Episode 367: Wondrous Lands II

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 07:30:00 +0000

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. As this is recorded live, slips and errors are sure to creep in, so please extend me your understanding - I hope you enjoy the journey! If you want more of an explainer of the game, check out the first Wondrous Lands episode, where I offer more of a rules explainer.

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

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...

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!

Join Frank for something a little bit different: a live play series of Earthborne Rangers. I'm starting simple: Lure of the Valley, solo, and sharing my experience with the game. As this is recorded live, slips and errors are sure to creep in, so please extend me your understanding - I hope you enjoy the journey! And as this is my first time sharing EBR live, there's a bit more rules explaining than future episodes will contain. As ever, your feedback is welcome!

Episode 358: Think on your Feet XLIX

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 07:30:00 +0000

Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode - this time, it's George Barnaby vs Film Fatale, in a sort-of facecheck encounter. Here's my deck: click me

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.

Timestamps:

4.20 setup

Misplay: at 47.05 I commit a Last Chance into a Brute Force attack, though, of course, Last Chance must be the only skill committed to a test. I sort of treat Brute Force like an event, clearly! Luckily it doesn't matter for the draw, though it does let me draw 2 on an action where I shouldn't be able to... whoops!
At 1h19, I pass a test with a double commit and forget about Andre. My bad!

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

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.

Episode 328: Think on your Feet XLVII

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 08:00:00 +0100

At 44.05 Peter takes a 4-action turn, forgetting he spent an action on the blue key. Somewhere between 44 & 49 minutes, Peter draws a reality acid and forgets to flip Ravenous. Same at 57.

6.27 ancestral knowledge and opening hand

19.35 I think I misplay: I commit The Eye of Truth from under Amanda to Alienation and pass, which I believe means TEOT should've attached to Alienation and placed both cards in the victory display...
34.00 I seem to become obsessed with the word 'anyhoo'??
51.30 I get in a bit of a tangle but I sort it out.
58.55 I add a resource on the Moonbase Laboratory even though I've carefully made sure not to be there...
1.18.00 My grasp of 'as if' is probably shaky at best, but I'm hoping I'm playing this right and not completely wrecking the scenario...
1.31.00 I miscount actions and shortchange myself one.
1.35.50 Major derp: I could've used the Pallid Mask to move! To... do something at the end! I catch that the Cassilda is once per turn but then forget the Pallid Mask - and I use the Pendant illegally... but I could've used the Pallid Mask so it works out nearly the same?

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXXIII, in which Amanda Sharpe gets =SYSTEM ERROR= !!INVESTIGATOR CANNOT BE FOUND!!

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 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 intro | 3.15 prologue | 5.50 scenario intro | 13.45 opening hand | 15.45 gameplay starts | 31.00 I forget to read act 2a, just reading agenda 2a. Sorry! | 1.17.00 I do end of round before upkeep. It doesn't make a difference, but I know that's not the right order... | 1.27.30 I say I think it's ok to look at the scan deck - but it's not, according to clarifications from the designer. I learn something new every day!

Here's my starting deck: CLICK ME

Join Frank and a special guest for a first peek at Into the Maelstrom, the sixth and final mythos pack in The Innsmouth Conspiracy cycle. Will bless and curse see their ultimate pay-offs? Just who is this coast guard captain?

Thu, 08 Apr 2021 08:00:00 +0100

Join Frank and a special guest for a first peek at The Lair of Dagon... that does not sound promising, does it?

We're aware that some listeners have received Into the Maelstrom instead of The Lair of Dagon. We weren't quite sure how best to go ahead first-looking, so we've just dove in and hope you can listen to this when you have your pack.

Some things we noticed in the edit: Peter's Trapezohedron testing needs some work - the doubling of testing to play a card... and then taking that cards actual test is hard to track while also recording. So he missed two tests but caught one so finished having only given himself one freebie.

Episode 176: Think on your Feet XXVI

Thu, 20 Aug 2020 08:00:00 +0100

Join Frank & Peter for Think on your Feet XXVI, in which they continue exploring the horrors and wonders of The Dream-Eaters.

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 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 18 minutes I take a four-action turn. WTF! At 34.30 and 51.27 I fluff how Practice Makes Perfect works, depriving myself of the card each time. +1 action, -2 cards... I think it works out ok. At 57.50 I get lost on how zero is even and not positive. Sorry! At 1.15.16, Peter takes a trapezohedron test but doesn't take the actual test that follows the trapezohedron test, if you follow. Likewise at 1.34.05 he forgets to take an Unnameable test. As he was 5 up for each test, it's pretty trivial in the scheme of things!

Episode 172: Dreaming with Azathoth

Thu, 02 Jul 2020 08:00:00 +0100

We're delighted to sit down (remotely) with Matt Newman, aka the Blind Idiot God, aka the lead developer of Arkham Horror to talk all things The Dream-Eaters (and a little bit of The Innsmouth Conspiracy). The first part of the episode, up to 1hr4mins we talk about the player cards and general goals of The Dream-Eaters, before moving into discussing the scenarios. Think of this as a director's commentary for the cycle. Thanks for taking the time to talk to us and the listeners of the cast, Matt!
At 1hr30mins or so you can pick up some audio distortion (a fan, I think) on one of the lines. I've tried to remove it, but it does stop by itself after about 10 minutes. Sorry about that!

Episode 169: Think on your Feet XXIV

Thu, 28 May 2020 08:00:00 +0100

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXIV, in which, in this between-series break, he takes on a special scenario with a couple of different decks.

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 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 35 minutes, I forget that enemies exhaust after they attack in the enemy phase, adding 2 doom when I should have added... ZERO! So quite punishing for me there. More generally I think my line of play at 30 minutes was wrong. I should've taken 2 resources and played Meat Cleaver, setting me up for tackling cultists more efficiently.

