⚠️ warning!!! spoilers to everything ahead ⚠️

Homeward Bound

April 7th we recieved a treat no one expected. A sequel to the Frozen Frontier, Homeward Bound. The End of FroFro threw alot of us off. We thought it was the awakening of the Winter Gods. Turns out we were wrong. Instead, what was left of the party was transported to another plane. It would then be confirmed that Hero’s Graveyard was a sequel to FroFro.

When Homeward Bound went live on the 7th I think everyone thought it would be the initial days in Faerun. We were wrong. We were very wrong. The exact location is uncertain. We can probably just call it hell as there are massive demons with like 15+ to hit. There are a lot of unanswered questiond about Hobo at the moment but I reached out to McTacky for his professional sage opinion. His main theory is the players are on the 2nd Prime Material Plane, AKA home of demons. That’s pretty much hell though right? Kinda?

Hardcore Heros

A FroFro sequel isnt the only spin off we have been getting. Someone needs to demand to McTacky that Hardcore Heros needs to be restored to the active shows on the Wiki Listing! There have been three Hardcore Heros episode this year and all of them have been golden!

Episode 44: The Party worked on and built the prison to house a demon that they plan to capture from the plane of shadow.

Episode 45: The Queen Vuaria Wikk has Van come and bless a royal baby. While at the castle Van adds to the royal line by putting a baby in the youngest daughter of Queen Vuaria Wikk!

Episode 46: FINALLY!!!! The Airship has entered the equation. This episode is all about Malakia doing his thing up on the Wizard Airship.

If you havnt seen these three episodes stop what you are doing and go watch them now!

Gnomes, Tombs and Catacombs

Gnomes, Tomes and Catacombs has officially come to an untimely end. Since last time we covered the show a lot of major crap went down. There was a cross over that featured Malakia aiding the GT&C cast. It wasnt an NPC version of Malakia. It was legit with Nick hopping into their session. You may ask why would they need Malakia’s help? Well when Count Viscious approaching with his army because you just stole his philosphers stone…. I think you get the idea!

Following the crossover The GT&C cast would find themselves carrying out a mission for Queen Kiara Sanguine. They would head towards Heatstroke to get the 411 of what is going on there and additionally try to determine if Count Viscious is involed with the demons. Sadly the players didnt make it to heatstroke but what they found what horrifiying.

The land is transfoming into some fleshy type material with spots that spawn demon hoards. It is believed by McTacky that the Demons are Terraforming the world into something different!

It is uncertain what the narrative for the player characters will be with the show meeting an end. Will they continue their mission? Reports state the Devin Nash who played Gerald said Gerald would be down to stay in the service of the queen. Additioanlly here is what Mr Mouton had to say about what is next for Barbo!

Akuba Knights

Things have defintley shifted heavily in Akuba Knights. The party had been serving as mercenaries when they got a break of sorts. Those they were working for captured Yassi and tasked the players to take her to Drekis as an Akuban Ambassador to the Queen and they did just that.

On the way they slayed a Wyvern. Upon arriving in Drekkis, Bud would lead the family further. They would step out from the shadows and drop the truth on the Queen as to who they were. Bud would try and establish a peace between the nations. In the process the Queen would task the players with killing to young black dragon. The last session ended with the players offing these two black dragons. Thankfully everyone is still alive! Tune in next time and hopefully we will get to see Nekka die!

Shenanigans

Sometimes people under estimate the cannon of Sheningans. It is cannon and a shaper of the world of Arcadia. Don’t believe me? Well when you look at the above details of the Akuban Knights slaying two young black dragons, this is a direct spin off from the 89th episode of Shennigans. The before mentioned Dragons nested in Lake Nereid. Fast Forward to this weeks Shenanigans and we saw a return to Lake Nereid once more. We wernt dealing with Dragons. Instead Bullywugs and these Bullywugs were lit. We here at the Arcadia News Network believe Neal may be standing in front of a Mirror practicing his Bullywug RP a couple hours a day because it was on point!

DwD: Malcifer

The Malcifer Arch has ended.

Malcifer, our Necromancer Overlord has accomplished all of his goals. He has liberated the island of Gadia. Worship of the Winter Gods is Lawful and Malcifer is King of Winter, King of Gadia.

This is a victory for the people and proof that the Winter Gods are real! All Hail the Winter Gods! Next time Neal says they arnt real, just remember #WeAreGadia and here in Gadia we woship the true gods!

What is next for Dicing with Death?

McTacky’s Conspiracy Corner

Kingdom of Voraci ^^^

New Shows on the Horizon?

With Gnomes, Tomes and Catacombs ending this opens a slot for a new show. What if I told you there are rumors of not only one new show but two?

Before GT&C ended, at the end of episode 19 Neal went on recorded saying he was considering adding a new show to the schedule as he had a time slot open. Then one week later GT&C ended. Could we be getting two new shows now?

If so what do we know about them? Honestly not much. Here’s what we at The Arcadia News Network know.

1) Neal has been done some 5E campaign prep post-GT&C 🤔

2) We here at The Arcadia News Network have been informed from several sources Destiny is interested in running another show with Neal but with a new cast. Early reports say Destiny wants iNcontroL. There is no official word or not on if this is actually happening.

3) going back to episode 19 of GT&C upon mentioning a possible new project Devin Nash quickly chimed and expressed a desire to “talk offline.”

As you can see the information we have on this subject is limited. Regardless though, whatever the next chapter is for Arcadia I am sure it will be a masterpiece!
