#1542; Working Out the Demons

Comic Transcripts

[[Two men, GERANDIO and PIMLOCK, sit on a park bench]]

GERANDIO: You can BREAK UP with a musician, but it never really ENDS.
If you’re like me, you’ll spend the REST of your LIFE listening to EACH new song…
Wondering if she’s telling the WHOLE WORLD about ME. And MY faults.

GERANDIO: It’s AGONIZING! But I CAN’T STOP myself!
PIMLOCK: Heh heh, no risk of that here. My ex is actually a skywriting pilot.

GERANDIO: Oh, like that one up there?
PIMLOCK: Huh…that DOES kinda look like her plane…

[[Both men look up at the sky]]

PIMLOCK (narrowing his eyes): WOW. REAL mature, Melissa

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!
