Comic Transcripts

[[A courtroom scene. A man, BLATHERTON, addresses a jury while gesturing toward a bearded man, GRIMWALD, who sits at a table. Maybe the witness stand? Not entirely clear.]]

BLATHERTON: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury!
BLATHERTON: I would like to LIST the acts this man has FREELY ADMITTED TO!!

BLATHERTON: FACT! This man lured people into his LAIR. FACT! The victims were DRUGGED, rendering them unable to defend themselves.
BLATHERTON: FACT! This man then SLASHED open the victims’ bodies with a razor-sharp knife. FACT! His hands DRIPPING with the victims’ blood, he literally CUT OUT THEIR HEARTS while they were STILL ALIVE.

BLATHERTON: But this sick ritual was not over! FACT! This man then REPLACED his victims’ hearts with ones TAKEN FROM CORPSES!!
BLATHERTON: Sometimes his victims DIED from the trauma! Other times they regained consciousness with NO MEMORY of the gruesome procedure, and managed to escape — with THE HEART OF A DEAD STRANGER TRAPPED IN THEIR BODY!

BLATHERTON: And he was PAID by OBAMACARE to do it!!
GRIMWALD: I feel it must be mentioned that I am, in fact, a heart surgeon
BLATHERTON: YOU don’t get to decide what I find deplorable!!

If he had EATEN the hearts, I could at least understand the hunter's mindset -- but he THREW THEM AWAY like it was so much SPORT!!

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!
