Episode 174: ToyF Extras Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

Join Frank and Peter for a Think on your Feet planning and discussion episode. They look at the decks they want to take to The Dream-Eaters, they discuss the first interlude (The Black Cat) and they look at experience and upgraded cards for the decks. This episode was recorded in two parts, the first before the new series of Think on your Feet began, the second after the first two scenarios had been played - we explain that in the episode, but be prepared for some time jumps!

Episode 173: Think on your Feet XXV Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXV, in which he embarks on The Dream-Eaters.
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.
At 53 minutes, the spawn instructions get a bit lost. At 2hrs-ish, I forget to flip a card, but it doesn't have too much of an impact.

Episode 172: Dreaming with Azathoth Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

We're delighted to sit down (remotely) with Matt Newman, aka the Blind Idiot God, aka the lead developer of Arkham Horror to talk all things The Dream-Eaters (and a little bit of The Innsmouth Conspiracy). The first part of the episode, up to 1hr4mins we talk about the player cards and general goals of The Dream-Eaters, before moving into discussing the scenarios. Think of this as a director's commentary for the cycle. Thanks for taking the time to talk to us and the listeners of the cast, Matt!
At 1hr30mins or so you can pick up some audio distortion (a fan, I think) on one of the lines. I've tried to remove it, but it does stop by itself after about 10 minutes. Sorry about that!

Episode 169: Think on your Feet XXIV May 28, 2020

Show notes

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXIV, in which, in this between-series break, he takes on a special scenario with a couple of different decks.
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.
At 35 minutes, I forget that enemies exhaust after they attack in the enemy phase, adding 2 doom when I should have added... ZERO! So quite punishing for me there. More generally I think my line of play at 30 minutes was wrong. I should've taken 2 resources and played Meat Cleaver, setting me up for tackling cultists more efficiently.
