#659; O Theoretical Saviors

Comic Transcripts

JAMES: I- I was playing with my truck? A-and it fell into a puddle and got muddy? Why do these things happen, Daddy? Why is the world full of misery?

ANTON: Think of it this way. In an infinite theoretical future, we’ve mastered time travel a million times over, right? That means than an infinite number of time travelers have already come back to fix everything that needed fixing. They’ve created the best possible universe for us! Anything bad that still happens must have been a compromise to prevent something even worse.

JAMES: But if humanity lasts long enough to master time travel, then wouldn’t we be overrun with time travelers? Doesn’t the fact that we’re not mean that humanity is doomed?
ANTON: We ARE overrun with time travelers, sweetie pie. You just don’t recognize them.

ANTON: All ants are actually humans from the future. Resource scarcity will not be kind to our evolution.
JAMES: This is just another trick to try and get me to worship ants

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.