Episode 167: Three Healthers

Thu, 14 May 2020 08:00:00 +0100

Join Peter and Frank as they discuss enemies with three (and sometimes five) health. How do we handle these creatures? Why should they even be worth thinking about? What do the factions each have to deal with them?

Episode 164: Think on your Feet XXIII

Thu, 23 Apr 2020 08:00:00 +0100

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXIII, in which Norman Withers returns to Arkham only to find reality disintegrating before his very eyes! This is the last instalment of his adventure in The Circle Undone.

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 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 1hr13, I get the Cosmos rules pretty mixed up; I misread Cosmic Gate and place it in the wrong place, and then don't move to it. Derp. By 1hr16, I work out my mistake! Then waaay later on, around the 2hr-something mark, I take four actions instead of three. Dammit! I was doing so well. I don't think it invalidates the playthrough, but it's a shame!

Fri, 17 Apr 2020 08:00:00 +0100

Join Frank for a first look at the player cards of Weaver of the Cosmos, the sixth mythos pack of The Dream-Eaters cycle for Arkham Horror.

Episode 162: Live, Sort Of...

Mon, 13 Apr 2020 10:12:00 +0100

Join Frank and Peter for a different kind of episode: this episode was recorded in front of a digitally live audience of patrons of the cast. In it, your hosts talk about quarantine gaming, deckbuilding for Dexter and announce two new cards from the investigator starter decks. We've left pauses, ums, ahs and interaction with the audience in the cast, so it's meant to be a rough and ready affair. Enjoy!

Join Peter and Frank as they take a look at the newly announced investigator starter decks: Nathaniel Cho, Harvey Walters, Winifred Habbamock, Jacqueline Fine (!!) and Stella Clark. What do we make of the product? How will it work? How many new cards will we see? We select a few cards from each pack to take a look at what the product is and what impact it'll have on Arkham Horror and share our first reactions to these new decks.

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 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.

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XX, in which Norman Withers continues his ventures against witches and the Silver Twilight Lodge in The Circle Undone.

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 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 1hr 4minutes, I give myself two resources in upkeep (I jump from 6 to 8). I don't believe it has any impact on the rest of the scenario, but still... cheatz! And then I do it again right near the end (3 to 5!). What is going on? I'll tell you what: I'm busy chatting about what card's on the top of Norman's deck and not noticing giving myself resources on auto-pilot. Luckily, on neither occasion does it have an impact on what I could or couldn't play. But yeah!

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 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.

Edit: I'd written about how I made a misplay at 10 mins in here, but a canny listener has written in to tell me I'd not! So... consider the misplay struck from the record.

She was a Silver Twilight Lodge insider, but what she discovered in the inner reaches of the Lodge terrified her, and now she's out to stop them causing any more harm: Diana Stanley. Weak-willed but incredibly robust, Diana takes the fight back to the Mythos with her proclivity for cancellation.

Episode 137: Think on your Feet XVIII

Thu, 19 Sep 2019 08:00:00 +0100

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XVIII, in which Diana Stanley heads up to Sentinel Hill to stop a ritual... and maybe travels even further.

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 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 50 minutes onwards, there's some sort of mic error. I've had it before, where it adds clicks and crackles to the line. I try to keep an eye on the audio track to reset or otherwise tweak the mic if I see it happening, but this time around, I didn't spot it. I'm really sorry; it sounds ghastly. After a chunk of time trying to fix it, I've edited out as many crackles as I can, but I can't do more. Sorry!

Episode 135: Think on your Feet XVII

Thu, 05 Sep 2019 08:00:00 +0100

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XVI, in which Diana, now in the village of Dunwich, investigates curious disappearances in the region and contends with an incomprehensible foe.

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 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.

Early in this scenario I get it in my head that Deny Existence is called Ward of Protection. I'm really sorry about that; it's confusing to listen to when I can't work out which is which. They are both good cancellation cards, ok?! But when you hear me talking about cancelling damage or what not, it's Deny Existence. Sorry!

Episode 126: Think on your Feet XV

Thu, 04 Jul 2019 08:00:00 +0100

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XV, in which we start a new campaign! That's right, after Finn's escapades in the jungle, we're back in the sleepy town of Arkham, and Diana Stanley's former mentor from Miskatonic University, a man called Henry Armitage, has asked her to look for two of his colleagues. We've returned to the Dunwich Legacy!

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.

Episode 123: Rita Young

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 08:00:00 +0100

Join Peter and Frank for another investigator-specific episode, this time about everyone's favourite athlete, Rita Young. In this episode, we talk about Rita's strengths and weaknesses, her speed and prowess, as well as expanding the discussion into what evasion's good for. We reference Motux's Strange Solution series on evasion, which begins here: https://strangesolution.wordpress.com/2018/03/05/flight-over-fight-part-one-misfire-the-problems-with-combat-in-solo/

Meanwhile, a major apology needs to be issued with this episode too: of all the 4-agility investigators, one gets mentioned zero times, and that is Skids O'Toole. It's led to a lot of conversations behind the scenes as Peter and Frank talk about the ex-con's place in the game and why he was forgotten. So watch this space...

Join Frank and Peter for a short first thoughts after the UK Games Expo 2019, at which we did a day of demoing Arkham Horror, ran a double Guardians of the Abyss session and organised a How Low Can You Go (thanks Scott!) challenge run of Depths of Yoth. We reflect on what went well and how we can improve. Returning to usual Arkham-related content soon!

We used Frank's back-up mic to record this episode, so the sound quality is a little lower.

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.

Some errors I spotted in the edit: I think I took 6 actions at about 18 minutes. Not that they did me much good, but still! I think that was it, except... maybe... well, no spoilers, listen to the last scenario! Would love to know what you think of it!

