Comic Transcripts

[[Two people are discussing a soccer game.]]
Soccer Fan: Did you catch the soccer game? We CRUSHED them! We DESTROYED them!
Pacifist: I did not. The aggression makes me uncomfortable.

Pacifist: The whole POINT is to PENETRATE your enemy’s defenses and VIOLATE his sanctum!
Pacifist: You and your GANG DRIVE some OBJECT into a PROTECTED AREA – over STRENUOUS OBJECTIONS! – and are REWARDED for it!

[[The pacifist, fist clenched, looks towards the sky pensively.]]
Pacifist: Why can’t we RECONSIDER this? What if the ball is SACRED? You’re trying to RESCUE it from those who would DEFILE it…
Pacifist: The goal ISN’T the ENEMY’S HOLY OF HOLIES that you’re FORCING FOREIGN ITEMS into… it’s YOURS!
Pacifist: If you can only SECURE this TREASURE in your HOME TEMPLE – it’ll be safe from those BARBAIANS who would STEAL IT for their OWN!

Pacifist: I can get behind soccer as a RESCUE MISSION. I’d rather cheer for a team of SAVIORS than a MOB of DEPRAVED DEFILERS!
Soccer Fan: But why is there a stranger with gloves trying to STOP you from getting the SACRED ORB near your OWN temple?
Pacifist: Seriously!
Pacifist: HE is the MEANEST GUY in SOCCER

Bolted! Fulfillment Update

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!
