ARCADIA 21 | October 2022

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 we 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 our new favorite table in all 800+ pages of ARCADIA so far. (Is an anti-doomsday toaster worth 15 gp? Probably not, but we 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.
