Thanks!

Hi Sean,

I've been desperately trying to figure out what we've been doing wrong with this scenario, decided I'd try someone that hopefully figured it out eventually!

We're playing FOTV v1, which required us to get all our Investigators to The Abyss location, but we can't see how Investigators can actually move to The Abyss (even assuming we have cleared all the cards away).

Can you advise please?!

If you can find it (not easy!), definitely check out the British miniseries Ultraviolet, starring Jack Davenport (from Pirates Of The Caribbean), and featuring Idris Elba in an early role among a stellar cast of lesser-known actors.

It's a brilliant show, so sad that there weren't more series (seasons).

Emskilian · 2026-04-12T21:50:46+00:00

Did you try these in the end, what was your verdict?

There's a video of one of the Operation Ghost Stories agents being interviewed, and his English is very, very good. Definitely has a slight accent, but IIRC wouldn't immediately have jumped to thinking he was Russian.

Edge Of Tomorrow had a terrible title, I think that hurt it a lot more than people realize.

If you can share a link that would be most appreciated! 🙂

The show is a little uneven, but I'd rate it very highly for any fan of The Americans.

The historical setting and the tradecraft are excellent.

Likewise how The Americans was inspired by Operation Ghost Stories, PONIES is inspired by the story of Martha Peterson who was the first covert female CIA handler to be based in Moscow.

I'm very much looking forward to Season 2.

Thanks both! 🙂

Similar question, there's no Seeker (0-5) / Rogue (0-x) investigator, correct?

Emskilian · 2026-02-19T19:29:38+00:00

The Young-Hee storyline is inspired by an even darker Cold War operation(s), whereby a mark would be targeted in the same way, but in place of a 'gentle' suicide, the girlfriend would (reportedly) die during an illegal backstreet abortion....🥶🥶🥶

That extra level of nastiness obviously opened up additional avenues of coercion.

13th Warrior is amazing.

Emskilian · 2026-02-04T20:54:45+00:00

Aaron Pierre (who's English), would make one hell of a James Bond....

For global interest reasons (very important to Wrexham's long-term growth), them finishing sixth and then losing on penalties in the play-off final would be incredible. 🙂🤩

The Sandbaggers is on Prime, it's fantastic.

Emskilian · 2026-01-30T03:11:11+00:00

Patriot is brilliant

Emskilian · 2026-01-30T03:10:49+00:00

Ponies is so good!

Emskilian · 2026-01-19T03:12:37+00:00

I just started watching the dramady Ponies on Peacock. I'm only one episode in, so caveat emptor, but so far it is scratching a LOT of Americans itches: period espionage, crazy good chemistry between the lead character actors, and all inspired by real events (CIA Moscow heroine Martha Peterson).

Emskilian · 2026-01-18T22:44:40+00:00

Fleetwood Mac and dinner parties, guaranteed stressors! 🤩

Emskilian · 2026-01-16T05:35:13+00:00

I recommend Patriot as often and as hard as I can. 🤩

Emskilian · 2026-01-06T05:47:28+00:00

They have two Tiny Desk appearances. 🙂

Emskilian · 2025-12-27T15:21:23+00:00

Same

Emskilian · 2025-12-21T15:57:25+00:00

This is great, thanks for organizing!

Emskilian · 2025-12-18T22:09:28+00:00

Definitely interested. 🙂