Your hosts run through the cards and explore the impact they've had on the game.

Whether it's their fear of how the community perceives them or their forgetfulness of how the community perceives them or their desperate need for the community to perceive them, weaknesses are at the heart of Arkham Horror: The Card Game, and your hosts are keen to plumb their depths!

Episode 110: Think on your Feet XIII

Thu, 28 Mar 2019 07:00:00 +0000

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XIII, in which Finn Edwards is back in Arkham, never to head to the jungle again!

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.

Some errors I spotted in the edit: I think I failed to let Shadowed surge at 16 minutes, so I missed an encounter card. Doh! I also can't count, and missed an action (I believe) at around 30 minutes - so a little bit of shortchanging myself there. At 1 hour almost on the dot, I add a weakness to my threat area rather than shuffling it into my deck. Whoops! At 1hr10 I'm definitely losing it: I draw Caught Red-Handed and only move 1 enemy? What's got into me? Holy hell! at 1hr11 I forget to draw an encounter card too! I was clearly losing it at that point... !!

But then at 56 minutes I used torches twice in a bit of a shonky way, so a bit of a leg up there. Whoops! And then at 1hr14 I skipped upkeep! Like a loon! Doh!

Episode 100: Two Years of Drawn to the Flame

Thu, 31 Jan 2019 08:00:00 +0000

It's been two years of Drawn to the Flame. Holy smokes! And we've made one hundred episodes in that time. Smoly hokes! So sit back, relax and enjoy as Frank and Peter have a beer, answer some questions and reflect on what next for the podcast... We thought about doing a glamorous production for you, dear listener, but settled on just giving a bit more of ourselves instead, drawing back the curtain on what makes us tick. Enjoy, and thank you for listening!

With The Circle Undone right around the corner, Peter and Frank are setting off to explore further lore, this time all about Arkham's past, the Hermetic Order of the Silver Twilight, tarot cards and witchcraft. We've been reading some Lovecraft stories and doing some research, and we're here to share our findings with you.

It's another Visions of Futures Past episode, which means Peter and Frank have another card from Fantasy Flight Games to share with the community. Thank you so much to FFG for sending us Eldritch Inspiration - really hope you like this card, listeners!

Then keep listening as your hosts look at the five announced investigators for The Circle Undone and talk about what they're looking forward to about each of them, as well as how they feel they might play. At the time of recording, we didn't yet have confirmation of The Circle Undone's sixth investigator. So.... sorry! No him/her in this episode!

Episode 95: Think on your Feet XI

Thu, 03 Jan 2019 08:00:00 +0000

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...)

Episode 93: Did You Think Azathoth Had Forgotten You?

Thu, 13 Dec 2018 08:00:00 +0000

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 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:

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!

Episode 87: Think on your Feet IX

Thu, 25 Oct 2018 08:00:00 +0100

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

The depths of Yoth! The depths of Yoth! Join Frank for a first look at the player cards of the fifth mythos pack in The Forgotten Age cycle. His mind is well and truly fed!

Howler warning: I called "I've got a plan" "I've had worse" at about 7minutes. What a dummy! I've definitely not had worse than that!

This time, it's an Ashcan Pete deck: https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/5825/pete-duke-and-yaotl-desperate-synergy-3.0

Episode 83: Visions of Futures Past IV

Join Peter and Frank for the fourth of Drawn to the Flame's Visions of Futures Past, where we announce a forthcoming player card to the community. We're delighted FFG have asked us to do this again, after Storm of Spirits, Time Warp & Custom Ammunition, and really hugely excited to share this card with everyone. So dive in for a new card that's coming up in The Depths of Yoth!

But that's not all: we're also announcing the results of our competition, where we asked listeners to pair an investigator with a scenario in a thematic way. The entries were all excellent and deeply enjoyable, so tune in as we go through some favourites, and award a copy of Carnevale of Horrors, a live play episode and player tokens and board from Buy the Same Token!

Episode 82: Think on your Feet VIII

Thu, 20 Sep 2018 08:00:00 +0100

Join Frank for the eighth 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!

This is the first episode recorded with my new microphone. I hope the sound is crisper and clearer, but I welcome any feedback - not of an audio kind...! If you're not sure about any of my lines of play or otherwise confused, ask away.

Here's the deck before A Phantom of Truth: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/214987.

Here's the deck before The Pallid Mask: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/215018.

During the edit I spotted a misplay I made while playing. At 1hr17 minutes, I believe I spawned a docent at 'any unrevealed location' rather than the nearest unrevealed... I'm not 100% sure on that though.

Episode 81: Frank's First Look at The City of Archives

Thu, 13 Sep 2018 22:10:00 +0100

Will Frank be on his own, a sacrifice to the elder gods, as he tries to fathom the player cards from The Forgotten Age's fourth mythos pack, The City of Archives? Or perhaps this will be his pay day, as he may just have a special guest on the line...

Of note: we talked a smidge about Pay Day + Fence as a post-final action play, and playing events with On Your Own with zero resources. We're not sure if we got the rules right on either and as soon as we know, we'll let you know... STOP PRESS: Matt tells us we got it right on both! Phew.

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.

Here's the deck before Echoes of the Past: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/203093.

Here's the deck before The Unspeakable Oath: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/203111.

During the edit I spotted a misplay I made while playing. At 26 minutes, I believe I take a 4 action turn. Little good it did me anyway!

Thu, 19 Jul 2018 21:28:00 +0100

Join Frank - and special guest! - for a first look at the new player cards of The Boundary Beyond, the second mythos pack in The Forgotten Age cycle. We're heading back to Mexico and I for one can't wait to take the initiative and cuddle a snake again! Hooray for snakes! Hope you're well prepared, totally a high roller and never cornered in this new scenario...

