#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*.

The vast majority of Bolted! game shipments are already shipped, but I understand if you don’t have yours yet, who cares. Here’s a progress report:

Total orders | 1052
Surveys completed | 992
Fully shipped | 946

Incomplete surveys

Obviously, if I don’t have your shipping address, I can’t ship your game! Let me know if you are missing a survey link. As new responses come in, they are rapidly added to the shipping queue.

Orders containing certain add-ons

Some of the add-ons proved more popular than expected — which is lovely! But it meant I had to reprint some stickers, make all the individual comic prints, request a shipment of books from offsite storage, etc, etc. So, any orders which contain an out-of-stock item are still waiting to ship.

All that missing stuff, though, is en route to me at this very second! So those orders will be going out pretty dang soon!

Custom items

I’ve already been in touch directly with the backers who ordered custom collages! Those will be created (and sent to you) after all the other shipments are complete. I’m excited for those, they’ll be fun! My pleasant dessert after the hearty meal of all the other orders.

Anything wrong?

I’m very grateful to the few folks who’ve contacted me to report some kind of issue with their shipment! Thankfully, problems are rare, but when they do occur, I would like to solve them. Please don’t hesitate to send me an email (replying to your shipping confirmation works great) if there’s anything about your order I can correct.

Reviews & photos

On BoardGameGeek are highly appreciated!

Unless you hate the game! You are entitled to that opinion, but please send that review directly to me instead of telling anyone else, so I can eat it and bury it in the yard and watch it grow into a twisted, gnarled tree. Or whatever!
