Join Frank for the fifth Think on your Feet, in which Sefina Rousseau finds herself at the base of Sentinel Hill, staring up at the site of the evils of Dunwich. Can she make it to the peak in time to stop Seth Bishop's ritual? Will her Dunwich endeavours be for naught?
In the Think on your Feet series, 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 are mistakes and misplays a-plenty, but hopefully some successes too. But in this episode, in light of the Patreon support and because I want to take Drawn to the Flame to the next level, I've added some atmospheric details too. Hopefully they elevate the listening experience.
Here's the deck before Where Doom Awaits: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/132444.
**SPOILERS**:
Here's the deck before Lost in Time and Space: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/132476.
Scenario 7 begins at 4 minutes. Scenario 8 begins at 40 minutes and 30 seconds.
During the edit I spotted a couple of misplays I made while playing. After I advanced to agenda 3 in LiTaS I forgot to draw an encounter card - I was too excited! - but that was countered by playing Narrow Escape a few minutes later. I used it to avoid an attack of opportunity from one enemy who in fact doesn't make attacks of opportunity! Whoops! So I could have saved myself a hit from the other enemy engaged with me.... more fool me!

Join Peter and Frank as they come face to face once more with the blind idiot god, the daemon sultan itself – Matt Newman, lead designer of Arkham Horror! We're absolutely delighted to have Matt on the podcast once again, and this time we're talking about The Path to Carcosa, including the player cards and how the factions have developed this cycle, designer notes on the eight scenarios of the campaign, and then, a brief look at The Forgotten Age and what we might expect from central American adventures.
Thanks again to Matt and FFG - it's an absolute pleasure to have Matt join us and be so generous with his time!

Join Peter and Frank as they start a new occasional series (we hope!) for Drawn to the Flame: Inquiring Mind. In it, they talk to friend of the show and all-round good guy Benjamin, who's been trying investigators he's never tried before. The purpose of this series is to explore investigators not exactly comprehensively, but in terms of trying them for the first time: why hadn't Ben tried them before? What did he want to get out of the experience? And how did it go? In this episode: everyone's favourite urchin!

Join Frank for the fourth Think on your Feet, in which Sefina Rousseau arrives in Dunwich village to find the place in a sorry state of perturbation. The villagers are keeping secrets and fell beasts roam the countryside...
In the Think on your Feet series, 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!), and I normally aim to pare out the bus sounds (buses? in Dunwich village??) but otherwise, it's uncut, unaltered and meant to feel like you're with me at the table. There are mistakes and misplays a-plenty, but hopefully some successes too.
Here's the deck before Blood on the Altar: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/131203.
Here's the deck before Undimensioned and Unseen: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/131231.
Scenario 5 begins at 4 minutes on the nose. Scenario 6 begins at 55 minutes.
There's a tiny misplay at 48 minutes: the whippoorwills hunt to Village Commons... except they can't, because it's not connected to where they were. It doesn't particularly affect the outcome of the scenario but it might have made things marginally easier for me... it's hard to say. But yes, in the fug of Blood on the Altar, I forgot some of the location connections! I also stopped mentioning what's in my hand quite as often... in fact, I don't think I do so *at all*. Let me know if it's too tricky to follow as that's probably pretty hard to track! Oh and at 1hr47 I forget about the -1 Willpower in the Whateley Ruins, which means I shouldn't have lost Frozen in Fear. Fortunately, I had enough actions to spare the following turn anyway! PHEW.

The world of Arkham Horror: The Card game is more than simply smashing shoggoths in the face. Hidden in dark corners of the land, in musty libraries and secluded meeting halls are sects and secrets, esoterica to be rustled up by only the most determined of investigators. Where pages are to be thumbed and rites studied, there's no one better than Miskatonic's very own librarian, Daisy Walker. Join Peter and Frank in this episode as they discuss Daisy's strengths, weaknesses and playstyles in another investigator-specific episode.

