ARCADIA Q&A Live Tomorrow 1/7 at 11AM Pacific
🕑 Added 2022-01-06 22:16:18 +0000 UTCHey folks! James Introcaso here to let you know that all the authors from ARCADIA 11 will join me for a live Q&A chat this Friday, January 7th at 11AM Pacific US Time. If you haven't seen an ARCADIA Q&A livestream before, you can check out all the previous shows here. Tomorrow, I'll be joined by Sadie Lowry, author of "Angelic Ancestries," Justice Arman, author of "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors," and Rudy Basso, author of "I Cut Off Its Snout."
Since many of ARCADIA's biggest fans are right here on Patreon, we wanted to gather some questions for our guests before the conversation. If you have a question for the authors about their work in ARCADIA, game design, GMing, or anything else, drop it in the comments below. I'll try to ask as many as I can during the stream.
Thanks so much!
—James & the ARCADIA crew

I love watching the Q&A streams and really enjoy James as host. But James' audio in the recordings is always really messed up and very difficult to listen to on headphones. It's been this way for all the ones I've listened to... I can't be the only one who has noticed this. You folks do amazing work and this one little thing really detracts from otherwise great content and production quality. Thank you so much for doing these. I don't mean to just complain but I assume it's a problem others would like fixed as well.

Where can we watch the stream?
For the Editor: How do you select the topics for each issue of Arcadia? Do you start with a theme? Artists? For the writers (might be an editor question): How do you incorporate playtesting corrections/suggestions into your revisions? Do you find this part to be challenging in general or does it depend on the nature of the feedback? Please use examples if you can.
What led to the introduction of the Cooking and Harvesting skills with the "I Cut off its Snout" article? When does a new mechanic warrant a new skill, and when does it use an existing one?

General: Is there an easy way to download the title illustrations to use as Wallpapers? @ Justice: What's the main selling point of the new Heat Rules for Players? I (DM) finds the rules very cool, but my criminal players are so far semi-interested in having new rules to accompany their thiefery.

For Rudy: why does such a hearty meal as pease porridge let you dash? Is this just because adventurers expend so many calories? More seriously: other than fish stew, what led to you choosing the bonuses for the other dishes? Were there any jokes/easter eggs in there?

Indeed, I'd like to know how the PCs can be a fence themselves as a thieves Guild, asking for a friend...

The heat rules seem like they slot nicely into an underground organization in kingdoms and warfare to really start constructing a heist style game. Was that intentional design? Is there anything else you might do to tie the heat system into K&W further?

I just went to the playlist of the Arcadia Q&As on YouTube... Can someone fix those, they seem to be out of order. Issue 1 is at the top then it goes to 9 and then descending from there. It is like a quick 2 minute fix, I would do it if I could lol. Thanks
