Comic Transcripts

[[Two friends discuss a recent email.]]
Friend: Hey, what was with the email you sent? Was it a mistake? It just said ‘fav’.
Fav-er: Yeah. We were done with our conversation, right?

Fav-er: So I acknowledged it with a fav. “I see no need to respond, so here’s a punctuation mark.”
Friend: You can’t fav via email.
Fav-er: You can if you just write ‘fav’.

[[The fav-er hands the friend a card, like a business card.]]
Friend: I guess you’ve got me there.

[[The friend inspects the card. It is a blank card with a large yellow star on it, the symbol of favoriting a post on Twitter.]]

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!