Drawn to the Flame is delighted to be able to announce a forthcoming card from the Dim Carcosa mythos pack: Time Warp. Fantasy Flight Games has very kindly sent us the card to announce to you, our dear listeners, and we are absolutely bursting with excitement about this amazing, *weird* card. Tune in to listen to our reactions to it! Thanks again to FFG for being magnificent!
This episode also contains a second section, in which Frank and Peter discuss Carcosa so far. The two sections are clearly separated. In the second, we talk about what's happened, what we feel doubt and conviction are doing, and where it all might end. What are patrons? Where is Carcosa? Who you callin' dim?

Join Peter and Frank for another Esoteric Devices episode, their occasional series which takes individual cards and explores how they disintegrate what we expect from Arkham Horror: The Card Game. In the first episode, it was Adaptable and Delve Too Deep under the microscope. This time it's a look at the 'mini quest' mechanic that's built into Strange Solution and Archaic Glyphs. How do they work and what do they mean for what we understand of the game?
ALSO: Drawn to the Flame's first event is happening! Listen to the end of the episode to hear how you can get involved.

Join Frank for another first look, this time at the player cards of Black Stars Rise, the fifth mythos pack in the Path to Carcosa cycle. Will this be the Super Frank pack?!
Listen to the mad echoes as Frank speaks to you trapped in the Labyrinth of Drills; hear how his voice cracks as battery ebbs from his device; marvel at the shoddily edited episode of wonder, brought to you from a makeshift studio, after his computer went completely kaputnik....

Join Frank for the third Think on your Feet, in which Sefina Rousseau continues to carry out tasks set her by Dr Henry Armitage. Will she find the dread Necronomicon? Just what are these delays on the train line to Dunwich??
In the Think on your Feet series, I endeavour not to edit much at all. Sometimes I cut a bit of shuffling sounds or abbreviate some of my longer pauses (a boy's got to think!), and I normally aim to pare out the bus sounds (buses? in the middle of a museum??) but otherwise, it's uncut, unaltered and meant to feel like you're with me at the table. There are mistakes and misplays a-plenty, but hopefully some successes too.
Here's the deck before Miskatonic Museum: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/114354.
Here's the deck before Essex County Express: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/114378.
Scenario 3 begins at 2 minutes. Scenario 4 begins at almost exactly 41 minutes. Thank you to everyone who wrote in saying the first live play was enjoyable, or encouraging me to do more. It's been very touching and I'm super excited to share these further episodes with you!

Just a measly twelve months ago, Frank and Peter settled down to record their thoughts about weapons and allies in Arkham Horror: The Card Game. At that time, the core set and the Dunwich Legacy deluxe were the only cards out in the wild, and your two hosts of Drawn to the Flame were just learning the ropes. A year's passed! What a difference a year makes. Tune in for an end-of-term episode when Frank reflects on Arkham highlights over the year and Peter loses himself to his favourite topic: flavour text.

Join Frank for another first look, this time at the player cards of The Pallid Mask, the fourth mythos pack in the Path to Carcosa cycle. Rumour has it it's time to get skilful, and familiar cards grow ever more powerful...
The card discussion itself starts around 2 minutes. Special guest arrives at 40 minutes.

In this episode, Peter and Frank look at card draw. Why is card draw a good thing - and is it an unqualifiedly good thing in a game where the safety of one's own deck is to be questioned? Why is card draw a cornerstone of card games, and how does that relate to Arkham Horror? How do the five factions draw cards, and does it add flavour to the character of the factions? This episode isn't quite a guide, but it's not so much a discussion as a survey, either. We hope you like it!

Join Frank for the second Think on your Feet. After suggestions from listeners and a poll on Facebook, Sefina Rousseau has been chosen to take on the challenges of the Dunwich Legacy.
As with Think on your Feet I, I've dived straight in and got to the meat of playing. Unlike Think on your Feet I, Sefina is a far more tricksy investigator to pilot than Roland, so there are certainly some pauses and challenges with flow and best lines. As before, it's meant to sound real - so you might pick up the sound of traffic, or tokens being shifted, or droplets of sweat dripping from my brow as I fret...
Here's the level 0 version of the deck: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/88127. There are some odd choices there; I talk about (most of) them in the episode.
Here's the deck after scenario 1: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/100374.
Scenario 1 begins at 3 minutes. Scenario 2 begins at almost exactly 50 minutes. Thank you to everyone who wrote in saying the first live play was enjoyable, or encouraging me to do more. It's been very touching and I'm glad to share these episodes with you!

