Drawn To The Flame

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.

My deck: third scenario

0.00 intro and audio stuff
1.35 xp options
3.42 note from previous scenario
5.10 scenario intro
8.20 setup
10.50 act and agenda
11.50 opening hand
12.50 or so: gameplay begins
45.20 a little codex interlude
45.50 resolution and wrap-up. 
49.00 design notes

At 30.10 I defeat Servant of Flame and forget to trigger its codex - I remember at 45.10!

Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode. The patrons have voted, so we're embarking on "<patron choice of chapter 2 investigator> versus Brethren of Ash"

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.

My deck: first scenario | second scenario

0.00 preamble
2.05 first scenario intro
4.35 opening hand
5.05 gameplay begins
33.10 first scenario analysis
33.55 second scenario intro
36.55 what's the map like?
41.03 opening hand
41.26 gameplay begins

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.

Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode. After our last episode, in which Frank tried out two of the premade decks, here Frank tries another one (or two, or three). 

In Think on your Feet episodes, I endeavour not to edit much at all.

0.00 preamble
3.57 who are we playing?
6.15 class overview
9.13 final setup
10.47 opening hand
12.05 gameplay begins - or at least scheming
49.50 taking a breath, resetting, class overview
54.05 gander in the rulebook
55.17 opening hand
1.09.45 resetting, class overview
1.13.37 opening hand

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.

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.

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).

Join Frank and Peter as we preview half a dozen cards as part of the Survivor investigator deck preview season. We recorded this episode before we knew any of the other cards, so these are our time-capsule takes shorn of the context of the other previews. Thank you to FFG for sending us the cards to preview.
