Tune in for Think on your Feet XLVI, 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.

At 44.05 Peter takes a 4-action turn, forgetting he spent an action on the blue key. Somewhere between 44 & 49 minutes, Peter draws a reality acid and forgets to flip Ravenous. Same at 57. So there's a ten-ish minute window where Ravenous is ticking the wrong way. Sometimes these things happen! At 49.20 Peter pathfinds as though locations are connected by adjacency rather than icons, but he spots this and docks actions. Finally, at 1.10.05 Peter draws mysterious chanting and forgets the initiate of Dagon is in play, so fetches an Acolyte. It doesn't make a difference as he finishes that turn...

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?

We avoid scenario-specific spoilers and specific enemy spoilers in the main, flagging up the two times we mention early-campaign things. Otherwise it's spoiler-free and all about the mechanics.

It's another one of our hybrid episodes, where I grab the stream audio from our final The Scarlet Keys player card reveal and share it with you. But that's not all: in this episode, Frank and Peter also discuss how spoiler season has been and some themes from TSK player cards they're looking forward to exploring.
This audio is taken directly from the livestream audio, so it's a little harder for me to edit and clear up some aural infelicity. I hope you enjoy the takes nonetheless!

I don't even know how to label this episode! Is it a Visions of Futures Past? Sort of, because we're revealing cards! Is it an investigator-specific episode? Also yes, because it's all about an investigator! Is it also the audio from a livestream we did? Yes again!

Join Frank for Think on your Feet XXXI, in which Mateo returns to The Boundary Beyond and Heart of the Elders.
In Think on your Feet episodes, a live play series of Arkham Horror: The Card Game, 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.
I spotted two errors. At 33mins, I didn't add a doom to a Hand of the Brotherhood. I did then kill it, so I don't think it made an impact, but it was a mistake. At 53mins, I draw a hex and forget to trigger Chapultapec Hill's reaction. Whoops!

Some things we noticed in the edit: Peter's Trapezohedron testing needs some work - the doubling of testing to play a card... and then taking that cards actual test is hard to track while also recording. So he missed two tests but caught one so finished having only given himself one freebie.

Join Frank and Peter for a first look at one faction's investigator and player cards in The Innsmouth Conspiracy deluxe expansion. Which faction is fifth? (Well, I guess if you've listened to THEI, NNSM, OUTH and CONSP you'll be able to deduce number five!)

Amazing logo courtesy of this guyJoin Frank & Peter for Think on your Feet XXVI, in which they continue exploring the horrors and wonders of The Dream-Eaters.
In Think on your Feet episodes, a live play series of Arkham Horror: The Card Game, 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.
At 18 minutes I take a four-action turn. WTF! At 34.30 and 51.27 I fluff how Practice Makes Perfect works, depriving myself of the card each time. +1 action, -2 cards... I think it works out ok. At 57.50 I get lost on how zero is even and not positive. Sorry! At 1.15.16, Peter takes a trapezohedron test but doesn't take the actual test that follows the trapezohedron test, if you follow. Likewise at 1.34.05 he forgets to take an Unnameable test. As he was 5 up for each test, it's pretty trivial in the scheme of things!
