About Arkadia
The Chronicles of Arkadia is a classless low-fantasy role-playing game built around a simple principle:
the rules should support the fiction, not replace it.
Arkadia avoids traditional hit points, tactical combat grids, character classes, and highly granular simulation.
Characters are instead defined by their Characteristics, learned Masteries, possessions, relationships, wounds, and experiences.
The game emphasizes:
- narrative-first resolution;
- dangerous and fast combat;
- wounds and fatigue instead of hit points;
- meaningful social interactions;
- survival, travel, and exploration;
- rare and dangerous magic;
- lightweight rules with strong fictional consequences.
This repository contains the Foundry VTT implementation of those rules.
The tabletop rules themselves are maintained separately in the arkadia-rulebook repository and remain the authoritative source for game mechanics and design.
Foundry Compatibility
Arkadia currently targets:
- Foundry VTT V14
Older Foundry versions are not supported.
The system intentionally follows current Foundry V14 APIs and does not maintain compatibility layers for previous Foundry generations.
Development