Episode 73: Think on your Feet VI

Mon, 16 Jul 2018 12:15:00 +0100

Join Frank for the sixth Think on your Feet, in which Calvin Wright finds himself in the sleepy town of Arkham, taking a trip to the Ward Theatre for the premiere of The King in Yellow. I must say, it sounds delightful!

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 are mistakes and misplays a-plenty, but hopefully some successes too. But in this episode, in light of the Patreon support and because I want to take Drawn to the Flame to the next level, I've added some atmospheric details too. Hopefully they elevate the listening experience.

Here's the deck I started with: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/181479.

Here's the deck before The Last King: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/181498.

During the edit I spotted a couple of misplays I made while playing. At about 39 minutes I put a damage on 'the fire axe'. I meant fine clothes! My mind was addled by all the damage! And then another fine clothes bloop: when I'm hit by corrosion at 1hr14 or so, somehow I behave as though it's 2 cost rather than 1. Which is... weird. No wait, even weirder - I've convinced myself the gallery is 2 rather than 1 shroud, which is incredibly odd! So the fine clothes discard was correct. And at 1hr25 I seem to have forgotten how Dianne works, and I suggest I'd be cheating to move her to the bystander with the fewest clues, which is funny, since that's exactly what she *should* do! Aaaand at 1hr33 I forget to draw an encounter card... hypergah!

Episode 72: Jim Culver

He's a dab hand on the trumpet and his music has the power to wake the dead. In the face of unspeakable creeping doom, he's unfazed, even cool. He's a mystic with the power to move you... ladies and gentleman, Mr Jim Culver! Join Peter and Frank for another investigator-specific episode in which they talk about the second mystic we received in the game, the Dunwich Legacy's very own Jim Culver. Jim has a trumpet and loves skulls, but is there more to this musician, particularly in light of the seal mechanic and the expanded cardpool? Let's find out!

Join Frank and Peter as they talk about playing Arkham Horror solo... and not that two-handed malarkey we've been hearing rumours of, but the true solo, real solo, all by myself solo that's all the rage these days. Which investigators are good by themselves? What pitfalls might you want to avoid? Why am I still talking to myself?

Episode 69: Lore of the Jungle

Tue, 26 Jun 2018 10:55:00 +0100

Most people have had a chance to stray into the wilds of southern Mexico, or are in the final stages of planning an expedition this very minute. Either way, you'll probably want to gen up on what's ahead... So join Peter and Frank as they talk about what they've been reading in anticipation of The Forgotten Age, including Lovecraft's jungle adventure stories, some jungle textbooks and a field guide to swinging on vines and creepers. In the jungle.

There's not too much discussion of the scenarios themselves, but if you've not yet cracked open your deluxe box, maybe do that first, just in case! (And play the scenarios...)

The Forgotten Age deluxe expansion is still out, so join Peter and Frank as they talk about their first impressions of the scenarios, including: how to get lost in the jungle; what snakes lurk in the jungle; is it nice in the jungle; and who's that Alejandro fella?

Spoilers for the first two scenarios abound, and towards the end of the episode Peter and Frank look ahead to what's been announced about the campaign so far, too, so watch out for that.

The Forgotten Age deluxe expansion is out, and with it came a slew of new rules and some new, rather terrifying basic weaknesses. Join Peter and Frank as they look at the challenges these new cards and rules might pose, the possible interactions they might provoke, and how they might be used in later scenarios.

Spoilers for the new rules and weaknesses incoming, as well as some vague Forgotten Age chatter!

Episode 65: AGE

Mon, 14 May 2018 10:16:00 +0100

Join Peter and Frank for a FIRST LOOK at the player cards - especially the Guardian player cards - of The Forgotten Age deluxe expansion. We dive in with a brief overview of the new Guardian investigator, and then look at what new tactics these macho men (and women) can pack. Spoilers, naturally, for The Forgotten Age.

UPDATE: we made a rules error in our Seeker episode: Ursula's reaction ability, because it creates a 'full' action, does also trigger attacks of opportunity should she move into a location with an enemy. Frank will add the full wording from Matt Newman to Arkhamdb soon, but in the meantime, please note we got it slightly wrong 3 episodes ago.

Episode 60: Think on your Feet V

Thu, 03 May 2018 08:38:00 +0100

Join Frank for the fifth Think on your Feet, in which Sefina Rousseau finds herself at the base of Sentinel Hill, staring up at the site of the evils of Dunwich. Can she make it to the peak in time to stop Seth Bishop's ritual? Will her Dunwich endeavours be for naught?

In the Think on your Feet series, 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 are mistakes and misplays a-plenty, but hopefully some successes too. But in this episode, in light of the Patreon support and because I want to take Drawn to the Flame to the next level, I've added some atmospheric details too. Hopefully they elevate the listening experience.

Here's the deck before Where Doom Awaits: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/132444.

**SPOILERS**:
Here's the deck before Lost in Time and Space: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/132476.

Scenario 7 begins at 4 minutes. Scenario 8 begins at 40 minutes and 30 seconds.

During the edit I spotted a couple of misplays I made while playing. After I advanced to agenda 3 in LiTaS I forgot to draw an encounter card - I was too excited! - but that was countered by playing Narrow Escape a few minutes later. I used it to avoid an attack of opportunity from one enemy who in fact doesn't make attacks of opportunity! Whoops! So I could have saved myself a hit from the other enemy engaged with me.... more fool me!

We're absolutely delighted to have Matt on the podcast once again, and this time we're talking about The Path to Carcosa, including the player cards and how the factions have developed this cycle, designer notes on the eight scenarios of the campaign, and then, a brief look at The Forgotten Age and what we might expect from central American adventures.

