I need more of a preview than a character sheet if I’m going to consider buying it.

Hello

Which D&D official subclasses are compatible with this setting?

Great book! I have been using it the past few months to add depth and additional lands to my modified Theros campaign.

Just picked this up, very impressed. The artwork is impeccable, the thought that's gone in is impressive (making Gladiator an archetype of Monk was inspired). Do you have any further work for this planned? Two things would crank my handle.

1. An additional archetype for each class to re-inject a bit of choice into character build.
2. A revamp of the spells to be most setting flavourful. I know the book itself suggests the GM should do exactly that, but I am time poor.

I've always preferred Jason and the Argonauts style fantasy to cod-mediaeval, and this admirably scratches that itch. Maybe do the same for Arabian Nights style fantasy?

It seems Drivethrurpg was having trouble showing previews. It should work now. You can also check out the class archetypes PDF for free.

Is there any relation to Odyssey of the Dragonlords? I noticed even the publisher's name is similar.

There is no relation. Arkadia was released nearly a year before Odyssey of the Dragonlords.

Fun little read. Solid art. A fair amount of content to customize your PCs but nothing insane.

I will say I found some of the subclass options a little overtuned and would probably need to be brought down in power level to be even with existimg material.

I have a question regarding the Cleric. On page 27, you can get a bronze scepter as equipment, but the bronze scepter isn't mentioned ever again. Is this a error? Is it supposed to be a bronze mace you can get?

Does this use its own pantheon of gods, or is it set up to use ancient Greek gods?

Arkadia is a unique fantasy setting. While the gods and city states are inspired by those of Ancient Greece, it is very intentionally its own world with its own mythology.

I bought this book to use with The Fate of the Oracle adventure I bought on Roll20. It didn't have a player handout included in the download. Do you have a players handout that has both the races and classes included in this setting? I was able to find the free class guide handout and the free handout for the Minotaur race, but not a handout for the rest of the race options. Thanks.

Hi Jamie,

Thank you so much for purchasing our setting and adventure! There's not a separate PDF handout for the races outside of the core Arkadia setting book. The Roll20 adventure includes race handouts attached to the pre-generated character tokens. :)

Love the book. One thing I am unclear on, though. With Gift of Forms for the Circle of Beasts, does the CR of the beast you can change the willing target into increase as your own Wild Shape improves?

It does not increase. When using Gift of Forms to change a willing creature, it is always CR 1/4 or lower.

Thank you for your reply! That is amazing. Cant wait to try it out.

One final question. Any plans for handouts (like island maps, ships etc) ?

Hello Daniel,

It has just about everything you need to play (aside from the core rules). Players who are familiar with 5e should have no trouble using only this book to play a game in Arkadia.

Nice stuff but ... whoa for a 45€ (or 14€ for the PDF) pricetag for the Hardcover, there is actually not that much in there.

This product is awesome....very inspiring! By simply reading random pages and remembering my mythic literature, I was instantly inspired to create scenarios for my PCs to venture forth.
Five Stars!

Purchased directly from Arcana Games' home site – super solid setting! The world is left open enough for GM's to create their own stories or even insert the continent of Arkadia into extant games. There are a plentitude of story hooks to delve into, as well as monsters and magic items to give this a real sense of place. Mechanically, the races are similar but different enough from the standard 5e races to make their distinct cultures come alive and alter one's play experience. The new class archetypes and feats are a joy. Overall, quite pleased.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
