Comic Transcripts

[[Two friends talk.]]
Friend: Hey! How ya doin’?
Book Clubber: Bluh. In a bit of a STATE.
Book Clubber: Sorry, I just came from BOOK CLUB where all we did was talk about our failed relationships.
Book Clubber: My friggin’ EX can’t accept that we’re broken up.

Friend: That’s kind of the point of social clubs, though, right? Just constructs to stimulate conversation. Nobody REALLY cares what you thought of THE KITE RUNNER. It’s just an icebreaker.
Book Clubber: I guess.
Book Clubber: We were definitely all on edge because GAX wasn’t there. Something about him being there makes me a little calmer.

Friend: Maybe it’s because then you know he’s not pretending to be one of the other people.
Book Clubber: Maybe.
Friend: Well, there’s the bluebird of happiness now. Things will turn around.

[[A parrot is shown.]]
Book Clubber: Thats [sic] not a bluebird. That’s a parrot.
Parrot: How are you? I’m fine. I’m fine.

[[Gax viciously devours the parrot.]]
Parrot: How are you? I’m sqwKKKAWW

Gax: What? I skipped lunch.
Book Clubber: Missed you at book club today, Gax! You okay?

Bolted! Fulfillment Update

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!
