Comic Transcripts

FATHER O’MALLEY: Blast it all! Tusky McMammoth was supposed to be here for a TEN-FIFTEEN appointment!
It’s nearly ELEVEN!

FATHER O’MALLEY: This is unacceptable. That boy has got to learn respect for other! When he gets here, he’s going to get the lecture of his young life!

A SMALL MAMMOTH: Father O’Malley! Is it a sin to look with lust upon a hippopotamus even if she’s not totally what you might call a compatible–
FATHER O’MALLEY: JAMES THIS IS NO TIME FOR YOUR FOOLISHNESS
WHERE IS TUSKY McMAMMOTH?

[[Cut to a scene of a man being executed by a firing squad.]]
MAN: Oh MAN Father O’Malley is gonna be SUPER pissed
SOLDIER: SHUT YOUR TRAITOROUS FACE McMAMMOTH

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!
