Perks! Last night I cashed in my Dark Detour backer perk: dinner at the Magic Castle with Steve Peters. It was an amazing fun night!
Steve also handed me an envelop with my other perks, while mentioning that he had sent those out to all other contributors as well, so everyone should receive these shortly.
I took pictures of all contents of my package:

To make it easier for people reading on a phone or whatever, the postcard says:
Quote:
FOR A ROOM THAT IS FOUND
ON THE BIRTH OF 'THE ROOSE'
WHERE COLD BLENDS WITH PEACE
AND REVEALS STRENGTH OF MUSE
WHERE ECHOES REVERB
AND LOS MUERTOS SET FREE
PLEDGE ON ALL HALLOWS EVE
YOU WON'T SING OUT OF 'KEY.'
if I am wrong abut the quotes around 'the roose' please correct it. I'm still waiting for my postcard, so I wonder if any of them are different.
ETA:
DELETED THE SIDENOTE AS APPARENTLY EVERYONE THINKS IT IS A SPOILER, BUT KNOW I STRONGLY DISAGREE. IF THIS WAS A SPOILER, THE PM TEAM SHOULD HAVE SENT THIS ITEM TO EVERYONE AT ONCE RATHER THAN IN STAGES!!!

And I was so careful not to give anything away!

I got my packet today as well. The contents are the same as Giskard's with the same poem on the postcard. I only got one key. My cockroach has the letters FA written on top of it--it looks like there are letters on Giskard's too, but I can't tell what they are from the pic.

Got my package today as well ... priceless reaction.
Been considering the verse. Feels like it describes a live event.
Room found at the birth of The Roose? Roosevelt Hotel? It was named after Teddy, whose birthday was October 27 ... Which falls during the ARG. I called to see if they have a room 1027, but they don't. Maybe the opening date of the hotel itself?

Received mine today. When I did what I was supposed to do, I screamed like a kid, and probably peed my pants a little.
My postcard has the same poem. My cockroach has the letter "E" written on its back. Dunno if this is important, but my key had "CORBIN" printed on one side, and "H501" on the other.
Hope the pics help!

The description on his pic says the letters are "AL"

Back of my cockroach says "BT", for the record.

Meh, I thought I'd read all the descriptions, don't know how I missed that one!

My postcard went astray - it never arrived. (I suspect my mail carrier person - they've lost several things lately!)

ACK! I'm so out of practice....I didn't even *think* to look for anything on my perks....
But my hula dancer looks FAB on my '93 Jamboree RV's dashboard...
I'll dig around for my cockroach in the morning and see what I can find.....

I never got my postcard either - but I also had to give my address a second time, so I assume it is still coming, and there is no clue on it so it wasnt needed pre-game.

Found my cockroach. (ewww..)
Mine has the letters "AL" on the back as well.
I got a hula girl, so my postcard was different. It says:
A ROADTRIP COMPANION
A HIP-SHAKING DANCE
YOU LOOK FOR 'THE WAY'
BUT YOU WON'T STAND A CHANCE...
(Also, my daughter was expecting several packages for herself and thought this package was one of hers. She opened it before she noticed my name on the package, so it was her jumping and screaming instead of me....I probably enjoyed that way too much....)

Mine also has FA. And my postcard has the same lyrics as Giskard.
