Comic Transcripts

[[A hip, young individual talks with a much older woman, who seems to be working on some sort of knitting.]]
Youth: Have you seen my pen?
Senior: Here, I have a pen.
Youth: No. My SPECIAL pen. The pen I got in Amsterdam.

Senior: What’s special about this Amsterdam pen?
Youth: I got it in AMSTERDAM! From the HOTEL ROOM! When I went with JANINE!
Senior: No. I haven’t seen your HOTEL ROOM PEN.

Senior: This is why I don’t assign sentimental value to normal things. You spend all your time worrying about these OBJECTS that don’t matter.

Senior: Did I lose my PEN? Where’s my LUCKY SILVER DOLLAR? Oh NO, Grandpa’s rusty old RAZOR got cracked, now I feel AWFUL!
Senior: Just use things for their purpose. SIMPLER that way. You never have to rent a STORAGE UNIT because you can’t bear to part with a lifetime’s worth of PSYCHIC ANCHORS.

Youth: Whenever you wear that shawl, with that top, with that bonnet, I’M going to remember it as your ARGUMENT OUTFIT.
Youth: It’s going to remind me of this day, and this conversation, and the lovely time we’re sharing as friends.
Senior: YOU KEEP YOUR WITCHCRAFT AWAY FROM MY ACCESSORIES

Bolted! Fulfillment Update

May 25, 2026 by David Malki !

The vast majority of Bolted! game shipments are already shipped, but I understand if you don’t have yours yet, who cares. Here’s a progress report:

Total orders | 1052
Surveys completed | 992
Fully shipped | 946

Incomplete surveys

Obviously, if I don’t have your shipping address, I can’t ship your game! Let me know if you are missing a survey link. As new responses come in, they are rapidly added to the shipping queue.

Orders containing certain add-ons

Some of the add-ons proved more popular than expected — which is lovely! But it meant I had to reprint some stickers, make all the individual comic prints, request a shipment of books from offsite storage, etc, etc. So, any orders which contain an out-of-stock item are still waiting to ship.

All that missing stuff, though, is en route to me at this very second! So those orders will be going out pretty dang soon!

Custom items

I’ve already been in touch directly with the backers who ordered custom collages! Those will be created (and sent to you) after all the other shipments are complete. I’m excited for those, they’ll be fun! My pleasant dessert after the hearty meal of all the other orders.

Anything wrong?

I’m very grateful to the few folks who’ve contacted me to report some kind of issue with their shipment! Thankfully, problems are rare, but when they do occur, I would like to solve them. Please don’t hesitate to send me an email (replying to your shipping confirmation works great) if there’s anything about your order I can correct.

Reviews & photos

On BoardGameGeek are highly appreciated!

Unless you hate the game! You are entitled to that opinion, but please send that review directly to me instead of telling anyone else, so I can eat it and bury it in the yard and watch it grow into a twisted, gnarled tree. Or whatever!
