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!

Episode 351: Cascade | Drawn To The Flame 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...

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!

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!

Episode 350: Survey the Area | Drawn To The Flame 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...

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

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!
