D&D General What does Arcadia look like?

I picture rows of machines for playing Pacman, Donkey Kong, Galagga, Dig Dug, Frogger and so on.

It really couldn't be a paradise without video games.

The version I think of when I see the name

In all honesty if I were going to have a party go to Arcadia I'd probably condense it, Bytopia, and Elysium into different layers or regions of a single plane. Current idea is a hollow world, the outside being the Elysian Fields and Arcadia in the eastern and western hemispheres, while the interior of the planet having a Bytopia-like twin city on the north and south interiors of the planet.

@Sepulchrave II, beautiful photos.


Yet in the context of Lawful by Lawful Good, Arcadia, these mountains feel too natural, wild, and random.

The LLG approaches an architectural geometry and symmetry that parallels the cubes and other polyhedrons of LLE Acheron. Except Arcadia tending toward Good has a bit more life and greenery to its geometry.

I can't help but think "Switzerland".

I was being a little facetious; I'm rather fond of the Peloponnese.

According to the 1E Manual of the Planes:

Huge fields of well-tended crops and orchards, cities laid out in geometrically perfect shapes, and mountains unblemished by erosion...The flowers are all colors of the rainbow and are always found in well-ordered patches that grow without needing to be tended. It is the trees of Arcadia that are most remarkable. These great plants grow in neat forests and straight-rowed orchards.

Sounds awful.

Heh, you meant, " [L]awful " ?
