#178; A display of Circumstantial Evidence

Comic Transcripts

[[Wide view of a large, official-looking building. It’s a jail. It’s the state penitentiary.]]

Amos: But you’re my LAWYER, Rod! There’s got to be SOMETHING you can do!
Rod: I’m sorry, Amos, it’s pretty OPEN-AND-SHUT from their point of view.

[[Inside a brick-walled room, presumably inside the official building from panel 1. There is a trunk stage up-right. ROD is in front of the trunk, and AMOS is in a cylindrical cage beside the trunk.]]

Amos: That maniac JUMPED me in an alley, BEAT me senseless…TIED me up and LEFT me, passed out, bleeding!

Amos: I was MUGGED, for god’s sake! In WHAT world do I then get LOCKED UP?

Rod: Note from Batman says you’re the perp, then you’re the perp.
Amos: HOW IS THAT EVEN ADMISSIBLE

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!
