#273; In which a Metaphorical Fence is straddled

Comic Transcripts

[[walking down a street, a grandfather and boy discuss Life and Religion]]

Grandfather: I’m gonna say it: ‘Spiritual but not religious’ is a cop-out. There are millions of wacky religious sects in the world. No matter WHAT you believe, I’m sure you could find SOMEONE who agrees with you.

Grandfather: But declaring a religion hems you into declaring BELIEFS. And it’s much easier to just leave that door open by claiming to be ‘spiritual’. The free pass that affords for your smug little know-it-all libido is just gravy.
Boy: I reserve the right to change my mind. The world is complex, and I’m only human. Claiming certainty just so you don’t call me names would be a sham.

Grandfather: I’m sure there’s a church for that, too.
Boy: There is, but the chicks are all downers.

In addition to buying things directly from me, the normal way, my game Bolted! is also now available on Amazon dot com.

On that famous website, you can also get the Creature-Crafting Magnets Set, which is made of the same artwork from the game, but is just a weird little trinket (not a playable game).

My kiddo made the elaborate version below to show off just how many magnets you get in the set (it’s 150 pieces in all — this isn’t even all of them).

Also now on Amazon is my set of Multi-Purpose Greeting Cards — a full dozen cards with envelopes in a fancy, unbranded, foil-stamped box!

Event alert!

I’ll also be showing off Bolted! at Greenwood Games, an event in Seattle this Saturday:

Greenwood Games is a free, all-ages community game event that invites players to spend the afternoon walking Greenwood Avenue from 65th to 80th, collecting clues, cracking puzzles, and discovering games made right here in Washington.

Think of it as Pride Hop, ArtWalk, and the Gumshoe all rolled into one, except the whole thing is built around games and puzzles.

Local game designers will be set up at different places along Greenwood Avenue in Phinney Ridge (near Ballard). My specific spot will be the “Holy Mountain Phinney Ridge Taproom”. All the information about all the different games & venues is on the website!

(If you’re in Seattle generally but not free tomorrow, Bolted! is also stocked at Blue Highway Games in Queen Anne.)

Next week, I’ll be at Gen Con! I personally will be hanging with my buddy Sam Logan at BFE Webcomics, booth #1217… but I have it on good authority that copies of Bolted! will be available at the CRWN Studios booth, #2549.

Visit one booth! Then the other! The order…is up to you.
