#672; The Matter of the Envelopes, Pt.3

Comic Transcripts

MILO: We think our house is being haunted by an ineffective ghost.
BRUCE: Let me commune with the energies of the departed. Please lower the lights – Yes. Yes. I feel the presence of an energy from beyond this world!

SYLVIE: Please tell them that I used to live here, and my spirit has become attached to the memories of the office supplies I used to have…
BRUCE: She was a traveler. Taken in by a hog rancher back when this used to be farmland?
SYLVIE: What? No, I lived in the seventies – I had this great Bakelite phone –
BRUCE: She was an exiled princess on the run from the Belgian royal guard?she hid in the bar with the hogs and was killed by the captain, who had once loved her but was bound by his duty?

SYLVIE: I sold ballpoint pens door-to-door from my Nash Metropolitan
BRUCE: We will need to perform a complex and incredibly expensive musical exorcism. Luckily, I just happen to be in a band! We can probably squeeze you in between our incredibly important gigs in the courts of Popes worldwide

SYLVIE: I?

SYLVIE: I’m a princess?

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!