In this episode, Peter and Frank look into spending experience. They think about upgrading strategies, ways of approaching experience, looking at team composition and wrestle with a good answer for what's best to cut. They try to fill the episode with good examples, too, for which you can be the judge...

In this episode, Peter and Frank participate in the #AllPurpleAllTheTime challenge, a gauntlet tossed at our feet by the good fellows of Arkham Chronicle. We're joined by the Mythos Busters and the team is rounded out by The Whisperer in Darkness, aka the Man from Leng, and it's a pretty simple mission: we each have to build a deck for a mystic investigator, and they'll make up an all purple investigative team!
We drew... Akachi Onyele, so tune in as we discuss her strengths and weaknesses and build a deck for her. To see our final deck, take a look here: https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/4092/allpurpleallthetime-akachi-onyele-1.0.

Join Frank for a new type of Drawn to the Flame episode: Think on your Feet, a live play series. In this episode, very much the pilot, he takes a Roland deck through a little campaign called... The Night of the Zealot. Will the zealot get enough sleep? What happens when morning breaks?
This is a new style of episode for Drawn to the Flame, and we'd be delighted to hear what you think of it. We wanted to dive straight in, so there isn't much introduction and Frank cracks on. We wanted it to sound real - as it is - so there's been minimal editing, mainly just shortening up long pauses and removing the sounds of traffic from outside. You can hear the token bag being shaken and cards being shuffled, and that's all intentional. It's a live play-through!
Frank chose a good stuff Roland deck he'd cooked up - no frills, no tricks - to try out for this style of episode. Here's the list: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/93235 You can click through that list to the future iterations, but maybe do that when you hear the musical cue.
What else? Time stamps: scenario 1 begins at 1 minute; scenario 2 begins at 25 minutes; scenario 3 begins at 52 minutes. ENJOY! Merry Christmas! Oh and if you like this sort of episode and have read this far... tell Frank whom he should play as next!

Join Frank for another first look, this time at the player cards of A Phantom of Truth, the third mythos pack in the Path to Carcosa cycle. There is lots of oohing and ahhing, and some personal details from your boy Frank... but more importantly: what terror cards are out there? What are relics? And is salt on a slug really a cheap shot?
The card discussion itself starts almost exactly at 3 minutes.

At twenty minutes or so, Frank talks about not being able to investigate if there are no clues around. Of course what he means is: you can still investigate, but you won't get a clue for investigating, which is a shame if you're using an investigation as the test to add six icons to to clear The King in Yellow.

Join Peter and Frank for the thirty-eighth episode of Drawn to the Flame, in which they discuss the midway point of the Path to Carcosa cycle. After a theatre of the dead, a manic dinner party, a race through the Historical Society of Arkham and now a visit to a mental institution, this campaign has been filled with wonders and terrors. Peter and Frank talk about the story so far, some recent play experiences, and ponder what might be in store for the rest of the campaign.

You're a pro-slayer. You can find clues for days. Spells? You know em! And yet, every so often, you find yourself tapping out because you may be a beast at Arkham Horror, but the encounter deck has your number. Join Peter and Frank in this episode of Drawn to the Flame as they look at the encounter deck, with a particular eye on the keywords of cards most commonly found in that deck. What does surge do? How do you retaliate? And what on earth is peril (don't ask your friends)? All this and more...

Tune in for Frank's First Look (trademark pending) of the new player cards of the first mythos pack of the Path to Carcosa cycle, aka Echoes of the Past, aka Echoes echoes echoes echoes, aka bit overexcited right now. What are composure cards like? Is Frank getting desperate with his descriptions now? And is it all because Mr Pawterson told him so?

