ARCADIA 29
🕑 Added 2023-06-28 17:30:01 +0000 UTCHello Patrons,
It is I, your James Introcaso, with a brand-spanking-new ARCADIA table of contents. This issue has been cooked up by some of the industry’s best authors, editors, consultants, artists, and testers, so let’s dive into the buffet of gaming goodness.
Cover Art by Patrik Hell
We got your adventure right here. This incredible image has so much epic detail that I could stare at it for hours dreaming up stories. The tiefling. The dragon. The bats! This is a scene I have to work into my games. I definitely need to make an illrigger based on the warrior on this cover.
What Lies Beneath by Indrani Ganguly
Go deep below the waves and behold three new sea creatures inspired by South Asian mythologies—Buddhist, Hindu, and Newar stories.From loyal guardians (the mighty makara), to mythical cornucopias (the prismatic Randhanu), all the way to a ferocious three-headed sea serpent (the draconic vritnaga), you’ll have plenty of original critters to bring your seafaring adventures to life. Did we mention that Randhanu can get big enough to swallow a tarrasque?
Dungeon Invasions by Chris Bissette
You planned your session and sat down to play, but the players blasted through all of your encounters and you still have an hour left to fill. “Dungeon Invasions” presents three surprise boss enemies to drop into your games at a moment’s notice. If you’re familiar with the recurring monsters that just won’t die in horror movies and video games, then this is the article for you! Say hello again and again to the Bleeder, the Terraformer, and the Mutator.
A Spirit Across Seas and Stars by Bianca Bickford
When the characters come into possession of the Marcuria, a sentient sailing ship, they can embark on an adventure to fully awaken the vessel and unlock its ability to soar through the skies and to new worlds. This narrative outline provides adventure ideas, NPCs, and more to help you weave the story of the Marcuria throughout your campaign.
You can come hang out on Discord and Reddit to talk with a bunch of other MCDM fans about ARCADIA, The Illrigger, Beastheart and Monstrous Companions, Kingdoms & Warfare, Strongholds & Followers, Flee, Mortals!, and the upcoming MCDM RPG!
Gotta get back to making those mortals run for their lives!
