[Teaser] 60 Blank White Cards Teaser site and puzzle for forthcoming ARG (apparently with a cash prize - not that these things matter to anyone right? ) Linky to registration front page.

60BWC Teaser Site Launches

Imagine me as procrastinating Morbus. After months of discussion and research, and years of ideas percolating but never brewed, I'm finally satisfied there's a house blend worth sipping. This site (and this is not the final design!), is the home of my next major project. Unlike some of my other solo projects, a new team has been built consisting of one artist, two story designers, four writers, and a few puzzle makers (note that we're missing a marketer - contact us if you're interested).
(wod-3)-1
They'll be more teasers over the coming days and weeks. Until then:
* Player accounts will be important - why not register right now?
* You can opt-in for emailed updates when you register.
* Yes, we've planned to offer cash prizes. Thanks for asking.
* You can only get prize-winning points when you're logged in.
While you're waiting, why don't you try the requisite word puzzle?

I wonder if it will be anything like 1,000 Blank White Cards .

I signed up to see what happens. I don't think I comprehend the word puzzle though.

The Word Puzzle Apparently there are 4 answers, so I would guess that the "title" is also part of the puzzle
TITLE: (wod-3)-1
Code:
TP3M
____
GX6T
____
JC0G
THAT IS A ZERO IN THE LAST 4 CHARACTERS

I signed up, too. I need to practice my word puzzling, big time.

S/He said this the "requisite 'word' puzzle", so I think that the title shows the method. [How to change "(wod-3)-1" into "word"] and that if we get that, the same method should work for the other 3 words. Just my take.

New blog post. Actually an interesting read. Basically it outlines the way the PM intends to run the game.

And some sketches too.
Has anyone made any headway with the word puzzle?

Not a bit. I can't even find anything similar, much less figure out what they're trying to do here.
Worse yet it seems as if it doesn't tell you if you have an answer correct, unless you get all four correct.

It looks like a small handful of people have already solved the two puzzles. I am totally stuck on the first one and have an idea on what the solution is for the second one, I just need to look up perplex city cards.
Any one have a hint for the first one?

I'm still stuck on the first one myself -- about all I can think of is that each vertical line refers to a past ARG, e.g. Perplex City for the 2nd and heroes 360 for the 3rd. Haven't come up with any ideas for 1 and 4, nor do I know if I'm even on the right track.

As for the puzzle, i got it
You are right about the 2nd one, but the 3rd one is right. Perhaps not all of them are ARGs....

I was thinking along the same lines, then realized why I wasn't getting the answer. Here's a hint.

They're systems, not necessarily individual games.

I can't figure out the first one. I've got the rest.