Thanks again to Matt and FFG - it's an absolute pleasure to have Matt join us and be so generous with his time!

Join Peter and Frank as they start a new occasional series (we hope!) for Drawn to the Flame: Inquiring Mind. In it, they talk to friend of the show and all-round good guy Benjamin, who's been trying investigators he's never tried before. The purpose of this series is to explore investigators not exactly comprehensively, but in terms of trying them for the first time: why hadn't Ben tried them before? What did he want to get out of the experience? And how did it go? In this episode: everyone's favourite urchin!

Episode 55: Think on your Feet IV

Sun, 01 Apr 2018 08:00:00 +0100

Join Frank for the fourth Think on your Feet, in which Sefina Rousseau arrives in Dunwich village to find the place in a sorry state of perturbation. The villagers are keeping secrets and fell beasts roam the countryside...

In the Think on your Feet series, 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!), and I normally aim to pare out the bus sounds (buses? in Dunwich village??) but otherwise, it's uncut, unaltered and meant to feel like you're with me at the table. There are mistakes and misplays a-plenty, but hopefully some successes too.

Here's the deck before Blood on the Altar: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/131203.
Here's the deck before Undimensioned and Unseen: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/131231.

Scenario 5 begins at 4 minutes on the nose. Scenario 6 begins at 55 minutes.

There's a tiny misplay at 48 minutes: the whippoorwills hunt to Village Commons... except they can't, because it's not connected to where they were. It doesn't particularly affect the outcome of the scenario but it might have made things marginally easier for me... it's hard to say. But yes, in the fug of Blood on the Altar, I forgot some of the location connections! I also stopped mentioning what's in my hand quite as often... in fact, I don't think I do so *at all*. Let me know if it's too tricky to follow as that's probably pretty hard to track! Oh and at 1hr47 I forget about the -1 Willpower in the Whateley Ruins, which means I shouldn't have lost Frozen in Fear. Fortunately, I had enough actions to spare the following turn anyway! PHEW.

Episode 53: Daisy Walker

Thu, 15 Mar 2018 07:00:00 +0000

The world of Arkham Horror: The Card game is more than simply smashing shoggoths in the face. Hidden in dark corners of the land, in musty libraries and secluded meeting halls are sects and secrets, esoterica to be rustled up by only the most determined of investigators. Where pages are to be thumbed and rites studied, there's no one better than Miskatonic's very own librarian, Daisy Walker. Join Peter and Frank in this episode as they discuss Daisy's strengths, weaknesses and playstyles in another investigator-specific episode.

Fantasy Flight Games has very kindly sent us the card to announce to you, our dear listeners, and we are absolutely bursting with excitement about this amazing, *weird* card. Tune in to listen to our reactions to it! Thanks again to FFG for being magnificent!

This episode also contains a second section, in which Frank and Peter discuss Carcosa so far. The two sections are clearly separated. In the second, we talk about what's happened, what we feel doubt and conviction are doing, and where it all might end. What are patrons? Where is Carcosa? Who you callin' dim?

Join Peter and Frank for another Esoteric Devices episode, their occasional series which takes individual cards and explores how they disintegrate what we expect from Arkham Horror: The Card Game. In the first episode, it was Adaptable and Delve Too Deep under the microscope. This time it's a look at the 'mini quest' mechanic that's built into Strange Solution and Archaic Glyphs. How do they work and what do they mean for what we understand of the game?

ALSO: Drawn to the Flame's first event is happening! Listen to the end of the episode to hear how you can get involved.

Listen to the mad echoes as Frank speaks to you trapped in the Labyrinth of Drills; hear how his voice cracks as battery ebbs from his device; marvel at the shoddily edited episode of wonder, brought to you from a makeshift studio, after his computer went completely kaputnik....

Join Frank for the third Think on your Feet, in which Sefina Rousseau continues to carry out tasks set her by Dr Henry Armitage. Will she find the dread Necronomicon? Just what are these delays on the train line to Dunwich??

In the Think on your Feet series, I endeavour not to edit much at all. Sometimes I cut a bit of shuffling sounds or abbreviate some of my longer pauses (a boy's got to think!), and I normally aim to pare out the bus sounds (buses? in the middle of a museum??) but otherwise, it's uncut, unaltered and meant to feel like you're with me at the table.

Episode 48: Year One

Fri, 09 Feb 2018 08:00:00 +0000

Just a measly twelve months ago, Frank and Peter settled down to record their thoughts about weapons and allies in Arkham Horror: The Card Game. At that time, the core set and the Dunwich Legacy deluxe were the only cards out in the wild, and your two hosts of Drawn to the Flame were just learning the ropes. A year's passed! What a difference a year makes. Tune in for an end-of-term episode when Frank reflects on Arkham highlights over the year and Peter loses himself to his favourite topic: flavour text.

Episode 46: Sefina Rousseau

Thu, 25 Jan 2018 08:33:00 +0000

She is a fantastic painter, but found that her talents could be turned to more lucrative, less strictly legal art forms. In the course of her work, she discovered an entire new world, a place inside one of her paintings, and her experiences there have given her deep wells of resources and countless arcane insights. Now she arrives in Arkham, prepared for whatever events she may encounter there. This episode, join Peter and Frank for another investigator-focused episode all about Sefina Rousseau, the painter.

Episode 45: Sketching Preposterously (aka Thinking about Card Draw)

Thu, 18 Jan 2018 07:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Peter and Frank look at card draw. Why is card draw a good thing - and is it an unqualifiedly good thing in a game where the safety of one's own deck is to be questioned? Why is card draw a cornerstone of card games, and how does that relate to Arkham Horror? How do the five factions draw cards, and does it add flavour to the character of the factions? This episode isn't quite a guide, but it's not so much a discussion as a survey, either. We hope you like it!

