#1555; In which a Home is Haunted (Part 4 of 8)

Comic Transcripts

PART 4 of the ongoing storyline. Borgus is at work, staring into the middle distance, as his boss ALAMBRA approaches. Like Borgus, she is adorned in proper PPE (hard hat).
ALAMBRA: Borgus, do you have any updates on the transatlantic pontoon bridge project? Borgus. BORGUS!
ALAMBRA: That slack-eyed look… that unfocused gaze… Did you JUST see the lightning duds for the first time or something?
LINDOR (co-worker): HA! Prob’ly STILL thinkin’ about th’ LAUNDRY ones in his lady’s DELICATES!
ALAMBRA: Did it AWAKEN something in you, Borgus?
ALAMBRA (nonchalant): There’s no shame in it.
LINDOR: We’ve all thought it. Some weekend, you should come round after supper. Me an’ the missus have worked out a BIT of an arrange–
[Borgus is now home, wearing his home hat. His wife Clementhe sits on a chair, weeping into a handkerchief and squeezing the tears into a scrapbook she keeps for this reason.]
CLEMENTHE: Rough day at work?
BORGUS: I GUESS WE’RE GONNA BE HIT BY LIGHTNING BECAUSE I CANNOT WITH THIS WHOLE WHATEVER

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!
