Drawn to the Flame

Hey folks!

For your info, Facebook is becoming something both of us are frequenting less and less, and there may come a time where we decide to move our social media presence away fully.

If you want to be kept up to date on what we're up to you can of course join our patron-only discord, which you get access to at *any* tier of support:
https://www.patreon.com/drawntotheflame

You can also follow us over on bluesky at: https://bsky.app/profile/drawntotheflame.bsky.social

Nothing is happening to the podcast itself, we're still playin' and talkin' Arkham sometimes monthly, sometimes fortnightly. Thanks for all the support!

We're a podcast in which we discuss Arkham Horror: The Card Game, a cooperative card game of Lovecraftian horror. Frank https://bsky.app/profile/ephbee.bsky.social Peter https://bsky.app/profile/unitled.bsky.social https://drawntotheflame.podbean.com/

No new episode this week, but incase you missed it last week we published our FINAL PART of our interview with Duke!

We go full spoiler this time, diving into what on earth he was thinking when he made Feast of Hemlock Vale AND giving us a tiny wee sneaky peek at what's coming in The Drowned City...

Picture today courtesy of discord user FLASHBLOODSTORM who wrote us a (in parts) FIENDISHLY difficult quiz for our end of year Patreon celebrations last week. This wee guy was the prize!

Thank you everyone who dialled in, and join us in January for the first game night of 2025!

And here he is, the long wait finally over! It's GEORGE BARNABY! You'll be able to get your hands on him when The Drowned City lands next year.

Listen to our thoughts over here:

It's been a while since the boys were this jazzed about an investigator, it's a long ep for a spoiler ep and, honestly, we could have talked for longer!

Thank you for FFG for sharing the cards so we could reveal them to you, and keep your eyes on your other favourite creators as there is a LOT left to come!

Finally a well done to the diligent Matt Crawley who spotted what we were building up to way back on Monday...!

This week your boys are heading directly to the HOT TAKE tap and filling their COMICALLY OVERSIZED BOOTS!

GASP in HORROR as they speculate wildly on how the future of the game! HOWL with DELIGHT as they give their boldly ill-informed reactions to the new investigators! SCREAM as you desperately try to SCOOP your BRAINS back into your head with their unrehersed thoughts on new player cards!

Most of the info we're talking about is from here, but we picked up a little bit of gossip from other sites and from comments the designers have made - no unofficial leaks!

Post from your boy Peter here!

What an awesome weekend here at Tabletop Scotland - blobs ate, outer gods warred, and midwinters were gala'd, but... We came out successful!

Best event we've run and incredible that it's their first in that venue - we think it all ran pretty smoothly?!

Thank you to everyone that came, locals and non locals alike - we were an impressively large crowd and was gratifying to here the chorus when the blob fell!

More than one person commented on how welcoming the other players were, and several folks who've only played solo or with small local groups I think have picked up bigger groups to play with - an outcome we couldn't be happier with! My only disappointment was not getting enough time to just chat to folks.

A real highlight was meeting the cast from Los Archivos de Arkham - never met a crew as dedicated to the game and their generosity of spirit was beautiful. We're already planning a return trip to Madrid...!

Special thanks to the 'organising committee': Egoitz and David from Los Archivos, Dave and Andy from Edinburgh Board Gamers, and of course my buddy Frank. So much hard work before, during, and after the event to make sure it ticked along!

Already have some thoughts about what could be done differently in 2025 *if* we run this again, but for now, once again, THANK you for your support and hope everyone that came had a great time!
