Join Frank and Peter as they return to the woodland of Root and the distant reaches of space for Arcs. We've been playing lots of both games by Leder Games, and thought we'd reflect on the experience and some of how it links to Arkham (or not).

Join Peter and Frank for their post-Drowned City takes.

Join Frank and Peter as they look at a new keyword for Arkham that yes, doesn't exist, and yes, is made up by them, but also hopefully makes for interesting discussion around what makes a good keyword and the copious design space in the game.  Amazing logo courtesy of this guy Join Drawn to the Flame on Patreon:  www.patreon.com/drawntotheflame Buy Drawn to the Flame shirts, jumpers and mugs: www....

Join Frank and Peter as they puzzle over: how does one evaluate a campaign? What makes a good campaign? Is it something we can even judge? And what leads to a campaign being ranked 'bad'? Who comes up with this stuff?

Join Peter and Frank as they talk about some of the things on Duke's mood board for The Drowned City. When we spoke to Duke last year, he mentioned a range of media and we've jumped in to look at The Call of Cthulhu, The Doom that Came to Sarnath, Arrival, Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, Scavengers Reign and Evil Dead, and talk about them all and how they relate to The Drowned City. BEWARE: spoilers...

Join Frank and Peter as they take stock of preview season so far. What's catching their eye with The Drowned City? What are the new investigators like? What does the return of myriad augur?

Tune in for Think on your Feet XLVII, in which the play through of The Innsmouth Conspiracy, featuring Subject 5U-21, concludes.  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...
