Comic Transcripts

JAMES: I- I was playing with my truck? A-and it fell into a puddle and got muddy? Why do these things happen, Daddy? Why is the world full of misery?

ANTON: Think of it this way. In an infinite theoretical future, we’ve mastered time travel a million times over, right? That means than an infinite number of time travelers have already come back to fix everything that needed fixing. They’ve created the best possible universe for us! Anything bad that still happens must have been a compromise to prevent something even worse.

JAMES: But if humanity lasts long enough to master time travel, then wouldn’t we be overrun with time travelers? Doesn’t the fact that we’re not mean that humanity is doomed?
ANTON: We ARE overrun with time travelers, sweetie pie. You just don’t recognize them.

ANTON: All ants are actually humans from the future. Resource scarcity will not be kind to our evolution.
JAMES: This is just another trick to try and get me to worship ants

Bolted! Fulfillment Update

Photo courtesy of backer Nicola!

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!
