Drawn To The Flame

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. Tarot art by Lenka Simeckova for Arkham Horror: right hereTickets for Arkham in Flames, 9 & 10 March 2019, on sale here: CLICK ME PLEASEAmazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/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!

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! Tickets for Arkham in Flames, 9 & 10 March 2019, on sale here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/arkham-in-flames-2019-tickets-51408313650Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/drawntotheflameListen on iTunes: right hereSubscribe to our RSS via Feedburner: right hereDirect download: right hereEmail us on drawntotheflamepodc

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...)Tickets for Arkham in Flames, 9 & 10 March 2019, on sale here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/arkham-in-flames-2019-tickets-51408313650Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/drawntotheflameLis

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. Tickets for Arkham in Flames, 9 & 10 March 2019, on sale here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/arkham-in-flames-2019-tickets-51408313650Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/drawntotheflameListen on iTunes: right hereSubscribe to our RSS via Feedburn

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?

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:Mark: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/239498Ursula: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/160566Finn: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/230305Jim: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/237668Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/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 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!Her

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-1.0Here's the patreon article we mention: https://www.patreon.com/posts/small-thoughts-21792436Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/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!

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!

Join Peter and Frank for our first decktrospective (no idea what that name means - hopefully someone will clear it up for us), in which we take a deck sent in by a patron and take it apart, like the restoration of an antique vase or two petrolheads doing automobile fanboying or whatever it is car-people like doing. This time, it's an Ashcan Pete deck: https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/5825/pete-duke-and-yaotl-desperate-synergy-3.0We're also lucky to appear as guests on Unlucky Frog Gaming's podcast.

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! To read the entries, click hereAmazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/drawntotheflameListen on iTunes: right hereSubscribe to our RSS via Feedburner: right hereDirect download: right hereEm

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:

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!

Join Peter and Frank for a brief Good Question style episode, in which they try out their new microphones (thank you so bloomin' much, patrons!), look at the newly announced Return to the Dunwich Legacy box, and ask each other Good Questions (TM), the answers of which prove... interesting!Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Drawn to the Flame on Patreon: www.patreon.com/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 for listening and subscribing!
