Comic Transcripts

[[Gax is loudly insulting two pedestrians.]]
Gax: WHOOO! My SENSE ORGAN that you people don’t have is getting DISGUSTED by the secretions you people don’t know you’re exuding!!
Human: Gax, why do you even LIVE here, if you hate humans so much?

Gax: HATE HUMANS? I don’t hate humans?
Gax: I work with humans every day! I get along FINE with humans! Some of my best FRIENDS are humans!
Gax: I RELY on human industry to manufacture the volatile chemicals that I require to properly clean my body!

Gax: I don’t ACTIVELY HATE EVERY SINGLE HUMAN. That’s preposterous! More, it’s prepondiculous!
Human: Then why are you always complaining about, and threatening, and issuing decrees condemning, and constructing sickeningly baroque traps for us?

Gax: I hate ANYONE who does human THINGS or displays stereotypically human TRAITS!
Gax: COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

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!
