#277; In which That sounds like a Dare

Comic Transcripts

[[A Mother and her Moppet are chatting. Mother is resting in a chaise chair, while Moppet is standing beside, sweetly, hands on the armrest.]]

Moppet: Mom, I found this old journal of yours in the attic. You don’t seem very pleased to have had me.

Moppet: I’m referred to as ‘that wailing she-demon’ or ‘Poopy McPoop-Maker’ or ‘Regretty Mistakovich’. Didn’t you like me?

Mother: Honey, you were a baby! The only ones who like babies are folks who don’t have to deal with them. Nobody really likes Poopy McPoop-Maker, but we can put up with babies. Because the point of life isn’t to just do things we like. It’s to do things that are meaningful.

Moppet: ‘March 18: Trying to raise this child is the most meaningless task I have ever attempted.’
Mother: That’s from when we were sure you were going to grow up to be the Antichrist.

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!
