Episode 53: Daisy Walker Mar 15, 2018

Show notes

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.

Episode 52: Time Warp Mar 08, 2018

Show notes

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?

Episode 51: Esoteric Devices II Mar 01, 2018

Show notes

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.

Episode 50: Frank's First Look at Black Stars Rise Feb 22, 2018

Show notes

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....

Episode 49: Think on your Feet III Feb 19, 2018

Show notes

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!

Episode 48: Year One Feb 09, 2018

Show notes

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.

Episode 46: Sefina Rousseau Jan 25, 2018

Show notes

She is a fantastic painter, but found that her talents could be turned to more lucrative, less strictly legal art forms. In the course of her work, she discovered an entire new world, a place inside one of her paintings, and her experiences there have given her deep wells of resources and countless arcane insights. Now she arrives in Arkham, prepared for whatever events she may encounter there. This episode, join Peter and Frank for another investigator-focused episode all about Sefina Rousseau, the painter.

Episode 45: Sketching Preposterously (aka Thinking about Card Draw) Jan 18, 2018

Show notes

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!
