Comic Transcripts

[[ Two individuals, Carl and someone we’ll call Floyd, in old-fashioned diving suits. ]]
Carl: Check out my new diving suit! Top of the line, two thousand bucks! No expense spared!
Floyd: HA! I made MINE from common items at Home Depot. Just as nice, at a fraction of the price!

[[ Same scene. Floyd has added several odd attachments to his diving suit. ]]
Caption: LATER
Carl: Listen, man, you almost died last time. You sure you got the bugs worked out of that suit?
Floyd: The problem wasn’t BUGS the problem was WATER getting into the SUIT. I just needed new fittings, is all. And sealant. And better hoses. I’m all set now!

[[ Same scene. Floyd has replaced the odd attachments from before with other odd attachments. ]]
Caption: LATER
Carl: There is NO WAY I’m letting you into the water in that thing. Not after the LAST two times.
Floyd: You don’t OWN the water, Carl! I FIXED the problem! The canvas just needed to be GALVANIZED! Now MOVE ASIDE and LET ME DIVE!

[[ Same scene. Floyd has once more replaced the odd attachments with ever odder attachments. ]]
Caption: LATER
Floyd: I’ve spent six thousand dollars on this freaking thing and it STILL leaks.
Carl: Ah, but you did it YOURSELF!

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!
