Hello everyone!

It’s James Introcaso back with huge news. We are beyond thrilled to announce that the Kingdoms & Warfare PDF is now available on the MCDM Shop and emails with download links are being sent out in waves to our Kickstarter backers and those who preordered!

Kingdoms & Warfare is a 320-page fifth edition supplement that allows players to build and run an organization while adventuring. Player domains take on villainous realms in shadowy intrigues and build armies to battle tides of enemies. Lead a thieves’ guild, holy church, noble court, or other organization to victory against a hag coven, undead dominion, or draconic empire (or... gnomes riding squirrels?)!

Characters are still adventurers, but the stakes are higher. That dragon doesn’t just threaten you. It endangers your people. Dive into the new rules in this full-color book that includes new action-oriented monsters, magic items (including epic codices), and a complete adventure that teaches you how to use domain intrigue and warfare.

You’re not just responsible for your party anymore.

A hardcover version of Kingdoms & Warfare is coming, but right now shipping and printing are a mess because of the pandemic. The MCDM team is working super hard to get the books out, and will be sharing additional information through Kickstarter Updates. In the meantime, please check out the preview pages on the shop (and as a reminder, if you pick up the Kingdoms & Warfare hardcover, it includes the PDF which you'll be able to download and enjoy immediately)!

We couldn’t have done this without an enormous team that includes the entire MCDM staff, freelancers, and volunteer playtesters. Everyone put in an enormous effort to bring this PDF to you. You can find their names in the credits of the book and there's a whole list of folks to follow on Twitter.

If you like ARCADIA, you’re really going to love Kingdoms & Warfare. It has so much usable content you can drop into your game! It bursts with new ideas from a lot of amazing writers and levels up your game, turning characters from adventurers into leaders.

If you'd like to see more, there’s over 20 preview pages on the shop. Or you can head on over to the MDCM Discord and our subreddit and see what people are saying about it.

Did I mention that ARCADIA 6 is really close to coming out? Well… that’s another update.

—James and the Kingdoms & Warfare Crew

Woot woot! Celebrations all around!

Triglav Games

HELL YEAH! HAIL MYMNOS! HAIL THE COLVILLAIN!

Knox

Wooooooot!!

Otto’s Workshop

Started the day rough, then this email came out. Can not wait to load this up on my iPad!

Jeremiah Coones

So glad I pre-ordered when I had the extra funds

Goudawgs

Oh hell yeah, looking forward to reading through it tonight after work

Landon The DM

Nice, can't wait for the Hardcover to arrive as well!

Alisa Heletka

Hope it'll get to me soon, got nothing yet (pre-ordered in backerkit)...

Daniel Clements

Haven't had much chance to give a proper read but holy hells so much beautiful art <3 Above and beyond as always!

Knox

OMG!! This is looking good. The updated warfare rules are to die for.

Jonathan Cox

Sweet , going to be adding this into my games! by chance will we get a printer friendly version of the party sheet at some point?

B. J. Boyd

At some point, I’d love a video series on how you use both Strongholds & Followers and Kingdoms & Warfare in tandem.

HaroldHogmen

The dwarven paladin of Hanseath in my game just started construction on his erstablishment. In true dnd fashion, he's building a tavern. Naming it after the kobold he rescued in one of our first adventures during this campaign. I'm excited to see his response when he gets to roll on the retainer table.

Mike Pond

I also pre-ordered in backerkit and I haven't received it yet either. So you're not alone.

Joey Z

So uh...am I the only one that was expecting more 'Kingdom' in 'Kingdoms & Warfare'? :/ I thought it was going to be a lot of large scale resource and territory management rules(you know, running a Kingdom?). Instead it seems like 'Yo dawg we heard you like to fight so we gave you a way to fight while you fight AND also before you fight'. It looks like it's well put together, just not what I was expecting based on the title.

Arsh Kabra

I was wondering: is there a VTT Compatiblity version of the party sheets? A fillable form, perhaps?

Nickolaus Willard

Did either of you get yours via Backerkit? Also still waiting

Ethan R Souders

He’s been pretty clear what his plan was from live streams and videos. His goal was to make it abstract as to not loose focus of what dnd is. It’s more improving on the last books concept. Which also did not use resources train troops or collect wood to upgrade troops. So nothing close to Civ 6 for dnd. Still a great book though.

Courtney De Barros

I wanted to ask when S&F are gonna be on pre-order? I would like to order both of these at the same time to save on shipping ?

Joey Z

Yeah, the content itself looks great. 'Intrigue & Warfare' probably would have been a more fitting name for it though, it definitely doesn't deliver on 'Kingdoms'.

Scum

I love the book, and the rules I've read so far are fantastic. I'm almost at the end of the Warefare chapter, and I feel like I got less Battle Magic than I was expecting, or it takes a different form. I also don't understand where we're supposed to get the wands/scrolls, or is the prompt that we insert these into the campaign ourselves?

Hibernaculum

Hi I pre-ordered K&W, but haven't received my PDF download link yet :(

Sound_Tech

Omg, thank you SO much for the video! I was so freaking excited when I saw the book released and I told everyone I know and I could just not convey to my D&D players what about it made it so great. I showed them the video and they were totally on board! We're all anticipating part 2 So glad I supported the book, it exceeded my expectations ^^

Ultraperipheral Games

Been loving reading through the book. Can't wait for the hard copy to get here. I also can't wait to see some example battles go up!

Pesto Enthusiast

We don't know yet. MCDM originally had a printer in Canada lined up, but then the "global shipping apocalypse" (massive international disruption to shipping from COVID and the Suez Canal blockage) mean that they needed to find a new printer. And many printers can't even get enough paper at the moment. MCDM is working hard on getting it sorted out, and as soon as they're confident about the plan going forward, they'll announce it.
