Comic Transcripts

Part 4 (the final part) of the storyline. Bill drives home after Christmas Eve at his mom’s house. On the darkened roadway, who does he see but Santa himself, silhouetted against the moon high above.

BILL (muttering to himself): Merry Christmas, little baby brother.

BILL: “Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, older brother whom I always respected and looked up to and whom I still think about often, even though I never send so much as a FACEBOOK HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”

Apparently Santa can hear him. They speak casually across the distance.

SANTA: Man, this is like my ONE thing

BILL: It’s FINE! GO! The REST of us will just be down here NOT being mythologized by an ENTIRE CULTURE!

SANTA: Dude, I’ll see you at Easter

BILL (bitterly): Until you slap your face all over THAT, TOO, RIGHT

We leave it there. God bless us everyone!

If I come home to find a wonderful present in my stocking that makes me feel sheepish for being grouchy, I am going to be SO MAD

New ways to get Bolted!

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.
