Episode 221: Think on your Feet XXXI Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXXI, in which Mateo returns to The Boundary Beyond and Heart of the Elders.

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 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.

I spotted two errors. At 33mins, I didn't add a doom to a Hand of the Brotherhood. I did then kill it, so I don't think it made an impact, but it was a mistake. At 53mins, I draw a hex and forget to trigger Chapultapec Hill's reaction. Whoops!

Episode 220: Earthborne Rangers Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

Join Frank and Peter for a conversation with Andrew Navaro, founder and creative director of Earthborne Games, the first offering of which, Earthborne Rangers, is a cooperative card game set in the far future that's on Kickstarter right now. We talk to Andrew about how the game plays (including character creation, winning and losing and other game mechanics), what he learned about cooperative card games from his decade at FFG, why sustainability matters and what inspired this game, among much else!

Earthborne Rangers on Kickstarter is here.

Two other Andrew interviews: Team Covenant and Shut Up & Sit Down.

Episode 219: Multiplayer and Solo Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

What's the difference between multiplayer and solo? Do we do Arkham a disservice by treating both game types as the same? Could we improve as players if we had more clarity around what each game type offers? Join Frank and Peter as they explore these and other questions.

Episode 216: Think on your Feet XXIX Jun 17, 2021

Show notes

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXIX, in which he starts a new campaign. The investigator: Padre Mateo Castile. The campaign: Return to the Forgotten Age. The prospects: blessedly bleak.

I take two tests at 1.23.00 and say '5 v 2' when really it was '6 v 2'. It doesn't make a difference, but I should've spotted it!
