Comic Transcripts

[[Two young people discuss a recent television show. One is clearly upset.]]
Knowledgeable Viewer: Can you BELIEVE what happened on Headstabbers last night??
Knowledgeable Viewer: When Duke Gristleton popped out of that birthday cake with a halberd —
Aggravated Viewer: AAHHH! SPOILERS!! I haven’t seen it yet!

Knowledgeable Viewer: SORRY. But, you know, the BOOKS the show is based on have been out for OVER SIX YEARS.
Aggravated Viewer: I haven’t READ the books! The show is still new to me, if I’m ALLOWED to enjoy it!

Knowledgeable Viewer: The books are a loose dramatization of the Franco-Prussian War, anyway. So there aren’t a lot of surprises.
Aggravated Viewer: I don’t know anything about that war! All I know about PRUSSIA is that it sounds like Russia but looks like Germany!

Knowledgeable Viewer: Well, even the Franco-Prussian War, like any troop conflict of the cavalry era, was a rehash (with variations) of every pre-mechanized conflict going back to the Peloponnesian War of 400 B.C.
Aggravated Viewer: You know that stuff’s all Greek to me!!
Knowledgeable Viewer: Really, ANY clash of forces has its roots in the second law of thermodynamics.

[[The aggravated viewer is now so panicked that he appears to be upside down at a 45 degree angle.]]
Aggravated Viewer: I never had a science class! And I only watched Cosmos with the sound off!
Knowledgeable Viewer: It just means that in a closed system, chaos tends to increase.
Aggravated Viewer: C’MON, dude! SPOILERS!!!

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!
