News From Around Arcadia

The Arcadia News Network is an un-bias, true-news media outlet reporting all the major stories from around Arcadia!

News From Dicing with Death

The hunger and wrath of winter has begun to unfold. The most recent Dicing with Death begun with Malcifer outside the Keep of Sardinia. The Keep would end up being taken by the undead hoard. Within was treasure but more important than the treasure, there was the dead. The dead would be the real treasure as it was growth for the hoard. Following the conquering of Sardinia Malcifer would return home. As the session wrapped up we would end on the cliff hanger of Malcifer being ambushed by a mysterious force within the luxury of his own estate!

News From Gnomes, Tomes & Catacombs

The most recent episode of Gnomes, Tomes and Catacombs was packed with action! Early on the party saves a Knight who was slaved by a group of Hobgoblins. As a reward each party member is given something unique.

For Barbo’s reward he would send the knight on a quest to find him magic boots. Midori would receive animals to sacrifice. Gerald was told he’d be able to trade spells with a caster in the family and Locke, a magic sword.

The strangest of these rewards would be Midori’s live stock. Seems strange but the animal would be sacrificed to Voraci and as a boon Voraci would increase Midori’s strength.

As the session progressed we would see Barbo solo a giant. Additionally the session would end with the party investigating a skeleton of a giant snake. As the party was ready to declare there’s nothing special about it, the snake would reach out to attack Locke and that is where the session ended.

News From Shenanigans

It has been two weeks since we have published an article here at ANN and a lot has gone down in Shenanigans. A lot of times I think people view Shenanigans as this comical unserious show. While it does have its laughs I would say the story of Shenanigans over these past two weeks may be the most impressive of all the Arcadiaverse shows.

If you haven’t watched the last two weeks they are a must watch. We are actually going to take a different approach and spoil almost nothing. What we will say is “VampireS” and a direct Gnomes, Tomes and Catacombs tie in.

Additionally we will say the episode two weeks ago was a solo featuring Doreen played by Nick and then this past week was Doreen again with Bastian by her side playing Big Bad Cane. People may not realize it but these two characters are two of the longest lived characters in the Arcadiaverse at the moment.

<<Check out two weeks ago session here>>

<<Check out this week’s session here>>

If you Havnt seen them and are going to watch them do avoid the Shenanigans Discord Chat until your up to speed.

We believe in these two session so much that we are giving this weeks “Player Character of the Week” award to Bastian for his time as Cane. Why? Well just watch the session. Also let it be noted this is the third time this award is being given. Two out of the Three Times it has been given it has gone to Shenanigans. What’s the point? Shenanigans is more than comedy!

News From Akuba Knights

This past week on Akuba Knights the action was low but the story was deep. Things began with a member of the Sha’zhar family approaching the players. The party is informed on what is taking place around the country politically and tells the party there is an estate they would be safe in up in Yetel. The Party ends up traveling 15 days in game up to Yetel and the session concludes with them resting peacefully in the city.

Hardcore Heros 44

Mctacky has lied to us all. He has Hardcore Heros listed as ended on the Wiki. It’s not true. Good sir Mctacky, If Hardcore Heros is ended why did we have Hardcore Heros episode 44 this past Sunday?

WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND HARDCORE HEROS BE MOVED TO THE ACTIVE SHOWS CATEGORY! 😉

As we revisited Van and Malakia we were treated to a lot of planning, problem solving and intelligence gathering.

The objective is currently to retrieve the demon gorgon from the shadow plane and free The souls from it. So the party needs to build a prison to house it. They then hire nasty gross dwarves to build said prison. Issue though, quarry has been over run with stone Giants. No big deal right? Van and Malakia deal with it no problem. They make light work of it.

Following solving this problem the party goes to copper hill to catch up with Darf and Doris. They gather info there. The plan is now to head to outlast to recruit fighters to take to the shadow plane to aid them in the gorgon endeavor.

In the middle of all this action though there may be an even bigger issues. Malakia doesn’t know it but Van is going behind his back to hire Dwarf body guards to protect their estate. This could spell the end of Arcadia.

A Report on Mctacky from the ANN Field Reporter, Ross Necrobobby

Some may not remember Ross Necrobobby but he is a former Necromancer turned Arcadia News Network Field reported. He had the opportunity to sit down and interview Jaromir the week before he died. Things have been quiet on Necrobobby for sometime. Shortly after he did the interview with Jaromir we sent him to interview Mctacky and he never returned. To be honest we thought he had fallen back into his out path of doing Necromancy. We are happy to report that he is fine and clean. Additionally he has fulfilled his assignment. Kinda. Check out this letter and pictures we received from him.

Dear Boss People of ANN, I am doing fine. I am still clean and Havnt fallen back into necromancy. When I first arrived at Mctacky’s House there was no sign of him until one night when I seen a light in the attic. I scaled the house and peaked inside. What I saw was troubling. Mctacky was in the corner in a fetal position rocking back and forth gazing at this!
