DALE: How ’bout CHADBERG? You ever get Chadberg?
CHAD: Can’t really say I have.

CHAD: Not in a while.

DALE: Chadenstein?

CHAD: No.
DALE: Chadwülf, Lord of the Bloodmarsh?
Anyone ever call you CHADWÜLF, LORD OF THE BLOODMARSH?
CHAD: Usually it’s CHAD. Or, if there’s more than one Chad, sometimes I’ll go by WURTZ.
DALE: WURTZ!

DALE: WURTZENBERGER! WURTZENFELD! Lord Chaddenstock von Wurtzlemania the TENTH EARL OF CHADWURTZVILLE!
Mind if I call you that?
CHAD: I DO sometimes go by “Rad Chad.”

Bolted! games have been shipping to backers over the last couple of weeks! The non-US orders are (mostly) done and some folks have been reporting receiving them already!

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
