Drawn To The Flame

Join Frank and Peter for a head-scratcher: is Carolyn the new Daisy? What does that mean? And if it means what we think it means, what does that say about chapter 1 Arkham in comparison with chapter 2 Arkham, if anything?

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.

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.

Join Frank and Peter as they look at some of the hits and misses of the chapter two core set - aka the 2026 core set - for Arkham Horror The Card Game, and specifically the highs and lows of Brethren of Ash, the core set campaign. We're looking at what we love, what worked for us, and what left us wanting more.

Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode. Here ends our Brethren of Ash solo playthrough!

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.

1.27.15 I forget to take a horror from a pursuing Whippoorwill but a minute later I remember it.
During the recording, I realise I may have made a rather major mess-up this playthrough, somehow internalising that Izzie's ability is once per test rather than once per round. I do spot this error at 1.01.25... and during the edit I've checked and I never in fact make the error! Phewee! Just shows how things can slip by. So even though I am not sure whether I used her ability multiple times per phase, it turns out... I didn't.

At 31.23: I say skulls are -2 on a 5 v 2 test. I'm wrong, skulls are -3s by this point in the scenario. Luckily, that doesn't matter! I spot it at 36.05 or so.
At 1.17.13: I miscount my handsize due to the assistant, but I spot it shortly afterwards. 
Throughout: I keep calling Servant of Flame Servant of the Flame. Maybe it's because I'm so used to Drawn to the Flame rather than Drawn to Flame? Anyway, I spot it, apologise for it, and continue to do it pretty much indiscriminately throughout. Sorry!
At 1.26.00 or so: I kill two experiments and forget to be horrified by them, but I spot this and correct it at 1.32.40.

Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode - this time, it's tearing into the new 'chapter two' core set for Arkham Horror The Card Game The Living Card Game.

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 29.30 I get confused - I'd missed a damage from fire on the mutant from the previous turn, so it should've died at this point (and me with it).

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!

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!

Join Frank and Peter as they take stock of preview season so far. What's catching their eye with The Drowned City? What are the new investigators like? What does the return of myriad augur? NB: this episode was recorded in early January 2025, so we weren't privvy to the full Drowned City set, let alone all the previews at the time of recording.

See all the previews here.

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.

Join Frank and Peter for the third and final part of an extended interview with Azathoth's replacement Nyarlathotep, aka Duke Harrist, the lead designer of Arkham Horror LCG. In this episode, we talk to Duke about The Feast of Hemlock Vale campaign. We work our way through every scenario in the campaign, as well as its influences, the tone he wanted to set, his thoughts on difficulty, solo play and balance and the personal elements of his own life that went into the creation of the campaign. If that's not enough, we round the whole thing out with a bit of chat about The Drowned City, too!
