Comic Transcripts

[[Two individuals discuss some magazines.]]
Non-hoarder: Hey, can we throw away some of these old magazines?
Hoarder: I haven’t gotten a chance to look through them yet!

Non-hoarder: They’re really piling up. Anything you want to read is online, anyway.
Hoarder: OH YEAH? What if the power goes out? What if the internet goes down?

Hoarder: What if the internet GOES AWAY FOREVER? You’ll be left with NOTHING while I will have this information preserved and ready.
Non-hoarder: So these magazines are LITERALLY being saved JUST IN CASE they’re USEFUL after a GLOBAL CATASTROPHE.
Non-hoarder: Riots in the streets… Stock market collapsed… living on canned beans… daily knife fights with warlords over the few Keurig K-cups left…

Non-hoarder: And WE’RE fully prepared, sitting tall and proud on a stack of 2011 New Yorkers.
Hoarder: I mean that’s the only point at which I’ll actually have enough free time to sit and read magazines

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!
