Join Peter and Frank for another episode in their occasional series, Esoteric Devices, in which we take a single card (or a couple of cards, or three) and explore them in detail. We're shaking up the Esoteric Devices format by inviting patrons to vote for the cards they feel deserve our consideration. Thanks patrons!

Tune in for Think on your Feet XLIV, 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.

Three times (19.05, 34.11, 56.07) Peter takes a 4-action turn, but then the same turn or the next turn he spends an action to play Regurgitation, so it always evens out.  At 47.20 Peter forgets to move The Thing That Follows.
