#330; The Poison Convention

Comic Transcripts

LLOYD: Wow, what a great turnout! I didn’t think this many people were interested in poison.
DR. HELFSQUIGGLE: Are you kidding? “Every Rose” basically defined a marginalized generation. It was like my anthem senior year.

LLOYD: Wait, are you talking about “Poison” the band?
DR. HELFSQUIGGLE: Totally! Bret Michaels basically raised me. Through the tape player in my Camaro. Oh! And I’m pretty sure the lyrics for “Ride the Wind” were at least partially inspired by one of my fan letters.

LLOYD: Is everyone here for Poison the band?
DR. HELFSQUIGGLE: Uh, yeah, hombre! I’ve already met up with “ratttrap” from the old listserv.
LLOYD: Well, I feel like an idiot now.
DR. HELFSQUIGGLE: Why, what are you here for?
LLOYD: Nothing. Listen, I’d skip the punch.

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!
