ARCADIA 19 Table of Contents
🕑 Added 2022-08-17 16:55:59 +0000 UTCHello, MCDM patrons!
It is I, Hannah Rose, here with a big bag of dice and the table of contents from ARCADIA 19!
Cursed Treasures by Jacky Leung with art from Grace Cheung
Surprise your players with three unique magic items that carry insidious curses, ways that stalwart adventurers can purge those curses, and guidance to create your own cursed items. The Boots of Tartarus let you walk across lava and travel into the Ethereal Plane, for the low, low price of possibly being trapped in a labyrinthine demiplane and hunted by chain devils. (Don’t worry about it!)
Divine Trials: Shadows of the Moon by Amber Litke and Sadie Lowry with art from Zuzanna Wuzyk and cartography from Miska Fredman
We have not one, but two co-written articles this month by fan-favorite ARCADIA authors! Amber and Sadie return with the second of three divine mini-dungeons to challenge prospective heroes—this time by making them confront their own fears, faults, and dark reflections. There are monsters lurking in the shadows of past regrets … but those who triumph will emerge with newfound resolve and sagacity.
Break In Case of TPK by Justice Ramin Arman and Anthony Joyce-Rivera with art from Henrik Rosenborg
And last but certainly not least, Justice and Anthony team up to bring you “Break in Case of TPK,” four encounters that make having a TPK sound more appealing than I’d ever have expected. It’s definitely a lifesaver (no pun intended) if the characters rush into a boss fight underprepared and get crushed. These encounters range from a fun get-out-of-dead-free card to a dubious deal—or desperate battle—with a cunning lich.

Finally had a chance to run the Divine Trial in this issue. Wow! It was so much fun and had such great elements that really engaged the players. The authors provided an awesome template/tool to allow a DM to plug and play the trial into an existing campaign.

With my bunch of rogues and warlocks any divine trials could be dramatic. Hmmm...
