In addition to the obvious puzzles in this latest issue, there are at least four other puzzles that are not marked as such and are not immediately obvious. One of them, the pictogram, already has a thread, but I thought we could use this one to discuss the other three, namely the "Who's To Blame?" article, the "This First" cipher up on the top of the issue, and the article on the Ouroboros. I am particularly anxious to hear other's thoughts on the message in the "Who's To Blame?" article, as I personally find it quite baffling! I haven't cracked the other two yet, but if anyone has, I would welcome your hints and insights!

Right? Like what is that about? Also, I have figured out "This First" however, it either has typos, or refers to things in initial form that I can't figure out. Does D. B. mean anything to anyone?

Helena pointed that out too but with a different notoriety than I could find.

Sorry, but "This first?" I am not seeing what you are talking about.

Sorry, but "This first?" I am not seeing what you are talking about. Ariock, on the top of the pages are a cipher starting with a cheese icon, shortly followed by THIS FIRST and then seemingly random letters with some partial words thrown in. To be more specific: (Cheese)THISFIRSTGSSDUBPANOPTIOCNANOGSETCRETOROLGLMENDENMDCROSWSODRMMAPSGETEHAPTHCNRY (Apple) In addition to that, they seem to be along a ruler. This ruler also seems to line up with an older curio, as do the icons.

So I didn't see anything at the top of some other pages and thought something got cut off.

You should try searching there, see what you can find that might work with this puzzle.

Who's to Blame has to relate to the curio with the 20 sided die somehow. Clever bastards...

I was thinking that too. Especially since the horoscopes say look to the stars for direction and there are stars in The Blame Game logo and there are things in the horoscopes that you can blame. Assign those things a number and then you can do other stuff. In theory.
