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...
