#567; O Selfless Saviors

Comic Transcripts

[[A group of businessmen are having a meeting. The fellow running the meeting is offpanel. Let’s call him CHESTER.]]
CHESTER: Congratulations, gentlemen!
Another Halloween passed without incident.
No children were poisoned by HOMEMADE COOKIES laced with strychnine.

[[Same as first panel, but slightly closer.]]
CHESTER: No rosy little cheeks were SLASHED by RAZOR-LADEN APPLES.
This year, like every other year, ALL the treats consumed were SAFE.

[[Same as first and second, but closer.]]
CHESTER: Thank heavens our shrill, insistent warnings were heeded!
Our paranoia-inducing hypervigilance has once again saved a generation of children from certain harm.
AND WE DO THIS GLADLY.

[[CHESTER stands in front of a chart with a thin-lipped smile on his face.]]
CHESTER: After all, children are our future!
[[The chart is titled PACKAGED CANDY SALES and shows a sharp increase for the month of October.]]

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.
