#1013; The Longest Monday

Comic Transcripts

[[A senior with a top hat and glasses, accompanied by a younger adult wearing some kind of headscarf, talks to a scout of some kind holding binoculars.]]
Tophat: What’re conditions like? Any forecast?
Scout: Looking grim for early next week! Monday’s gonna be a big one!

Headscarf: A big storm?
Scout: A big Monday! The worst in years! Could be up to 97 hours long!
Scout: At least four sunrises! Early reports suggest the date MIGHT hit triple digits!

Headscarf: What can we do?
Scout: Get out your funny mugs! Bone up on your Garfield! Just gonna have to grit it out!

[[A young child brings news.]]
Tophat: Any indication about the weekend leading up?
Scout: May be as short as thirty-five minutes.
Headscarf: Oh god… we’re still rebuilding from TGIWTF!
Child: Almost a RIOT at the store! I got all the kitten posters I could grab!

Bolted! games have been shipping to backers over the last couple of weeks! The non-US orders are (mostly) done and some folks have been reporting receiving them already!

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!
