Hey Awesome MCDM Patrons,

It’s James Introcaso again! We want to know what you think about ARCADIA, so we put together a survey about the first three issues and beyond. Your responses will help us plan future issues and deliver dope, actionable content.

If you only do the required questions, it should only take about 10 minutes to answer the survey. But if you want to leave us more feedback, we’ll totally take it. There are a few open-ended questions where you get as specific as you’d like. We really want to know what you think.

No matter how you choose to answer, it's completely anonymous and we’re grateful for your honest feedback. Thank you!

—James

I cannot wait to see where this goes! Super cool stuff being done here and I'm so glad to be along for the ride!

Sound_Tech

All filled out, looking forward to the next one!

Brandon H

I'm a big fan of this format. I hope you are seeing the numbers you need to continue publishing cool content in Arcadia!

Jeremy Shaffer

Honestly Arcadia has made me the happiest I've been in years

Emilia Rinaldi

Survey done! I think Arcadia is fantastic and really hope you are seeing a positive enough response to make you continue doing it.

Matt Chisolm

Never realized I needed this (: now I’m super excited and hoping you get what you need to keep it going!

Tegan J Gaming

Really enjoy Arcadia! I put it in the survey but my favorites so far have been the monster blocks and new subclasses. Would definitely love more of those in the upcoming issues!

Erik Cameron

Looking forward to more arcadia Answers to Q14 might be biased because when people saw Q15 they probably changed their answer on 14 to 'published' so that they could tell you their favourite setting Q19 doesn't include discord

Landon The DM

My only complaint is that I could only select 3 for the things I was most excited to use or have already used haha :P

Nikolaus Carey

Y'all are killin' it. Can't wait to see what ye do next.

pepper-jk

For how long will this survey stay open? I'd like to participate, but wont have time until the weekend.

Kelby

I didn't want to have to select 3 things i liked least ... its pretty much all dope. So apologies in advance to authors :)

Magical Mishap

The hardest question was what I liked least and you didn't have the "I love everything option".

james canniffe

Really good survey. my only quibble is with the final question, I get my news about RPG products from a number of places so just selected the most common one. Either way, loved Arcadia and really excited for some of the stuff the survey hinted at.

Fighting Chance Studio

All done! Really hoping more adventures make an appearance in future issues!

Lennart Peters

That's interesting. Personally i find Adventures nice to have. And sometimes really cool and interesting (Workshop Watches!). But in general i enjoy other more diverse content over the adventures .-.

Memory of Ord

I find the adventures to be the most actionable content, by far. I can drop them into a campaign (if they are level appropriate), or run them as a fun one-shot. Ultimately, they let me do a bit more sandbox (or even semi-open-world) style campaign without actually doing a lot of prep. A lot of the other stuff takes a lot to work into my setting though... granted, this will likely change once we play in person again. New subclasses, for example, seem like a nightmare to work into VTT compared to running the adventures with the map files easily available.

Claire Buzzelli

I'm a little guilty there! But also, I have kind of a complicated relationship that boils down to I love using official settings after they potentially undergo edits, and when I confine my focus to an area that is small enough for me to be able to do sufficient research to ensure I don't miss something big about some aspect of the setting. I initially marked "homebrew" because I do tend to edit out a lot of colonialism and sexism out of official content or just make a wholly new setting, but then I swapped to "published" to reflect the ideal wherein I would love to run official settings more if I like them and there's less viscerally uncomfortable language printed in their lore... and to indicate that I factually adore Theros.

Brian Case

Is there a way to edit my survey response?

Erik Cameron

I did a similar with Planescape, since I run a homebrew campaign but all my homebrew is technically set in the Planescape cosmology when the players do planar travel. Really a setting is like any module or supplement, take the bits you want and insert your own nonsense to make it better, reclaim in for a broader audience like you have, etc

Fighting Chance Studio

I have to agree with you, John. I keep a notebook with one shot adventures just so I can pull it out if my players want to go off the path or need a break from the main story.

Trying out Virgil

You asked how frequently I watch Running the Game videos, but didn't give an option for watching each one multiple times, so I had to pretend I only "watch every video".

Eric

One thing I wanted to mention after watching the livestream about this is, how many DMs aren't sharing because they don't want their players to know where they've stolen their inspiration from? I know I like to look brilliant by using obscure MCDM tips. I do think it would be really cool to have future editions divided into Player and DM sections so people who don't want to spoil adventures, new monsters or other stuff easily know where not to go.

Mats Burhammar

I am slightly dissapointed there wasn't a question that was "NO QUESTION!". But I really liked the breakdown on twitch. Some super interesting conclusions there.

Daniel Dias

Where can I find the code to get the Magazine in the mcdm Shop? Didn't get it in my email

Courtney De Barros

I wanted to reiterate on this as well - I've had the same experience

Robert Wyatt

I realize, looking at some older magazines, there was something I should have included in the survey. The magazine needs a comic strip! I've always loved the little comic strips that many magazines have tucked away in them. (Doesn't have to be anything serious like a multipage full blown thing, just a little 3-6 panel thing.) Even if it was just a gag strip about Matt DMing, or the Chain doing little side things that aren't "exciting" at all, or even one that somehow incorporated the articles from each issue into it.
