ARCADIA 21

Hello, folks! It is I, Hannah Rose, here with the latest issue of ARCADIA just in time for All Hallows’ Eve. Here’s what’s inside:

Cover Art by Nick De Spain

We showed this cover off early, but I just can’t get enough of it. Are the pumpkin minions literally coming out of the lich’s ribcage? That’d be a pretty cool villain action!

Hunting a Myth by Celeste Conowitch with art from Zuzanna Wuzyk

Four classic cryptids, including Mothman himself, reluctantly take center stage in this article of eerie mystery, along with guidance for weaving each of them, or cryptids of your own creation, into your stories. What’s worse than one vengeful murder dog? …The answer lies within.

The Fiendish Regulars by Banana Chan with art from Gustavo Pelissari

Bring some comedic horror—or horrifying comedy?—to your game with three NPCs who each have a unique relationship with the local ruler, despot, or BBEG. The Doomsday Salesperson Loot table is my new favorite table in all 800+ pages of ARCADIA so far. (Is an anti-doomsday toaster worth 15 gp? Probably not, but I want one anyway.)

Puzzling Out the Devil by Sharang Biswas with art from Grace Cheung

When a young man is possessed by a fiend and accidentally murders the exorcist trying to free him, the player characters must step in to complete the ritual and uncover long-hidden family secrets. This short adventure is perfect for players who enjoy social interaction, intriguing puzzles, and uncovering mysteries.

FAQ

Q: How long will I be able to download the ARCADIA PDF attached to this post?

A: Indefinitely. Though this wasn’t the case at launch, our policy has changed. All issues of ARCADIA remain attached to their launch posts. You can read more about it here.

Q: I know someone who wants to get a copy of ARCADIA, but they don't want to use Patreon. Is there somewhere else they can get it?

A: Definitely, and we understand! That's why, when we post the current issue of ARCADIA to Patreon, we add it to the MCDM shop at the same time. :D On the MCDM shop an issue of ARCADIA is $12.

Q: I want to submit an article for ARCADIA. How do I do that?

A: Thanks for your interest, but we don’t accept open submissions — you can check out this post to learn more about how we source articles for ARCADIA.
