[[The whole group from the farm is now gathered for a post-battle review in the locker room.]]

JUNDLEY: …All right, I think we should debrief how that went, out at the farm.
JUNDLEY: Saxor, good work catching her as she tried to flee.
SAXOR: She was easy to outrun.
JUNDLEY: I should hope so. Jellina, nice job pretending to comfort her, then snapping her neck.
JELLINA: I did not PRETEND. She WAS comforted, in the end.

[[Also present are KIBLEY, an even taller woman than Jellina; MORBLUS, a barrel-chested guy; and TANTOR, the largest man yet.]]

JUNDLEY: Kibley, good hustle on crushing all her ribs.
KIBLEY: In retrospect, I DO think I missed a few.
JUNDLEY: It’s fine. Tantor made sure ALL her bones were powder.
TANTOR: Bones AND cartilages
MORBLUS: And I helped!
KIBLEY: ONLY with the cartilages

[[All that’s visible of GRUMSBACH is his lower, orcish half, looming over everyone. ZINGO, a martial artist, crouches in his typical ready pose.]]

JUNDLEY: Grumsbach, once again, it’s sufficient to mash the remains to smithereens. You DON’T need to EAT the smithereens.
GRUMSBACH: Do not NEED, but WANT
JUNDLEY: Zingo, quick hands as always, rendering the fluids into paste…
ZINGO: What I DO with this paste will REMAIN my SECRET

JUNDLEY: Finally, Buff Santa, thanks for helping, I know this is a busy time of year.
BUFF SANTA: My FISTS are a GIFT to the NAUGHTY.
JUNDLEY: So you keep saying.

[[Finally, Jundley turns to face little ol’ Bimpley.]]

JUNDLEY: And that leaves YOU.
BIMPLEY: I am having the TIME of my LIFE!

I never thought being struck by a thrown frying pan would make me feel so ALIVE!

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!