Episode 44: Think on your Feet II

Thu, 11 Jan 2018 07:00:00 +0000

Join Frank for the second Think on your Feet. After suggestions from listeners and a poll on Facebook, Sefina Rousseau has been chosen to take on the challenges of the Dunwich Legacy.

As with Think on your Feet I, I've dived straight in and got to the meat of playing. Unlike Think on your Feet I, Sefina is a far more tricksy investigator to pilot than Roland, so there are certainly some pauses and challenges with flow and best lines. As before, it's meant to sound real - so you might pick up the sound of traffic, or tokens being shifted, or droplets of sweat dripping from my brow as I fret...

Here's the level 0 version of the deck: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/88127. There are some odd choices there; I talk about (most of) them in the episode.

Here's the deck after scenario 1: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/100374.

Scenario 1 begins at 3 minutes. Scenario 2 begins at almost exactly 50 minutes. Thank you to everyone who wrote in saying the first live play was enjoyable, or encouraging me to do more. It's been very touching and I'm glad to share these episodes with you!

Episode 43: Spending Experience

Thu, 04 Jan 2018 07:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Peter and Frank look into spending experience. They think about upgrading strategies, ways of approaching experience, looking at team composition and wrestle with a good answer for what's best to cut. They try to fill the episode with good examples, too, for which you can be the judge...

Episode 42: All Purple All The Time

Wed, 27 Dec 2017 10:34:00 +0000

In this episode, Peter and Frank participate in the #AllPurpleAllTheTime challenge, a gauntlet tossed at our feet by the good fellows of Arkham Chronicle. We're joined by the Mythos Busters and the team is rounded out by The Whisperer in Darkness, aka the Man from Leng, and it's a pretty simple mission: we each have to build a deck for a mystic investigator, and they'll make up an all purple investigative team!

We drew... Akachi Onyele, so tune in as we discuss her strengths and weaknesses and build a deck for her. To see our final deck, take a look here: https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/4092/allpurpleallthetime-akachi-onyele-1.0.

Episode 41: Think on your Feet I

Thu, 21 Dec 2017 07:00:00 +0000

Join Frank for a new type of Drawn to the Flame episode: Think on your Feet, a live play series. In this episode, very much the pilot, he takes a Roland deck through a little campaign called... The Night of the Zealot. Will the zealot get enough sleep? What happens when morning breaks?

This is a new style of episode for Drawn to the Flame, and we'd be delighted to hear what you think of it. We wanted to dive straight in, so there isn't much introduction and Frank cracks on. We wanted it to sound real - as it is - so there's been minimal editing, mainly just shortening up long pauses and removing the sounds of traffic from outside. You can hear the token bag being shaken and cards being shuffled, and that's all intentional. It's a live play-through!

Frank chose a good stuff Roland deck he'd cooked up - no frills, no tricks - to try out for this style of episode. Here's the list: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/93235 You can click through that list to the future iterations, but maybe do that when you hear the musical cue.

What else? Time stamps: scenario 1 begins at 1 minute; scenario 2 begins at 25 minutes; scenario 3 begins at 52 minutes. ENJOY! Merry Christmas! Oh and if you like this sort of episode and have read this far... tell Frank whom he should play as next!

Episode 40: Frank's First Look at A Phantom of Truth

Thu, 14 Dec 2017 17:38:00 +0000

Join Frank for another first look, this time at the player cards of A Phantom of Truth, the third mythos pack in the Path to Carcosa cycle. There is lots of oohing and ahhing, and some personal details from your boy Frank... but more importantly: what terror cards are out there? What are relics? And is salt on a slug really a cheap shot?

The card discussion itself starts almost exactly at 3 minutes.

Episode 39: Minh Thi Phan

Thu, 07 Dec 2017 08:00:00 +0000

She trained as a secretary and then worked as a personal assistant - and she is exceptional at helping others. She's skilful and a born survivor, able to live on her wits. And her analytical mind is obsessed with decoding the secrets of a very dangerous play: The King in Yellow. That's right, this episode is all about Arkham Horror's newest seeker, the secretary Minh Thi Phan. Join Peter and Frank as they discuss her potencies and deficiencies.

At twenty minutes or so, Frank talks about not being able to investigate if there are no clues around. Of course what he means is: you can still investigate, but you won't get a clue for investigating, which is a shame if you're using an investigation as the test to add six icons to to clear The King in Yellow.

After a theatre of the dead, a manic dinner party, a race through the Historical Society of Arkham and now a visit to a mental institution, this campaign has been filled with wonders and terrors. Peter and Frank talk about the story so far, some recent play experiences, and ponder what might be in store for the rest of the campaign.

You're a pro-slayer. You can find clues for days. Spells? You know em! And yet, every so often, you find yourself tapping out because you may be a beast at Arkham Horror, but the encounter deck has your number. Join Peter and Frank in this episode of Drawn to the Flame as they look at the encounter deck, with a particular eye on the keywords of cards most commonly found in that deck. What does surge do? How do you retaliate? And what on earth is peril (don't ask your friends)? All this and more...

Thu, 19 Oct 2017 08:30:00 +0100

Hello listener! Perhaps you've never heard of Arkham Horror The Card Game, or maybe you're new even to the idea of an LCG (Living Card Game). If so, this is the episode for you: join Peter and Frank as they talk about collectable card games, Lovecraftian cosmic terrors, Arkham Horror and how Drawn to the Flame fits into that. Consider this an episode 0, the episode you point the uninitiated towards when you want to lure them into the dark rituals at the heart of this brilliant game...

Episode 32: Approaches to Play

Thu, 12 Oct 2017 08:30:00 +0100

Hey listener! Drawn to the Flame has a new SPOILER POLICY: Peter and Frank will flag up, at the start of each episode, what they intend to talk about. The core set is always fair game and the most recent cycle is usually fair game, too. Peter and Frank remembered to mention it this time around, so it's at the start of the episode.

