Drawn To The Flame

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XI! After the surprise Think on your Feet with odd investigators last episode, we're back on track with Lola Hayes versus Return to the Night of the Zealot. 

In Think on your Feet episodes, a live play series of Arkham Horror: The Card Game, I endeavour not to edit much at all. Sometimes I cut a bit of 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. 

Here's the Lola deck: CLICK ME You can scroll through it to see later iterations (will reveal how much xp I get though, so maybe save until you've listened...)

Join Frank for Think on your Feet episode ten! How did we get to ten episodes of Frank struggling at Arkham? Who knows? But this description won't have answers because this is a surprise bonus episode!

Join Peter and Frank as they go toe to toe with the blind idiot god itself, Azathoth... aka Matt Newman, lead developer of Arkham Horror: The Card Game. Which is kind of convenient given this is a podcast all about Arkham Horror: The Card Game! 

Huge thank you to Matt for joining us for a post-The Forgotten Age debrief. We get a chance to talk player cards with Matt, including the seal mechanic and relics, then go through the scenarios of the cycle and delve into some of the knottier questions around TFA. Was it a harder cycle? Was Alejandro really that untrustworthy? Are snakes actually bad? And then, finally, we take a look at The Circle Undone and what's ahead in the game.

Join Peter and Frank for a mailbag episode. Patrons have been sending in their questions, so your hosts settle down with a cup of joe, ready to answer the conundrums you've posed.

Join Frank - and an end of cycle special guest! - for a first look at the player cards of Shattered Aeons, the sixth mythos pack in The Forgotten Age cycle. Will he go all in? Does he really have the best vantage point from which to survey these cards? Isn't kerosene delicious?

Join Peter and Frank as they talk about opening moves. What's the best way to exploit a mulligan? How important is it to play assets turn 1? What do you even need to keep in mind when getting the best start in a scenario? 

We use four example decks in our discussion, which are:

Mark: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/239498

Join Peter and Frank as they talk to a special guest from across the ocean - not Matt Newman, but nearly as good, and certainly as friendly. They talk about Arkham Horror (surprise!), what cooperative players want and announce a really cool new Arkham playing augmentation you definitely want to take a look at. Thanks for joining us, Steven!

Join Frank for the ninth Think on your Feet, in which Calvin Wright – or his successor – continues investigations into the madness and mystery surrounding the King in Yellow.

In Think on your Feet episodes, a live play series of Arkham Horror: The Card Game, I endeavour not to edit much at all. Sometimes I cut a bit of 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. In light of the Patreon support and because I want to enhance listening to Drawn to the Flame, I've added some atmospheric details too. Hopefully they elevate the experience. Toot toot!

Note: there was a microphonic problem in the latter stages of this episode, and I've spent a decent two hours trying to remove it, but I haven't quite succeeded. Think of it as atmospherics rather than just incompetence, and I hope it doesn't spoil your listening experience!

Here's the deck before Black Stars Rise: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/238566.  

Here's the deck before Dim Carcosa: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/238606. 

During the edit I spotted a misplay I made while playing. At 1hr11 minutes, I believe I played True Survivor even though I had Whispers in Your Head (Doubt) in my hand. Believe me, it didn't matter!...

Join Peter and Frank as they talk about Carolyn Fern. This isn't quite a Carolyn Fern investigator-specific episode so much as a 'one deck we made together for Carolyn'-specific episode. We talk about her deckbuilding rules, what sorts of ramifications they have and the challenges they pose for playing the game. 

Here's the deck we built together: https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/7593/mind-over-madness-1.0
