I'll let them do the talking at the main post (including thanking the litany of people it took to pull off this coup): Rackenfracker's Eleven

Do let us know if you solve it (and what you think)!

Hacking the Cryptic with Herzwesten

Herzwesten and I are back with another text adventure–style cryptic, so  blow the dust out of your data ports and jack in—it's time to hack the cryptic! Like our  previous puzzles  in this genre, there are a few small cryptic grids plus a mini meta puzzle. Unlike the previous puzzles, the descriptive text that appears when you enter a correct answer is just for fun and immersion—you won't need it to solve the final puzzle.

If so, I'd love to know your favorite [redacted] or [redacted] of theirs.
