#1137; The Earthworm Bucket, Part 2 (of 4)

Comic Transcripts

[[A new challenger is discussing matters with the debater from the previous comic.]]
Storyteller: I GET it. You just want to always have the last word. Be SMARTER than anyone you talk to.
Debater: You’re referring to my advocacy of vigorous debate.
Debater: People should WANT their opinions to be able to withstand challenge!

Storyteller: In ninth grade, my friend and I made a PACT.
Storyteller: We both liked this girl, and we were both going to woo her. But we promised that we’d stay friends, no matter WHICH of us she chose.
Debater: I object to ANY use of the term ‘woo’

Storyteller: She “chose” neither of us. She had NO interest in what we were doing. But WE thought of it as an either/or proposition.
Storyteller: It’s possible for you to poke holes in someone’s arguments and STILL BE WRONG yourself.

Debater: I’m not sure what you were trying to PROVE with your parable of romantic patheticness, but if you’re expecting me to be able to RELATE to it, I have NEWS for you…
Debater: I have NEVER had a FRIEND

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.
