#1158; One Big Key to Success

Comic Transcripts

[[BRIMSWORTH and CLOMBERT have brought a pair of enormous ornate keys to a forbidding mountainscape.]]

BRIMSWORTH: The keys… they DID fit into the mountain!
CLOMBERT: Hark! A fissure yawns in the stone!

[[A wild-haired figure, HAGATHA, emerges dramatically atop a flying broom. I wouldn’t call her a witch, because I don’t know for sure, but you’d be forgiven for making the assumption.]]

HAGATHA (eerily): Who dares knock at the threshold of our realm?
BRIMSWORTH: We…we return the keys that were lost in the Twilight War!
HAGATHA: What! Be ye sons of the forest? Or sons of Earth?
BRIMSWORTH: Neither! We are heirs from the line of Seahaven!

HAGATHA: Lies from perdition! Seahaven bore no heirs these last centuries!
BRIMSWORTH: So it was thought!

[[Hagatha looms and zooms menacingly as the men shield their faces.]]

BRIMSWORTH: We wish only to return the keys to the Lord of Stone
HAGATHA: The Lord slumbers! He will not be woken to hear lies from men!

CLOMBERT: Ready a spell, brother…this hundred-year-old hag means us only ill!
HAGATHA: Aw, sweetie… do I really look only a hundred

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.
