#1578; In which Trees are a Lot

Comic Transcripts

[[Two men, LENID and RINNY, are browsing a Christmas tree lot. Lenid looks admiringly at a big bushy tree.]]

LENID: What do you think of this one?
RINNY: Yeah! Looks great. I’ll get in line to pay.

LENID: Don’t you want to look at any others?
RINNY: WHY? This one’s fine! Good choice! Let’s get it and be done!
LENID: We JUST GOT here!
RINNY: And now we can MINIMIZE our time here to go enjoy the REST of our life!

LENID: Just take one walk around. See if there are any other contenders.
RINNY (rolling his eyes): Fine

[[Rinny walks among the other trees, dismissing each handily.]]

RINNY: No. No. No. Inferior. Inferior. Inferior… Actually, THIS one’s pretty. Let me see the one you chose again?

LENID: SEE? Aren’t you GLAD I made you look?
RINNY: I’m SORRY, trees! You all seem perfectly nice! But we INSIST on making all but ONE of you into LOSERS we have to ACTIVELY REJECT! We could have ben TEN BLOCKS AWAY by now but INSTEAD we’re gonna make you ALL feel bad!

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.
