Episode 12: The Story So Far

SPOILER WARNING All packs up to *Blood on the Altar* mythos pack discussed! The *story* of Blood on the Altar discussed! SPOILER WARNING ENDS

Join Peter and Frank for the twelfth episode of Drawn to the Flame, in which they take a brief moment - a respite from the storm of horrors, if you will - to reflect on what their steadfast investigators have endured so far, and to ponder what fresh devilry the Dunwich Legacy campaign holds for them. This episode is a conversational, "watercooler" discussion, taking in the larger themes and story of the campaign.

Episode 11: Agnes Baker

She leads a peaceable life, waiting tables and getting by - at least she used to. But lately her dreams have spoken to her of times long past and places distant and terrible to behold. In that Hyperborean world, in those visions, she is no mere waitress, but a sorceress of fey and dreadful power. And now she feels that power stir within her blood...

Yep, that's right, ladies and gents, she's Agnes Baker, everyone's favourite waitress/witch. In this episode of Drawn to the Flame, Frank and Peter discusses this mysterious and deadly mystic. What does she do? How does she do it? And should she ever delve too deep?

SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Blood on the Altar mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards up to Essex County Express.

Episode 10: Frank's First Look at Blood on the Altar

WARNING: Discussion of Blood on the Altar player cards in this episode!

SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Blood on the Altar mythos pack. We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards from the core set up to Essex County Express.

In this episode, Frank looks at the player cards from Blood on the Altar, released 13 April, and gives his first impressions. This episode isn't meant to be a definite review, just Frank working some hunches and running his keen eye over what he finds. Tune in to snatch some first impressions.

Episode 9: Esoteric Devices I

SPOILER POLICY: we'll happily discuss player cards up to and including the Essex County Express mythos pack (still a mouthful). We'll skirt around encounter cards included in that pack, but talk freely about encounter cards from the core set up to Miskatonic Museum (we don't discuss the museum scenario in any detail in this episode though).

Esoteric Devices I: Adaptable & Delve Too Deep

In this episode of Drawn to the Flame, Peter and Frank start a new occasional series on the podcast: the close consideration of just a couple of player cards in Arkham Horror: The Card Game. Working title for these sorts of episodes is 'Esoteric Devices' and they're a chance for us to consider some of the mechanics and structuring of the game in greater detail, as well as the ways that particular cards can warp our expectations of how a card game works.
