Golden Infinity

Not long ago, on this very blog, we told you that the LFG-based board game, Orphans & Ashes, was up for a d-Infinity Independent Game Award. Turns out, not only did we win our category (Best Board Game), but we got the gold in the Overall Gaming Product category!

I know it dulls some of the shine pointing this out, but gold is second place in the Overall Gaming Product, behind platinum. #goldentruth Even so, we are extremely proud to have produced an award winning board game. #moretruth We want our loyal fans to celebrate this win with us. So, from now until JULY 3rd, if you use code GAMEOFTHEYEAR at checkout in the Blind Ferret store, you get $5 off a copy of Orphans & Ashes!

(I tried to get them to give infinity percent off to tie into the awards. Apparently I can be trusted to design a board game, but my business suggestions are “fiscally idiotic” and “mathematically impossible.” #truthhurts). This offer is valid until Sunday July 3rd at 11:59pm EST.

Speaking of dates, here are the top comments for May 30th to June 10th!

Oh so your wife was murdered by C’Thun? The old god that looked like a giant eye with tentacles? Well it was her own damn fault for not putting on nature resist gear when going in to take the eye beam so everyone else can get in position. Not only did she wipe the raid but she couldn’t even find the way back to the instance portal. Instead of complaining about it you should try and help her find the portal so she can recover her body. Though by now she probably rage quite. Sigh people just can’t follow directions…

Cale, I’m sorry. That ascot just isn’t working for me. Not many can pull off an ascot as well as Fred, he just set the style bar too high. You just don’t have what it takes.

Joshua Petersen (in response to safyrejet)
Little known fact: Cale is Fred’s mother.

TheCollector222
Ok I think Dragon guy is just trying to hard at this point. lol

Jordana Sinclair (in response to TheCollector222)
His wife was killed by a point.

To be fair, we don’t know how you can hear either.
Or eat.
Or breathe.
Or mate…. Seriously. Even before FIC.

Galileo Figaro (in response to Mr. Random, Richard Bigs, and Joe Angel)
Eyesight and hearing: Telekinetic Hand swipe Braille Sonar. (I’m coining the term Braille Sonar.)
They read space itself and the positions of every molecule Translate into image and sound in their brains.
Eating: Their skin excretes a mucus that disolves food that is then consumed by their skin pores located in the fingertips of their mega fingers.
Breathing: Through those same pores.
Mating: Retractable hand that is giving you the birdie for men, Retractable hand that has its index and thumb constantly touch for the ladies.
Talking: Telekinetic Manipulation of air molecules to produce vibrations through their head-fingers, an ability so natural to them that it has no disadvantages against normal speaking mechanisms.
I call it… TeMAMPS.
There, I explained it all.
WHERE IS MY NOBEL PRIZE?!

alexandre (in response to Mr. Random)
the answer to all of those question is the same.
like a starfish

Dennis Hart
Awww… Have you ever seen something so cuticle?!

Cut my cake into pieces,
This is my last dessert.
Mastication, no breathing,
Don’t give a fork if I die eating.

The Cake of Truth.
Only it’s a lie.

Tiny Dick’s War Party Cakes are served in the following order:
War Cake – (uses molasses, corn syrup, or raisins in place of sugar, which was scarce during World War I)
Pound Cake – (butter, sugar, eggs, flour)
Misérable Cake – (almond sponge cake, filled with buttercream)
Depression Cake – (made without milk, butter, or eggs)

Richard is like when the craziest person in your group is a parent and you occasionally have to be reminded that they’re also the most responsible and it’s super weird.

Raphael Silva
That krunch is painful to watch. I can’t be the only one that misses our favorite Dick on a Stick swinger.

Ryan
Krunch imagery is the LFG version of Rick-rolling someone.
They’re never gonna give (Krunch) up, only gonna let you down, always gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

I’m sorry… I’m sorry…
That looks like a lot of hand jobs.

Dave Conlan
Builders, but no gardeners? I thought they’d be excellent gardeners with their green fingers.

Jason Reeves
So … they’re Handymen … *groan*

If you are in the Matrix, any one of them could be taken over by an Agent at any time. Best kill everyone just to be safe.

DVS BSTrD
Triremes? Somehow Cale even managed to piss-off the Athenians.

alexandre
It’s kind of nice that they copied Richard’s color for their boats, like just making it clear they are bad guys now

They’re building a home for Handburg’s Burgermeister. It’s their job. They’re Handburger Helpers.

Because idle Dnah’s are the devils playting.

You have to admire how the artist is able to convey expression and emotion without the familiar reference of faces. It reminds me of a limited comic book series from the 80’s by Phil Foglio called Buck Godot: Zap Gun For Hire in which his best friend Al (owner of Asteroid Al’s Bar and Grille, of course) is a Thuxian who has no eyes (but can still see somehow) and yet you can still associate with his expressions. It was up as a web comic at StudioFoglio for the longest time, but it looks like they took it down…… Rats!

Casey Fuentes
I gotta say, I never had a problem with Dnah until I played Dark Souls 3. Now I think “Oh God a Monstrosity of Sin it’s gonna eat my souuuuls… Shoot it in the face until it stops being funny!”

Let it burn, let it burn
Set the orphanage on fire
Let it burn, let it burn
Raze whole cities to the ground
Here I stand
And here I’ll stay
Let the blaze rage on

…..We’ll let it go this time…..

That must a bootleg wig – Elsa’s post-Let It Go hairstyle is an overglorified mullet with a shoulder-phasing braid attached to it.
Dick’s hair here looks like a traditional braid with bangs that would actually look good on a real person 😛

Mr. Random
For a second he forgot he was a comic relief character.
Then he remembered his tragic past and it cheered him up.

Kirby Gargantiel
Psst! Speaking of the Purse. Isn’t there a Kracken in there exactly for situations like these?

Kai Kohaku
Now it’s getting purse-onal.

LaughingTarget
Cale: You made fun of my ascot. You said Fred from Scooby Doo rocked it better. But check these abs. You think Fred is this cut? Huh? Do you? Think not.

Rémi Gérard
Benny, panel 3, is this really the moment to put your hand in Cale’s pants?

Mom must of had thumb relocation surgery. She got tired of not being able to use the same pair of scissors and always getting herself smudged when she was writing. Dnah wasn’t allowed to ask about that either.

Bob Man
Alas, we cannot change the hands we are dealt.

Memnar
Do they have giant jars of nail polish? Or do they just use regular paint on their nails? And how hard is it to paint them with those tiny arms? Or do they get other people to do it for them? And how do these creatures even see? Is it just magic, or do they have some super sense of touch that lets them “see” the world around them? And most importantly, is her thumbnail painted too? I would imagine so, but we don’t know for sure. Oooh, even more important question, do they paint the fingernails of their little hands?

Until next time, be excellent to each other!
Seriously.
