Episode 24: Wendy Adams

She's got no one to rely on but herself (... and maybe a stray cat or two). Carrying her mother's amulet wherever she goes, she's doing her best to stave off the encroaching terrors and roaming creatures in Arkham, Massachusetts, and beyond. To look at her, she's but a child, yet she's not entirely unprepared for combating the dark things of the mythos, as there's something of the trickster to her, too: yes, this episode of Drawn to the Flame is all about the wonderful urchin Wendy Adams.

Join Peter and Frank in this investigator-specific episode of Drawn to the Flame, in which they look at Wendy Adams, the game's first survivor, and talk about her strengths, weaknesses and the tricks up her sleeve.

SPOILER POLICY: The player cards of the most recent pack (The Path to Carcosa) are fair game (but we don't discuss them). We try to stay one pack behind in terms of encounter card spoilers (Lost in Time and Space - but we don't discuss it, either).

Episode 23: What's the Deal with the King in Yellow?

Join Frank and Peter for this, episode 23 of Drawn to the Flame. In anticipation of the upcoming release of Arkham Horror's second deluxe expansion, The Path to Carcosa, yours hosts look at Robert W Chambers' short-story collection The King in Yellow, particularly the stories The Repairer of Reputations, The Mask, In the Court of the Dragon and The Yellow Sign.

Who was Hastur? Where is Lake Hali? And who - or what - is the Pallid Mask? In addition to looking at the motifs and motivations of the stories themselves, Peter and Frank consider how such weird and supernatural elements might be implemented in the card game.

SPOILER POLICY: The player cards of the most recent mythos pack (Lost in Time and Space) are fair game. We try to stay one pack behind in terms of encounter card spoilers (Where Doom Awaits). Currently, as the Dunwich Legacy cycle has come to an end, we're in limbo. In this episode, we don't really discuss cards that much...
