Episode 159: Think on your Feet XXII
23/03/2020Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXII, in which Norman Withers takes his investigations first to the Silver Twilight Lodge and then to the Unvisited Isle in his adventures 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. I think at around turn two (come on!) I gave myself four actions. What a ninny!

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.
