Episode 78: Think on your Feet VII
23/08/2018Join Frank for the seventh Think on your Feet, in which Calvin Wright continues his 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. 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. Litt

Episode 65: AGE
14/05/2018Join 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.
