[[Two girls by a tree; one, in armor, carries a lance, while the other looks bored.]]
JANICE: Where were you? I waited at the jousting green all morning!
THEA: I don’t want to joust anymore, Janice.

JANICE: What are you, crazy? We’ve got to get ready for the tournament! I can’t go it alone!
THEA: There’s not gonna be a tournament. Nobody’s gonna show up. I know we’ve worked hard, with the flyers, the radio spots, and Lord knows the skywriting wasn’t cheap…
THEA: But let’s just face facts. There are just not enough jousters in Anchorage. Why did we stress ourselves out about this stupid tournament? Why do we constantly make life difficult on purpose?

JANICE: Because an unchallenging life would be boring.
THEA: NO! It was because of the prospect of hot boys in jousting pants! And I am SO disappointed!

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.
