Drawn To The Flame

Join Frank and Peter as they sit down to work their way through The Dream-Eaters deluxe expansion for Arkham Horror The Card Game. Fresh off a weekend of events at Alexandra Palace, they share their experiences with the new investigators, some of the new player cards, and dive into the challenges of the new weaknesses. Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/drawntotheflameBuy Drawn to the Flame shirts, jumpers and mugs: www.designbyhumans.com/shop/drawntotheflameListen on iTunes: right hereSubscribe to our RSS via Feedburner: right hereDirect download: right hereEmail us on drawntotheflamepodcast@gmail.comTwitter is here and Facebook is here.Thank you, as ever, and ever so much, for listening and subscribing!

Join Frank and Peter as they sit down with none other that the daemon sultan himself, Matt Newman, lead developer of Arkham Horror and the mind behind the wonderful Circle Undone. We talk Matt's design process, his favourite player cards from the cycle, then get his insights on how he drew together the Silver Twilight Lodge and Anette's coven for the campaign and look ahead at The Dream-Eaters.Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/drawntotheflameBuy Drawn to the Flame shirts, jumpers and mugs: www.designbyhumans.com/shop/drawntotheflameListen on iTunes: right hereSubscribe to our RSS via Feedburner: right hereDirect download: right hereEmail us on drawntotheflamepodcast@gmail.comTwitter is here and Facebook is here.Thank you, as ever, and ever so much, for listening and subscribing!

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! Here's the Diana deck before scenario 1: CLICK ME Here's the Dian

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.

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! Here's the Diana deck before scenario 1: CLICK ME Here's the Diana deck before scenario 2: CLICK ME Amazing

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.

Join Peter and Frank for a detailed consideration of everyone's favourite Guardian, Mr Grumpy himself!

Your hosts talk about Leo's strengths, weaknesses and temperament. Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/drawntotheflameBuy Drawn to the Flame shirts, jumpers and mugs: www.designbyhumans.com/shop/drawntotheflameListen on iTunes: right hereSubscribe to our RSS via Feedburner: right hereDirect download: right hereEmail us on drawntotheflamepodcast@gmail.comTwitter is here and Facebook is here.Thank you, as ever, and ever so much, for listening and subscribing!

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.

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.Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/drawntotheflameBuy Drawn to the Flame shirts, jumpers and mugs: www.designbyhumans.com/shop/drawntotheflameListen on iTunes: right hereSubscribe to our RSS via Feedburner: right hereDirect download: right hereEmail us on drawntotheflamepodcast@gmail.comTwitter is here and Facebook is here.Thank you, as ever, and ever so much, for listening and subscribing!

Join Peter and Frank LIVE as they reveal two new cards from In the Clutches of Chaos, play a challenge with the audience and create plenty of dead air in the excitement of being LIVE in front of a LIVE audience for the first time.