In this episode, join Frank and Peter in their quest to be continually helpful, this time by aiding you in improving your play. As a sort of sequel to episode 16, which was all about deckbuilding, this episode is a discussion filled with tips and tricks to go from being mostly a grisly mess on the ground, destroyed by the horrors formed of dark rites and foul incantations, to only slightly bloodied and still pretty sane... which is an improvement, right? How should you spend those actions? What's better, a card or a resource? And how does prey work again? All this in the ep. Plus white-furred doom creatures.

In this episode, join Frank and Peter as they reflect on the new investigators from the Path to Carcosa, try to get their heads around Hiding Spot (nope, still stumped) and touch on their very first, very initial impressions of Curtain Call and The Last King. Has their sanity remained intact? Spoiler: nope.

Episode 24: Wendy Adams

Thu, 24 Aug 2017 12:56:00 +0100

She's got no one to rely on but herself (... and maybe a stray cat or two). Carrying her mother's amulet wherever she goes, she's doing her best to stave off the encroaching terrors and roaming creatures in Arkham, Massachusetts, and beyond. To look at her, she's but a child, yet she's not entirely unprepared for combating the dark things of the mythos, as there's something of the trickster to her, too: yes, this episode of Drawn to the Flame is all about the wonderful urchin Wendy Adams.

Join Peter and Frank in this investigator-specific episode of Drawn to the Flame, in which they look at Wendy Adams, the game's first survivor, and talk about her strengths, weaknesses and the tricks up her sleeve.

SPOILER POLICY: The player cards of the most recent pack (The Path to Carcosa) are fair game (but we don't discuss them). We try to stay one pack behind in terms of encounter card spoilers (Lost in Time and Space - but we don't discuss it, either).

Episode 23: What's the Deal with the King in Yellow?

Thu, 10 Aug 2017 08:30:00 +0100

Join Frank and Peter for this, episode 23 of Drawn to the Flame. In anticipation of the upcoming release of Arkham Horror's second deluxe expansion, The Path to Carcosa, yours hosts look at Robert W Chambers' short-story collection The King in Yellow, particularly the stories The Repairer of Reputations, The Mask, In the Court of the Dragon and The Yellow Sign.

Who was Hastur? Where is Lake Hali? And who - or what - is the Pallid Mask? In addition to looking at the motifs and motivations of the stories themselves, Peter and Frank consider how such weird and supernatural elements might be implemented in the card game.

SPOILER POLICY: The player cards of the most recent mythos pack (Lost in Time and Space) are fair game. We try to stay one pack behind in terms of encounter card spoilers (Where Doom Awaits). Currently, as the Dunwich Legacy cycle has come to an end, we're in limbo. In this episode, we don't really discuss cards that much...

Episode 22: Face to Face with Azathoth

Thu, 27 Jul 2017 09:14:00 +0100

SPOILER POLICY: This is a special episode and we will be talking about the entirety of the Dunwich Cycle in some depth. Please avoid if you haven't yet finished the cycle!

There are some secrets that once known will shatter our feeble consciousness, arcane rites and hidden mysteries so fell and terrible that to behold them is to fray the limits of one's sanity.

In Episode 22 of Drawn to the Flame, join Peter and Frank as they come face to face with a keeper of such secrets: Matthew Newman, lead developer of Arkham Horror: The Card Game. To celebrate the end of the Dunwich Legacy cycle, Arkham's first full campaign, Matt's joining the podcast to talk about player cards and encounter design in the Dunwich Legacy. It's a bumper episode as Peter and Frank get into the detail of each class's strengths, the challenges of the eight-scenario campaign, as well as glancing ahead to dread encounters on the horizon.
Join us very soon for a special mini episode before we start looking ahead to Path to Carcosa next time!

If you want to hear more from Matt, check him out on Mythos Busters, Team Covenant, and on the 1 Player Podcast.

Episode 21: A look back at the Dunwich Legacy

Wed, 19 Jul 2017 20:56:00 +0100

SPOILER POLICY: We're talking about player cards up to and including Lost in Time and Space mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards from the core set up to Where Doom Awaits.

In this, episode 21 of Drawn to the Flame, a podcast for fans of Arkham Horror: The Card game, join Peter and Frank as they discuss the conclusion of the Dunwich Legacy cycle. They look back at the four traits 'spell', 'weapon', 'ally' and 'talent' and see what new cards have been added to those, as well as pondering their favourite cards and moments of the cycle. The duo almost get through a whole episode without screwing up.

We're nearly done with the Dunwich Legacy now, aside from (hopefully!) a special treat next time...!

SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Lost in Time and Space mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards from the core set up to Where Doom Awaits.

In this episode, it's a look at the player cards from Lost in Time and Space, which is how you may feel when your reality comes unhinged and you try to make sense of what the heck it is you're listening to... As with all first look episodes, this episode isn't meant to be a definitive review, just a glance at the madness that waits once we decipher reality...

Episode 19: The Story So Far II (Storier Farer?)

Wed, 28 Jun 2017 23:24:00 +0100

SPOILER WARNING SPOILER WARNING All packs up to *Where Doom Awaits* mythos pack discussed! The full encounter set of Where Doom Awaits discussed! SPOILER WARNING ENDS

Join Peter and Frank for episode 19 of Drawn to the Flame. This is another spoiler-policy-breaking episode in which your hosts settle down with a cup of tea and a large dose of trepidation to discuss everything in the Dunwich Legacy that's brought their investigators to this point, everything they must face in Where Doom Awaits, and what may be lurking in the final, as-yet-unreleased scenario of the Dunwich Legacy cycle, Lost in Time and Space. This episode is a conversational, "watercooler" discussion, taking in the larger themes and story of the campaign, as well as sharing some of the hosts' favourite / least favourite moments. (Shoggoth, anyone?)

