Comic Transcripts

Man: Susan? Can I ask you a question – an IMPORTANT question?
Would you still love me if my toes became mice?

Man: If my toenails became little tiny buck teeth, and the wrinkled skin on each knuckle twisted to become a series of sinister little pointed faces?
If the sparse hair on each digit stiffened and elongated into whiskers, and those rigid tendons on my feet became long, whipping tails, possessed of an independent dark energy?

Man: If I no longer WALKED from place to place, but rather was PORTED ABOUT by the scurrying of forty tiny legs, pulling my stiff, upright body from place to place entirely in opposition to any will I might express?
Man: Would you still love me if this nightmare became real TONIGHT, Susan? If the moon and the stars and my birthday just HAPPENED to combine in an awful, irresistible alchemy?

Susan: Is this likely?
Man: Why in the world would THAT matter SUSAN

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!