Hello listener! Perhaps you've never heard of Arkham Horror The Card Game, or maybe you're new even to the idea of an LCG (Living Card Game). If so, this is the episode for you: join Peter and Frank as they talk about collectable card games, Lovecraftian cosmic terrors, Arkham Horror and how Drawn to the Flame fits into that. Consider this an episode 0, the episode you point the uninitiated towards when you want to lure them into the dark rituals at the heart of this brilliant game...

Hey listener! Drawn to the Flame has a new SPOILER POLICY: Peter and Frank will flag up, at the start of each episode, what they intend to talk about. The core set is always fair game and the most recent cycle is usually fair game, too. Peter and Frank remembered to mention it this time around, so it's at the start of the episode.

The Path to Carcosa deluxe expansion for Arkham Horror: The Card Game is out now. What secrets does it hold? How will it change how investigators approach the challenges of the mythos? And just which new investigators will be doing said approaching? Join Peter and Frank as they continue to look at the new player cards from the latest deluxe expansion for Arkham Horror. In this episode, Peter and Frank take a (nearly) first look at the last player cards added to the game.
SPOILER POLICY: The player cards of the most recent pack (The Path to Carcosa) are fair game (and that's what's discussed in this episode). We try to stay one pack behind in terms of encounter card spoilers (Lost in Time and Space).

The Path to Carcosa deluxe expansion for Arkham Horror: The Card Game is out now. What secrets does it hold? How will it change how investigators approach the challenges of the mythos? And just which new investigators will be doing said approaching? Join Peter and Frank as they continue to look at the new player cards from the latest deluxe expansion for Arkham Horror. In this episode, Peter and Frank take a (nearly) first look at more player cards added to the game.
SPOILER POLICY: The player cards of the most recent pack (The Path to Carcosa) are fair game (and that's what's discussed in this episode). We try to stay one pack behind in terms of encounter card spoilers (Lost in Time and Space).

She's got no one to rely on but herself (... and maybe a stray cat or two). Carrying her mother's amulet wherever she goes, she's doing her best to stave off the encroaching terrors and roaming creatures in Arkham, Massachusetts, and beyond. To look at her, she's but a child, yet she's not entirely unprepared for combating the dark things of the mythos, as there's something of the trickster to her, too: yes, this episode of Drawn to the Flame is all about the wonderful urchin Wendy Adams.
Join Peter and Frank in this investigator-specific episode of Drawn to the Flame, in which they look at Wendy Adams, the game's first survivor, and talk about her strengths, weaknesses and the tricks up her sleeve.
SPOILER POLICY: The player cards of the most recent pack (The Path to Carcosa) are fair game (but we don't discuss them). We try to stay one pack behind in terms of encounter card spoilers (Lost in Time and Space - but we don't discuss it, either).

Join Frank and Peter for this, episode 23 of Drawn to the Flame. In anticipation of the upcoming release of Arkham Horror's second deluxe expansion, The Path to Carcosa, yours hosts look at Robert W Chambers' short-story collection The King in Yellow, particularly the stories The Repairer of Reputations, The Mask, In the Court of the Dragon and The Yellow Sign.
Who was Hastur? Where is Lake Hali? And who - or what - is the Pallid Mask? In addition to looking at the motifs and motivations of the stories themselves, Peter and Frank consider how such weird and supernatural elements might be implemented in the card game.
SPOILER POLICY: The player cards of the most recent mythos pack (Lost in Time and Space) are fair game. We try to stay one pack behind in terms of encounter card spoilers (Where Doom Awaits). Currently, as the Dunwich Legacy cycle has come to an end, we're in limbo. In this episode, we don't really discuss cards that much...

SPOILER POLICY: This is a special episode and we will be talking about the entirety of the Dunwich Cycle in some depth. Please avoid if you haven't yet finished the cycle!
There are some secrets that once known will shatter our feeble consciousness, arcane rites and hidden mysteries so fell and terrible that to behold them is to fray the limits of one's sanity.
If you want to hear more from Matt, check him out on Mythos Busters, Team Covenant, and on the 1 Player Podcast.

