Drawn To The Flame

Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode. Here we're face-checking the latest standalone scenario, Traces to Nowhere! Here's my deck. 

In Think on your Feet episodes, 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.

0.00 preamble
1.32 scenario introduction
3.30 spoilers and sopranos
4.55 additional scenario rules
6.27 scenario set up
7.45 token bag, act and agenda
10.05 the map
13.01 my deck
13.30 opening hand
14.55 gameplay begins
46.30 a tiny explanatory interlude
1.31.00 wrap-up

At 46.20, even though I read 'into the leads deck' I shuffle the Crooked Cops into the encounter deck. I think I was so Abductor-focused I just glossed over what deck was required. So I play the rest of the scenario with that error, but as you'll discover, I don't think it matters toooo much.
At 1.12.20 I'm not sure I should've revealed a token - I think advancing the agenda trumps the forced effect on agenda 2a. No matter. 
At 1.27.10 I say there's no way of healing horror. Of course, there is: South Church. I have it in my head it's 'group limit once per game' when in fact it's 'group limit once per round'! Turns out remembering everything and reading while recording is hard. Alas!

Join Frank for another instalment of Wondrous Lands, a live play series of Earthborne Rangers. This is the first campaign, Lure of the Valley, solo. As this is recorded live, slips and errors are sure to creep in, so please extend me your understanding - I hope you enjoy the journey alongside me! If you want more of an explainer of the game, check out the first Wondrous Lands episode, where I offer more of a rules explainer. 

You can view the map here, the campaign log here and my deck here.

Join Peter and Frank for another tangential episode. We've been playing a smidge of Spirit Island so we figured we'd dig into what we've been enjoying about it, how it works, what tension in games means to us and how - if at all - it all links back to Arkham for us. Enjoy!

Join Frank for another Think on your Feet episode. Here we're tweaking our Tommy Muldoon deck to take on New Horizons in the middle of the night!
