Drawn To The Flame episodes

April 30 Episode 374: Think on your Feet LII
Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode. The patrons have voted, so we're embarking on " versus Brethren of Ash"
In Think on your Feet episodes, I endeavour not to edit much at all. Sometimes I cut some shuffling sounds or abbreviate some of my longer pauses (a chap's got to think!), but otherwise, it's uncut, unaltered and meant to feel like you're with me at the table. There may be mistakes and misplays, but hopefully some successes too.
My deck: first scenario | second scenario
0.00 preamble
2.05 first scenario intro
4.35 opening hand
5.05 gameplay begins
33.10 first scenario analysis
33.55 second scenario intro
36.55 what's the map like?
41.03 opening hand
41.26 gameplay begins
1.27.15 I forget to take a horror from a pursuing Whippoorwill but a minute later I remember it.
During the recording, I realise I may have made a rather major mess-up this playthrough, somehow internalising that Izzie's ability is once per test rather than once per round. I do spot this error at 1.01.25... and during the edit I've checked and I never in fact make the error! Phewee! Just shows how things can slip by. So even though I am not sure whether I used her ability multiple times per phase, it turns out... I didn't.

April 16 Episode 373: Think on your Feet LI
Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode. After our last episode, in which Frank tried out two of the premade decks, here Frank tries another one (or two, or three).
In Think on your Feet episodes, I endeavour not to edit much at all. Sometimes I cut some shuffling sounds or abbreviate some of my longer pauses (a chap's got to think!), but otherwise, it's uncut, unaltered and meant to feel like you're with me at the table. There may be mistakes and misplays, but hopefully some successes too.
0.00 preamble
3.57 who are we playing?
6.15 class overview
9.13 final setup
10.47 opening hand
12.05 gameplay begins - or at least scheming
49.50 taking a breath, resetting, class overview
54.05 gander in the rulebook
55.17 opening hand
1.09.45 resetting, class overview
1.13.37 opening hand
At 31.23: I say skulls are -2 on a 5 v 2 test. I'm wrong, skulls are -3s by this point in the scenario. Luckily, that doesn't matter! I spot it at 36.05 or so.
At 1.17.13: I miscount my handsize due to the assistant, but I spot it shortly afterwards.
Throughout: I keep calling Servant of Flame Servant of the Flame. Maybe it's because I'm so used to Drawn to the Flame rather than Drawn to Flame? Anyway, I spot it, apologise for it, and continue to do it pretty much indiscriminately throughout. Sorry!
At 1.26.00 or so: I kill two experiments and forget to be horrified by them, but I spot this and correct it at 1.32.40.

April 02 Episode 372: Think on your Feet L
Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode - this time, it's tearing into the new 'chapter two' core set for Arkham Horror The Card Game The Living Card Game.
In Think on your Feet episodes, I endeavour not to edit much at all. Sometimes I cut some shuffling sounds or abbreviate some of my longer pauses (a chap's got to think!), but otherwise, it's uncut, unaltered and meant to feel like you're with me at the table. There may be mistakes and misplays, but hopefully some successes too.
At 29.30 I get confused - I'd missed a damage from fire on the mutant from the previous turn, so it should've died at this point (and me with it).

March 27 Episode 371: Visions of Futures Past XXX
Join Frank and Peter as we preview half a dozen cards as part of the Survivor investigator deck preview season. We recorded this episode before we knew any of the other cards, so these are our time-capsule takes shorn of the context of the other previews. Thank you to FFG for sending us the cards to preview.

Join Frank for another instalment of Wondrous Lands, a live play series of Earthborne Rangers. This is the first campaign, Lure of the Valley, solo.

You can view the map here, the campaign log here and my deck here.

Timestamps:
0.00 intro
2.58 moments on the path / spoilers / couple of small corrections / the elder's book of uncommon wisdom
7.05 a question to the listener
7.39 setup and gameplay begins
27.30 what are aspirations?
37 or so: I fail the Remember test (0 vs 1) and still draw a card, which is wrong - I don't get to draw if I don't pass. It doesn't ruin the day, but definitely would've warped the final parts of it!
50.00 let's go travelling!
1.03.00 I have no clue why I kept in my coughing on the recording - but I can't edit it out without losing explaining what I'm doing. Sorry about that!
1.11.02 she's *not* an atrox. Derp! It's kind of obvious about three seconds later...

January 29 Episode 366: Are You Going to (Trish) Scarborough Fair?
Join Frank and Peter as they take a moment to look at another (number four) of the new investigators from the chapter two core set and consider what impact that might have on the design as a whole and on specific classes.
Little erratum note: 14mins in, Peter talks about how Daniela might help with the Black Chamber Operative, and talks about chapter 1 Daniela's ability rather than chapter 2. It's not a big boo-boo, but we wanted to acknowledge it!
