I’ve found some things, and figured out what connects those things thematically, and now I’m stuck.

Wow! I stared and stared and FINALLY saw the right path. Rick, that was a fantastic puzzle!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I’m still on the sofa with the other folks who’ve found the first step but don’t see how to get from there to an answer.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

This took me a while as well, but it all ties together so nicely. No sophomore slump from Cap’n Rick!
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Well that was a diverting and relaxing 30 minutes! Thanks for the puzzle! (Confirmed on Crosshare)

oh, man - finally! Crosshare confirms I've catapulted clear of the couch cushions. I could cry.

MAYBE 40 minutes? Yeah, I am a fairly speedy gridder. The meta itself I just happened to see right away… but I can easily see how some would see the first step and then wonder for a while what in the world to do with it, if one of the bits doesn’t wave a big flag at you immediately (one of them did that to me, and broke the code quickly).Cap'n Rick wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 11:08 pmOnly 30 minutes??!!

Relaxing may be a relative term — big chaotic day of work yesterday! (Multiple little fires, clock ticking on everything… so to sit down with coffee to solve one solvable conundrum without worrying about there being another one on its heels was comparative bliss.)

The meta brain is a funny thing. There’s nothing remotely spoilery in this, but after I read it, I took another look at the puzzle and noticed something that led to something and all of a sudden, my couch is empty.HeadinHome wrote: ↑Tue Mar 01, 2022 7:43 am

Eggcellent puzzle and meta.
Put me in the best mood I've been on a Monday in a long time even though I couldn't solve until Tuesday.
Thanks Cap'n Rick!

The following Muggles can be added to the leaderboard:
Ergcat

Since this meta seems to be playing a little on the difficult side, I'm releasing the Wednesday nudges just after midnight.
Feel free to PM me with your answers or if you need more help.
Good luck!

Challenging but fair.

Off the couch.
I didn't see it at first glance, took a second look this morning, and joined in the hunt, which included some Googling to supplement my cultural ignorance.
I admire the idea and the construction. The title was an extra goodie, the term for which might be connected with the theme.
