Drawn To The Flame

She trained as a secretary and then worked as a personal assistant - and she is exceptional at helping others. She's skilful and a born survivor, able to live on her wits. And her analytical mind is obsessed with decoding the secrets of a very dangerous play: The King in Yellow. That's right, this episode is all about Arkham Horror's newest seeker, the secretary Minh Thi Phan. Join Peter and Frank as they discuss her potencies and deficiencies.  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.   Amazing logo courtesy of this guy Listen on iTunes: right here Subscribe to our RSS via Feedburner: right here Direct download: right here Email us on drawntotheflamepodcast@gmail.com Twitter is here and Facebook is here.

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...  Amazing logo courtesy of this guy Listen on iTunes: right here Subscribe to our RSS via Feedburner: right here Direct download: right here Email us on drawntotheflamepodcast@gmail.com Twitter is here and Facebook is here.

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.  In this episode, join Frank and Peter in their quest to be continually helpful, this time by aiding you in improving your play. As a sort of sequel to episode 16, which was all about deckbuilding, this episode is a discussion filled with tips and tricks to go from being mostly a grisly mess on the ground, destroyed by the horrors formed of dark rites and foul incantations, to only slightly bloodied and still pretty sane... which is an improvement, right? How should you spend those actions? What's better, a card or a resource? And how does prey work again? All this in the ep. Plus white-furred doom creatures.  Amazing logo courtesy of these guys Listen on iTunes: right here Subscribe to our RSS via Feedburner: right here Direct download: right here Email us on drawntotheflamepodcast@gmail.com Twitter is here and Facebook is here.
