#277; In which That sounds like a Dare

Comic Transcripts

[[A Mother and her Moppet are chatting. Mother is resting in a chaise chair, while Moppet is standing beside, sweetly, hands on the armrest.]]

Moppet: Mom, I found this old journal of yours in the attic. You don’t seem very pleased to have had me.

Moppet: I’m referred to as ‘that wailing she-demon’ or ‘Poopy McPoop-Maker’ or ‘Regretty Mistakovich’. Didn’t you like me?

Mother: Honey, you were a baby! The only ones who like babies are folks who don’t have to deal with them. Nobody really likes Poopy McPoop-Maker, but we can put up with babies. Because the point of life isn’t to just do things we like. It’s to do things that are meaningful.

Moppet: ‘March 18: Trying to raise this child is the most meaningless task I have ever attempted.’
Mother: That’s from when we were sure you were going to grow up to be the Antichrist.

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.
