[[BLANGELA kneels next to her toddler daughter, CYNTHNIA.  Toys little the floor and fill a nearby basket.]]

BLANGELA: …Good!  Now put the rattle in the basket too!

BLANGELA: Right in the basket!  There you go!  Right in there with the other toys!

[[Cynthnia goes to put away the rattle.  All Cynthnia’s dialogue is shakily hand-written, in lowercase.]]

CYNTHNIA: doys

BLANGELA:  Good!  Now can you find the ball?  Where’s the ball?  The ball needs to go in the basket with the rattle!

[[Cynthnia picks up the ball.]]

CYTHNIA: inna backet

BLANGELA:  Into the basket!  GOOD!  Now we need to put the car in!  The car goes in there too!

[[Cynthnia picks up her last toy.]]

BLANGELA:  You’re doing such a great job.  You’re a GOOD HELPER!  Thank you for helping Mommy!

[[All the toys are now in the basket!]]

BLANGELA:  You DID it!  All done!

CYNTHNIA: diddit!

BLANGELA:  You have succeeded at the task of picking up the mess you yourself caused!  Productivity-wise, we’re out of the red and back up to zero!

CYNTHNIA: zeewo!!

Compared to most days, this is progress!

New ways to get Bolted!

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.