SPOILER POLICY: We're talking about player cards up to and including Lost in Time and Space mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards from the core set up to Where Doom Awaits.
In this, episode 21 of Drawn to the Flame, a podcast for fans of Arkham Horror: The Card game, join Peter and Frank as they discuss the conclusion of the Dunwich Legacy cycle. They look back at the four traits 'spell', 'weapon', 'ally' and 'talent' and see what new cards have been added to those, as well as pondering their favourite cards and moments of the cycle. The duo almost get through a whole episode without screwing up.

SPOILER WARNING SPOILER WARNING All packs up to *Where Doom Awaits* mythos pack discussed! The full encounter set of Where Doom Awaits discussed! SPOILER WARNING ENDS
Join Peter and Frank for episode 19 of Drawn to the Flame. This is another spoiler-policy-breaking episode in which your hosts settle down with a cup of tea and a large dose of trepidation to discuss everything in the Dunwich Legacy that's brought their investigators to this point, everything they must face in Where Doom Awaits, and what may be lurking in the final, as-yet-unreleased scenario of the Dunwich Legacy cycle, Lost in Time and Space. This episode is a conversational, "watercooler" discussion, taking in the larger themes and story of the campaign, as well as sharing some of the hosts' favourite / least favourite moments. (Shoggoth, anyone?)
In addition, if you want to contact us, there are all the details below, and in this episode we've even asked you to do that. As the kids say: hit us up! (Do they say that? Maybe!)

There are signs and sigils etched upon the ground at your feet, and they comprise a rough, hastily marked circle... a circle in which you stand captive. A... magic circle.
In this episode, Frank and Peter are trapped inside a magic circle and they've enlisted the help of wayward research librarian John to help them get free. Join them as they talk to John about play and games, about how Arkham Horror messes with the commonly accepted expectations in a card game, and hear how Frank forced John to play Eldritch Horror repeatedly.
SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Where Doom Awaits mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards from the core set up to Undimensioned & Unseen. Note: we don't get too specific about scenarios this episode.

WARNING: Discussion of Where Doom Awaits player cards in this episode!
SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Where Doom Awaits mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards from the core set up to Undimensioned & Unseen.
In this episode, Frank looks at the player cards from Where Doom Awaits, which feels pretty grim and depressing on this, British election day, aka where doom awaits... The pack came out on 8th June, and Frank gives his first impressions of the player cards. As with all first look episodes, this episode isn't meant to be a definitive review, just Frank, with his gifts from the homunculi and an ace in the hole trying not to think of how he's had worse and instead trying to come to some conclusions.

You can throw thirty cards together smartly enough, but you want to up your deckbuilding game, from simply knowing the rules that govern decks in Arkham Horror all the way to making scintillating creations that fizz with ingenuity and versatility. How?
In this, the sixteenth episode of Drawn to the Flame, join Peter and Frank as they get stuck into the tricksy topic of deckbuilding. This episode isn't meant purely as a beginner's guide to deckbuilding. Instead, it's packed with approaches to have in mind when wrestling with your cards on your living room floor and tips for how to evaluate the choices you've made and enhance your deckbuilding expertise. As ever, this episode isn't meant to be exhaustive, just Frank and Peter's tuppence on the subject.
SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Undimensioned & Unseen mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards up to Blood on the Altar. NOTE: in this episode we don't talk about encounter cards much at all.

You always pack bandages. You're a dab hand at lightening someone's pockets. You do your best work alone. You can read a map really really well. You seek forbidden secrets. You adapt to situations around you.... You are: talented.
In this, the fifteenth episode of Drawn to the Flame, join Peter and Frank as they discuss another trait in Arkham Horror. In earlier episodes we've covered weapons, allies and spells, and now we turn to talents to discern what makes an investigator talented, what place talents have in the game and whether we could all use a bit more scavenging in our lives.
SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Undimensioned & Unseen mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards up to Blood on the Altar. NOTE: in this episode we don't talk about encounter cards much at all.
