Gotta say, flipping through TCoE... it's a really pretty book.
I gotta ask... How many people have used puzzles like this in their games?
I personally love puzzles, and can't get enough of them in the ARG space, but I don't know about using them at the table. Maybe I have low expectations of my group's ability to solve them.
Not to mention they seem kind of gimmicky, and I have a hard time finding a common situation where they would be appropriate to use.
Then again, I technically have at least one puzzle in TCD1, so who knows.
This could also be because of my group's usual "kill things and take their stuff" mentality. I really can't imagine them spending the time to try and solve something like this.
I guess my opinion of puzzles is more centered around how lacking my own group is, rather than the concept itself.

I had created an account on the site before, and I have already documented that horror of a user experience. twitter.com/i/events/12781…
But the hack revealed several references to Wordpress, so I had to wonder... could this site, the site that conservatives are flocking to because it's not Twitter, really be a Wordpress derivative?
So apparently I had a very strange situation with a bank... In August of 2013, a checking account was apparently opened in my name in a bank I've never used and used for a few attempts at transfers or bounced checks.
It only had the original deposit to open the account of $50, but after a few checks or transfers without funds, the negative balance grew to over $1000 in the red by November.
Now I'm still not entirely sure if I've been cleared of this because the investigation is still ongoing, but while it's investigated and they decide whether to bill me the $1000+ due, they sent me a "customer appreciation" check for $125.
