#1063; In which Rapport is revealed

Comic Transcripts

[[Two friends are walking and meet a third friend.]]
Friend 3: Hey, happy birthday!
Friend 1: Thanks!

Friend 2: Wait. It’s your birthday today?
Friend 1: It is! I’m forty-one!
Friend 2: It’s MY birthday today! I’M ALSO forty-one!
Friend 1: WHAAAAT

Friend 2: That’s crazy! We’ve known each other for months and never realized we had the same birthday!
Friend 2: Does this make us closer friends, now? Are we bonded in some sort of pact? Are we bound together on a deep level we can’t control, like shared witnesses to some terrible crime?

Friend 1: I suppose we are, if the crime is ‘our respective parents may have been having sex simultaneously’
Friend 2: Yeah, I think forty-one years ago that was a felony in most states

{{alt-text: I suppose it is also possible that we are twins??? which I’m pretty sure was also illegal at the time}}

Bolted! games have been shipping to backers over the last couple of weeks! The non-US orders are (mostly) done and some folks have been reporting receiving them already!

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
