1. I own close to 100 copies of Vanilla Ice’s autobiography (when I learned it was ghost-written by his manager Tommy Quon, I lost all interest in being a distributor).
2. In the seventh grade, I invented a new eating utensil called the “clingting.” I ate every meal with it for four and a half years. It involved magnets.
3. On a dare, I once broke a window of a police car with my forehead, then blamed it on a homeless guy passed out in a gutter nearby and was awarded a medal.
4. Ever since I saw “The Neverending Story,” I’ve felt that if ever I am truly needed, I will hear a book calling out to me. It’s happened twice and I’ve ignored it both times.
5. I used to be a vegetarian for moral reasons, but ever since a cow kicked my baby brother in the head I’ve switched to an all-beef diet. Those jerks deserve it.
6. I’ve never understood the lyrics to “U Can’t Touch This.” Is he talking about his…

CHARLES: You know, I think the point is that they’re supposed to be TRUE.
ELISE: You don’t know me very well, do you?

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.
