Sadly the low allocation of the new Arkham Horror investigator decks for the UK means DttF aren't able to get our hands on them. Very disappointing! Might mean Arkham content is a bit less frequent over the next few months but we'll find other stuff to talk about I'm sure!

Abracadabra! A new episode pulled out of our hat, just like that! What did the boys think of the refreshed Dexter Drake, and what does he bring to mystics in Chapter 2?

New core set spoilers up from your boys for seeker week! Listen to us talk about them over here: drawntotheflame.podbean.com/e/visions-of...
*unpicking dammit!
Hot takes ahoy from your boys as they talk about first reactions after finishing TDC! Interesting one this week, we have some mixed feelings about the campaign despite really enjoying our time with it. We might be unlocking this all for a while!

Slightly more experimental from your boys this week: we turn our hand to making our own keyword! This was really fun to think about, let us know what you think!
Listen in the normal places or over here:

Jonathan Green is Peter's favourite gamebook author, he does great things with the concept - and we all love Silas. Looking forward to checking this one out!
I jumped to the various Ben Robbins games (Kingdom, Microscope etc.) as hitting the first and last bullets, but A Quiet Year is a really good shout as it is very literal in the 'player Vs environment' area!
New ep from your boys - this week we are rambling through and about campaigns and which ones are good (and, more importantly, WHY)
Stick around for a sudden realisation that we are both now old, literally us doing the private Ryan meme

I still wear my EBR t shirt!
Sad not to be there this year, honestly had a blast demoing with Andrew, he's a good boss!
Flash back for Frank and Peter... This was us once upon a time! Go play Earthborne, it's a good game!
Finally your boys are able to talk about something ASIDE from The Drowned City investigator cards!
We're looking at stat swapping and replacement effects today.

Our final FINAL episode of our The Drowned City first looks! Been a blast looking through these, hopefully us sounding increasingly unhinged as we went through hasn't ruined anyone's enjoyment!
Join us next time when we'll be talking about... Uh... I genuinely don't know?!
Final day of the Neon Hope kickstarter! We really enjoyed this one, with inspiration from Arkham and Gloomhaven creating a really fun gameplay loop and a refreshing theme. www.kickstarter.com/projects/hop...
Huge news from DttF towers: Drawn to the Flame has hit 1 million downloads! Thank you to everyone who has ever listened to us, and all the love and support shown over the years.
See you all at 2 million...!
And we come to the final first look! Peter and Frank look at the neutral cards and weaknesses - there's only a handful there so it's a pretty short one today. Thanks for listening folks, hope you've enjoyed the journey!

Oh god I can't wait! Such a fascinating mix of genres, a coop trick taking with traitors?!
Weird reverse of the usual FFG pattern which has seen them more vulnerable to licences being withdrawn?
😯😯😯
Your boys really burning through these first looks - today we're checking out the GUARDIANS of The Drowned City! Check it out in the usual places
Just want to thank @drawntotheflame.bsky.social for giving me stuff to listen to on a lazy Sunday evening.
I assume that most people familiar with the Arkham Horror LCG will have heard of them, if not, check them out.
Glad to help - the perfect podcast slot, in my (professional?) opinion!
