Comic Transcripts

VINNY: Haw, look at that NERD! Bet he’s never seen a naked woman before!
CLAUDIO: Go back to your mom’s basement, dorkasaurus!

SHELDON: Now hold on just a minute!

SHELDON: Are we still doing this? Seriously? This stereotype is still clinging to life? First, the “nerds are all frustrated virgins” thing. Some of the nerdiest people I know are highly sexual women. And millions of nerds have spouses twice as nerdy as they are. And the mom’s basement thing? The nerds I know live in geodesic domes or multi-story treehouses or, at the very least, condos with garages big enough to hold their trebuchets.

SHELDON: As as for being socially maladjusted – well, guilty. But doesn’t everyone have some sort of neurosis? Better a little shy than, say, obsessed with celebrity, or addicted to drugs, or running around MURDERING PEOPLE WITH AXES. Really, you talk about socially awkward virgins living in their moms’ basements – you’re talking about SERIAL KILLERS.

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!
