GRIMSWORTH: Did you SEE this? What a FARCE!
PLUMBERT: That describes SO many things that I could not POSSIBLY respond to your question with certainty

GRIMSWORTH: They’re SHELVING the Headstabbers reboot movie.
PLUMBERT: Headstabbers: Re-Beheaded? REALLY?!
GRIMSWORTH: The studio’s gonna take the writeoff instead!
PLUMBERT: That’s an OUTRAGE!
GRIMSWORTH: It’s worth more DEAD than alive! Like Archduke Bonesmash in the LAST movie!

PLUMBERT: I can’t believe they’re going to just TRASH the hard work of all those actors, artists, creative people on the crew… It’s basically BOOK BURNING.
GRIMSWORTH: It’s a MORAL WRONG to just DISCARD all that blood, sweat, and tears. The folks on the inside have an ETHICAL IMPERATIVE to LEAK the movie. I pray someone has the courage.

[[A woman, CLEMBERTA, joins them at the workbench, holding another newspaper.]]

CLEMBERTA: They’re ALSO shelving the Rob Schneider/Kevin Sorbo dramedy about “What If Moses Was Reincarnated in Postwar Ohio and Played Minor League Baseball”
CLEMBERTA: That’s both the premise AND the actual title
CLEMBERTA: Those artists ALSO worked hard! Let THEIR work be seen! This must ALSO be leaked!!
PLUMBERT: I mean that one can probably stay right where it is

Bolted! Shipping is UNDERWAY

April 4, 2026 by David Malki !

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!
