Episode 339: Drowning in Lore Feb 06, 2025

Show notes

Join Peter and Frank as they talk about some of the things on Duke's mood board for The Drowned City. When we spoke to Duke last year, he mentioned a range of media and we've jumped in to look at The Call of Cthulhu, The Doom that Came to Sarnath, Arrival, Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, Scavengers Reign and Evil Dead, and talk about them all and how they relate to The Drowned City. BEWARE: spoilers for all within.

Episode 338: Drowning in Previews Jan 23, 2025

Show notes

Join Frank and Peter as they take stock of preview season so far. What's catching their eye with The Drowned City? What are the new investigators like? What does the return of myriad augur? NB: this episode was recorded in early January 2025, so we weren't privvy to the full Drowned City set, let alone all the previews at the time of recording.

See all the previews here.

Episode 335: Think on your Feet XLVIII Jan 02, 2025

Show notes

Tune in for Think on your Feet XLVII, in which the play through of The Innsmouth Conspiracy, featuring Subject 5U-21, concludes.

In Think on your Feet episodes, a live play series, 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.

Episode 334: Nyarlathotep's Grand Feast Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

Join Frank and Peter for the third and final part of an extended interview with Azathoth's replacement Nyarlathotep, aka Duke Harrist, the lead designer of Arkham Horror LCG. In this episode, we talk to Duke about The Feast of Hemlock Vale campaign. We work our way through every scenario in the campaign, as well as its influences, the tone he wanted to set, his thoughts on difficulty, solo play and balance and the personal elements of his own life that went into the creation of the campaign. If that's not enough, we round the whole thing out with a bit of chat about The Drowned City, too!
