[[A man in a turban sits, with some scales. A woman in a sari and ornate earrings sits as well.]]
Man: Hi, how are ya?
Woman: Oh, I’ve got a touch of the ol’ malaise.
Woman: You know what I mean? One day, things finally click. The world make sense for the first time, maybe ever.
Woman: Or at least it seems that way.

[[Frame gets closer to woman, alone.]]
Woman: And it’s not to be. For whatever reason … It’s just impossible.
Woman: You have to let it go.
Woman: You have to watch it walk away and try to remember that life goes on.

Woman: But you keep reliving the memory…
Woman: The day, the hour, the single second when things were perfect.
Woman: My most beautiful, wonderful might-have-been.

[[Frame pulls back to both the man and the woman; the man is now on the right.]]
Woman: So, other than that, I’m okay, I guess.
Woman: How are you?
Man: Haven’t eaten in six days.

New ways to get Bolted!

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.
