ARCADIA 13
🕑 Added 2022-02-23 19:00:06 +0000 UTCHello Hello MCDM Patrons,
It is your James Introcaso, here with ARCADIA 13 for your hungry senses to feast upon. Within these hallowed pages lie the secrets of whimsy, spooky, and—the greatest treasure of all—teamwork.
Cover Art by Nick De Spain
This month’s cover art comes from one of my favorite artists and humans, Nick De Spain. Nick is a full-time MCDM artist who also works with our freelancers. He is very much responsible for the beautiful images you see in ARCADIA month after month. This cover is tied for my favorite ever with ARCADIA 4 from Grace Cheung, another MCDM staff artist. I get some serious metal vibes when I look at this dragon!
Group Maneuvers by Steve Fidler
Has your barbarian ever wanted to toss the fighter into the fray? Have your ranger and rogue asked to fire their arrows at the same to make dodging harder for another target? Want two dragons to overlap their breath weapons at the same time on unsuspecting adventurers? This article provides new teamwork reactions that heroes and their foes can use to make combat more dynamic. Gustavo Pelissari knocked it out of the park with the illustrations in this one!
Monsters of Wonderland by Kat Kruger
Inspired by the works of author Lewis Carroll, this article brings you new whimsical creatures to challenge your players with strange magical abilities. The bandersnatch, hag moth, mome rath, and snark come to life in these stat blocks, and they’re not asking you to join a tea party. Henrik Rosenborg created the delicious art for each of these critters.
Poor Undead Souls by Mario Ortegón
Not all ghosts are the same. Each has their own unfinished business that keeps them in the world of mortals. That’s why this article brings you seven new ghost variants, each with lore, exorcism techniques, new traits and action options, and a sample NPC spirit. Elisa Serio and Faizal Fikri smashed the art for this article.

FAQs
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 currently don’t accept open submissions — you can check out this post to learn more about how we source articles for ARCADIA.
Q: What is this... an FAQ for ANTS? I have a question and it's not one of the ones listed here!
A: Oh no! D: If you need help with anything MCDM-related, email our support inbox (hello@mcdmproductions.com) and we'll respond as soon as we can. We're looking forward to reaching the point where we can bring on a dedicated support team member to help everyone lickety-split, but until we get there we try to check for new messages every week or two. We've got many tools at our disposal, so rest assured that when you hear back from us we will do everything we can to make sure you're taken care of! :)
Comments
Ian Gilzean
Got to say, the two color artwork for the cover makes this an amazing piece, perfect for print.
Cj Dusky
This is the best cover yet! Are there any plans for print versions, or to make covers available as art?
Karl Siddons
Not sure if this has been pitched yet, or if its appropriate, but have you considered adding a "fan's questions" segment to Arcadia? I think it would be fun (and harken back to old magazines) to answer questions from readers about the previous issues of Arcadia or general advise. I have fond memories of writing to magazines and praying that my comments would make it to the next print. As a secondary note, I am in the middle of catching up on my Arcadia issues and its just amazing to see the wonderful effort and work the team puts into these.
Jack O'Brien
I don't know how possible it is to do, but so many of these covers would make DOPE ass shirts! Pls. <3
Greg Lyon
Poison suction cups. I don't know if that was an intentional reference or not, but I appreciate it regardless.
Craig Close
Those magical items are brilliant. Thankyou!
Matthias Havrez
I'm not one to only get hyped for "the next one", and so that's not what I'm doing here, BUT. Now I'm excited for vampires... :)
Jeff Howie
"... a FAQ for ANTS?". LOL!
Victor Hanson
These have been an absolute joy to read over, each and every volume. I am looking forward for what's next, but that's certainly not to say I am not satisfied with what has already been published. From me and my players, a heartfelt thank you for your effort and excellent polish.
Brian Diehl
I cannot wait to get these group maneuvers into my game!
Jakob Joelsson
This cover art!!! *Swoon*
Clay - Kenku Court
This cover combined with the group maneuvers makes this maybe my favorite arcadia ever!
John Sikking
Best Cover Art yet!
Vilhelm Henrichsen
The cover, oh man. Absolutely stunning, my favorite of them all! And the Monsters of Wonderland is great, I love the look of the hag moth.
MCDM Productions
Hey Nick! Good catch. That was an old FAQ that reflected our old ARCADIA prices. Very much my fault! I apologize and have fixed the FAQ. -James
Nick Thorsen
Hi! I noticed that the post FAQ says issues are available for $7 on the store but they're $12
Roman Penna
That is an amazing cover!, and very excited for this issue!
Brian Hughes
Holy crap, that cover is so awesome.
Ciarán Lawless
I'm just gonna repeat what everyone else has said: That fucking cover rules.
Dan Hauswald
Striking cover!
BJ Hillinck
This has got to be my favorite cover yet! Nick did a fantastic job.
Joe Grover
Ooooh that dragon art!
Lane Hillard
Awesome! You guys said a long time ago you would consider print compilations of Arcadia. Maybe one a year or something. Just curious if that is still on the table, I'd be a buyer for sure! Love you guys!
