I had a knock on the door this morning (who knocks when you have a doorbell?) only to open it and catch the postie pulling out of the driveway. A MYSTERIOUS BLUE BAG was left beside the door. Inside were two books (inside the box stuffed with filler paper that was in the bag, that is):

Of course this is related to our recent Tides of Numbers Campaign and are the arrival of two of our raffle prizes:

Sadly, I cannot find rpgcodex mentioned in the list of KickStarter backers. It may be because we PayPal'd after the KickStarter was closed.



DOES THIS MEAN THE CODEX WON'T BE MENTIONED IN-GAME?

Edit: As dolio points out, it's more likely the names listed here are from the separate Numenera corebook KickStarter. As "Name in the back of the Corebook" was something specifically offered there.
