#551; In which a Tale is recounted for Posterity

Comic Transcripts

[[A young woman, Barbara, is seated with her Grandpa]]
Barbara: Okay Grandpa, just tell me as much as you can remember.
Grandpa: About what in partickler

Barbara: You know, your life. Family history. I want to get it all on record.
Grandpa: What is the aim of this record
Barbara: For… for history. For future generations. So I can share it with my grandkids someday.

Grandpa: You fixin to mark this in history for all time forever?
Barbara: Hopefully!
Grandpa: All right, then set this down: I live with a woman name of Mabel Herschfeld who is a type of creature to eat the last piece of carrot stick and put the empty bag back in the icebox. This speaks of some manner of *deficit*.

[[Mabel Herschfeld enters from the right.]]
Mabel Herschfeld: Barbara dear, am I going to have a chance to contribute to your record as well?
Grandpa: It’s too late! The account that comes first is *trusted*.

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.
