Join Peter and Frank as they talk about being good at Arkham Horror or, more specifically, not being bad (aka sucking) at the game - when to take tests, what the consequences of failure are, how to be a better player. The usual jazz!

Tune in for Think on your Feet XLII, in which the play through of The Innsmouth Conspiracy, featuring Subject 5U-21 continues. 

In Think on your Feet episodes, a live play series, 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 21.05 Peter forgets to add a doom to the agenda the first couple of turns. But when he notices it he corrects it immediately. 

Here's the deck: CLICK ME

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XLI, the start of a new campaign, with a new investigator, the newness shiny and, well, new.

Join Frank and special guest Jaya, who kindly steps up so that we can take a look at the new investigators of The Feast of Hemlock Vale Investigator Expansion (for players). We're doing a pre-first look, an initial impressions episode, sharing our enthusiasm and our wonderings about who's coming up. Spoilers, understandably, for FHV. 

NB: there's an audio quirk on this episode - Jaya's mic is a little scratchy, but he's still completely audible.

Join Frank and Peter as they continue their discussion of efficiency and build on it to look at the concept of failing forwards. What is failing forwards and how does it pertain to Arkham? More strikingly, how do reward mechanics influence and direct decks and play patterns?

NB: there's an audio quirk on this episode - Frank's mic has gone doolally and he's somewhat quiet. Apologies; it'll be rectified on the next episode.

Join Frank and Peter as they explore what's meant by 'action economy' in Arkham Horror, or, in other words, what it means to be 'efficient' in play. We talk about efficiency as a concept, how it applies to Arkham and whether it's a useful concept to bear in mind when making decks and playing.
