This time it is the Tillywig Best Family Fun award! Gamewright has really gone above and beyond for me and I simply can’t thank them enough!

A Twitter friend, @HerrohGrant, has published a sort of “making of” story about Scallywags on his design blog, Hyperbole Games. The story starts at the very beginning of my design “career,” so beware, it is a bit lengthy! The Story of Scallywags | Hyperbole Games

I've not attended to the site in a while.
I've also not attended to game design much lately.
There have been some adventures recently and some new video games to blame for my absence, but life has seemed to return to normal and I can get back to work. One of the adventures I had during my time "off" was shared by thousands on the website Reddit.com.
