Episode 46: Sefina Rousseau

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)

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!

Episode 44: Think on your Feet II

Join Frank for the second Think on your Feet. After suggestions from listeners and a poll on Facebook, Sefina Rousseau has been chosen to take on the challenges of the Dunwich Legacy.

As with Think on your Feet I, I've dived straight in and got to the meat of playing. Unlike Think on your Feet I, Sefina is a far more tricksy investigator to pilot than Roland, so there are certainly some pauses and challenges with flow and best lines. As before, it's meant to sound real - so you might pick up the sound of traffic, or tokens being shifted, or droplets of sweat dripping from my brow as I fret...

Here's the level 0 version of the deck: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/88127. There are some odd choices there; I talk about (most of) them in the episode. 

Here's the deck after scenario 1: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/100374

Scenario 1 begins at 3 minutes. Scenario 2 begins at almost exactly 50 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 glad to share these episodes with you!

Episode 43: Spending Experience

In this episode, Peter and Frank look into spending experience. They think about upgrading strategies, ways of approaching experience, looking at team composition and wrestle with a good answer for what's best to cut. They try to fill the episode with good examples, too, for which you can be the judge...
