#820; A Shocking Realization

Comic Transcripts

[[Gax is gesturing towards Mr. Meanscary]]
Gax; Gaxians secrete serotonin to aid in COMBAT. It reacts with GROBBLAX in the air to create a potent FEAR TOXIN! But for some reason it doesn’t work on humans!
Mr. Meanscary; What- What is grobblax?

Gax; You know. GROBBLAX. It’s like ten percent of the atmosphere!
Mr. Meanscary; We don’t have grobblax.
Gax; Are you an IDIOT? Atomic number 86.
Mr. Meanscary; 86 is radon.
Gax; RAY-DONN? Sounds FAKE

[[Zone out with Gax and Mr. Meanscary in silhouette. Dog is behind Gax facing him.]]
Gax; . . .Wait, what does serotonin do, then?
Mr. Meanscary; Makes people feel happy and content.

[[Close-up on Gax who is in angry shock, piecing it together with his hands]]
Gax; Happy and CONTENT?!

Gax; FIFTY MILLION INHABITED PLANETS AND I GET THE ONE WITHOUT GROBBLAX?! <>
[[Gax kicks the dog into Mr. Meanscary’s face. Blood splatter surrounds his face.]]

{{alt-text: It’s always disorienting to be faced with the prospect that one’s interactions with the world are controlled not by intention, but by neurochemistry.}}

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.