In addition, if you want to contact us, there are all the details below, and in this episode we've even asked you to do that. As the kids say: hit us up! (Do they say that? Maybe!)

Episode 18: Guidance from a Research Librarian

Thu, 15 Jun 2017 08:44:00 +0100

There are signs and sigils etched upon the ground at your feet, and they comprise a rough, hastily marked circle... a circle in which you stand captive. A... magic circle.

In this episode, Frank and Peter are trapped inside a magic circle and they've enlisted the help of wayward research librarian John to help them get free. Join them as they talk to John about play and games, about how Arkham Horror messes with the commonly accepted expectations in a card game, and hear how Frank forced John to play Eldritch Horror repeatedly.

SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Where Doom Awaits mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards from the core set up to Undimensioned & Unseen. Note: we don't get too specific about scenarios this episode.

WARNING: Discussion of Where Doom Awaits player cards in this episode!

SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Where Doom Awaits mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards from the core set up to Undimensioned & Unseen.

In this episode, Frank looks at the player cards from Where Doom Awaits, which feels pretty grim and depressing on this, British election day, aka where doom awaits... The pack came out on 8th June, and Frank gives his first impressions of the player cards. As with all first look episodes, this episode isn't meant to be a definitive review, just Frank, with his gifts from the homunculi and an ace in the hole trying not to think of how he's had worse and instead trying to come to some conclusions.

Episode 16: Approaches to Deckbuilding

Wed, 31 May 2017 22:38:00 +0100

You can throw thirty cards together smartly enough, but you want to up your deckbuilding game, from simply knowing the rules that govern decks in Arkham Horror all the way to making scintillating creations that fizz with ingenuity and versatility. How?

In this, the sixteenth episode of Drawn to the Flame, join Peter and Frank as they get stuck into the tricksy topic of deckbuilding. This episode isn't meant purely as a beginner's guide to deckbuilding. Instead, it's packed with approaches to have in mind when wrestling with your cards on your living room floor and tips for how to evaluate the choices you've made and enhance your deckbuilding expertise. As ever, this episode isn't meant to be exhaustive, just Frank and Peter's tuppence on the subject.

We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards up to Blood on the Altar. NOTE: in this episode we don't talk about encounter cards much at all.

Episode 15: Talents

Thu, 25 May 2017 08:18:00 +0100

You always pack bandages. You're a dab hand at lightening someone's pockets. You do your best work alone. You can read a map really really well. You seek forbidden secrets. You adapt to situations around you.... You are: talented.

In this, the fifteenth episode of Drawn to the Flame, join Peter and Frank as they discuss another trait in Arkham Horror. In earlier episodes we've covered weapons, allies and spells, and now we turn to talents to discern what makes an investigator talented, what place talents have in the game and whether we could all use a bit more scavenging in our lives.

SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Undimensioned & Unseen mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards up to Blood on the Altar. NOTE: in this episode we don't talk about encounter cards much at all.

Episode 13: Jenny Barnes

Wed, 03 May 2017 21:00:00 +0100

A life of luxury, furnished by material wealth and a resourceful spirit had Jenny Barnes want for nothing. Like so many of her class and means, she travelled to Europe to sample the finest delights of the Old World - its culture, heritage, cuisine and charms... until word reached her: her beloved sister was missing.

So Jenny Barnes finds herself back in Arkham, relying on her wits (and a little bit on her wealth). In this episode of Drawn to the Flame, Frank and Peter discuss this tough cookie of an investigator. How does she handle the dangers of Arkham Horror? What talents does her roguish nature provide? And will she ever find Izzie?

SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Blood on the Altar mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards up to Essex County Express. NOTE: this episode was recorded before Blood on the Altar was released. We discuss some BotA cards at the end of the episode.

Episode 11: Agnes Baker

Wed, 19 Apr 2017 21:45:00 +0100

She leads a peaceable life, waiting tables and getting by - at least she used to. But lately her dreams have spoken to her of times long past and places distant and terrible to behold. In that Hyperborean world, in those visions, she is no mere waitress, but a sorceress of fey and dreadful power. And now she feels that power stir within her blood...

Yep, that's right, ladies and gents, she's Agnes Baker, everyone's favourite waitress/witch. In this episode of Drawn to the Flame, Frank and Peter discusses this mysterious and deadly mystic. What does she do? How does she do it? And should she ever delve too deep?

SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Blood on the Altar mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards up to Essex County Express.

SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Essex County Express mythos pack (still a mouthful).

Esoteric Devices I: Adaptable & Delve Too Deep
In this episode of Drawn to the Flame, Peter and Frank start a new occasional series on the podcast: the close consideration of just a couple of player cards in Arkham Horror: The Card Game. Working title for these sorts of episodes is 'Esoteric Devices' and they're a chance for us to consider some of the mechanics and structuring of the game in greater detail, as well as the ways that particular cards can warp our expectations of how a card game works.

Episode 7: Frank's First Look at Essex County Express

Thu, 16 Mar 2017 19:50:00 +0000

SPOILER WARNING: Drawn to the Flame's spoiler policy states that player cards from the most recently released mythos pack are fair game for discussion, and today, Thursday 16th March, was the release date of the second pack in the Dunwich Legacy cycle, the Essex County Express. SPOILER WARNING

So Frank's not really breaking the policy, but there may be players out there who want to wait until they have the pack in their hands, as Frank has done, before looking at the player cards. If you're one of them, maybe don't listen. Otherwise, jump in and hear Frank's first impressions of cards in his hands.
