Episode 305: Think on your Feet XLIII
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
Tune in for Think on your Feet XLIII, in which the play through of The Innsmouth Conspiracy, featuring Subject 5U-21, continues.
In Think on your Feet episodes, a live play series, 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.

Join Frank and Peter as they continue their discussion of efficiency and build on it to look at the concept of failing forwards. What is failing forwards and how does it pertain to Arkham? More strikingly, how do reward mechanics influence and direct decks and play patterns?
NB: there's an audio quirk on this episode - Frank's mic has gone doolally and he's somewhat quiet. Apologies; it'll be rectified on the next episode.

Thursday Apr 13, 2023
Thursday Apr 13, 2023
CONTENT WARNING: this is a face-check playthrough, so it may contain shocking content.
Join Frank for Think on your Feet XL, in which Amanda Sharpe concludes her sci-fi journey in Dark Matter, a fan-made campaign for Arkham Horror: The Card Game.
In Think on your Feet episodes, a live play series, 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.
Timestamps:
0.00 intro, setup, act, agenda
6.27 ancestral knowledge and opening hand
9.42 gameplay begins
19.35 I think I misplay: I commit The Eye of Truth from under Amanda to Alienation and pass, which I believe means TEOT should've attached to Alienation and placed both cards in the victory display...
34.00 I seem to become obsessed with the word 'anyhoo'??
51.30 I get in a bit of a tangle but I sort it out.
58.55 I add a resource on the Moonbase Laboratory even though I've carefully made sure not to be there...
1.18.00 My grasp of 'as if' is probably shaky at best, but I'm hoping I'm playing this right and not completely wrecking the scenario...
1.31.00 I miscount actions and shortchange myself one.
1.35.50 Major derp: I could've used the Pallid Mask to move! To... do something at the end! I catch that the Cassilda is once per turn but then forget the Pallid Mask - and I use the Pendant illegally... but I could've used the Pallid Mask so it works out nearly the same?

Episode 277: Think on your Feet XXXVIII
Thursday Jan 05, 2023
Thursday Jan 05, 2023
CONTENT WARNING: this is a face-check playthrough, so it may contain shocking content.
Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXXVIII, in which Amanda Sharpe continues her digital journey in Dark Matter, a fan-made campaign for Arkham Horror: The Card Game.
In Think on your Feet episodes, a live play series, 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.
Timestamps:
0.00 preamble and story
5.50 act and agenda
8.50 Ancestral Knowledge draws
10.10 opening hand
12.25 gameplay begins
23.15 I don't realise the Segments line...
48.55 I miscalculate how Essence of the Dream works... but I would've still passed the test, even if the correct value (6, not 8!)

Thursday Oct 27, 2022
Aconyte Books kindly sent us a free copy of Secrets in Scarlet, a collection of short stories being published to tie in with the release of The Scarlet Keys campaign expansion (for players). So in this episode we interview three authors who have contributed to the collection to ask them about gaming, their stories and what it was like writing for the Arkham Files. We speak to Jason Fischer, Josh Reynolds and Carrie Harris - thank you! - and we hope you enjoy the episode.
