MCDM Productions are the creators of Flee, Mortals!, Strongholds & Followers, Kingdoms & Warfare, the Beastheart, Illrigger, and the upcoming Draw Steel.
Regarding the OGL 1.1, MCDM has taken advice from counsel and we don't think it affects the development of Flee, Mortals! If/when other products are affected, we'll let the community know.
No matter what, we'll keep making dope-ass stuff and we're excited for the future of MCDM!
Hi everyone! Here are a few of our "Meet the Team" policies for those curious:
- We do NOT allow visits to the MCDM office for ANY reason.
- We do NOT take in-person applications. Attempting to apply in-person will NOT help you.
- Meetups are reserved for public events we attend.
We believe Mandy, Jennifer, Hannah, Vivka, and the other survivors who have come forward in recent days (as well as those who came forward long ago but were dismissed). Abusers have no place in our community, nor in this or any industry.
1/ 📣 THE FLEE, MORTALS! PDF IS NOW AVAILABLE! 📣 Get our tome of 339 DnD 5e monsters plus rules for minions, retainers, companions, action-oriented creatures, encounter-building, and templates now!
📢 The Kingdoms & Warfare Kickstarter is LIVE! 🎉
We've been working so hard on our 2nd Kickstarter and are super excited to finally share it with you:
We have books, stickers, shirts, and stretch goals that include a GM Screen, warfare deck, & MINIS.
Double, double, toil and trouble...
Two years have passed since we signed our deal with the devil, undertaking a most unholy task: to bring unto humanity a new Class of evil—the likes of which only MCDM could have wrought.
Behold, THE ILLRIGGER!
🤘
There are NO EXCEPTIONS. These policies are in place so we can continue working hard without interruption and make cool stuff; this is why we try to attend at least one industry event each year to say hi to our community members.
Thank you for respecting us by following them! 👍
Lets. Get. WILD! 🐾

She walked forward, looked down at the young man. “And I’ll be here long after you’re dead.” Her lean face was twisted into a feral grimace. “So go back to your parents.”
'Tis I, Captain Talon Ralazar, making landfall to bring you the news of SHARKADIA. Now, I've heard tell of some adventuring sorts who peruse a periodical known as ARRRCADIA, but what's coming this month is no ordinary publication.

We're cackling with delight that the infernal rituals required to summon The Illrigger are now complete and blessed by the archdevils themselves!
Five years ago today, three things happened in very quick succession:
1) the Strongholds & Followers Kickstarter launched
2) the S&F Kickstarter hit $1 million

Meet the THRONE!

“Something absorbed the psionic energy.”
“Yes,” Memory said. “I didn’t notice it at first, but upon repeat it became obvious. The talent flared bright and was then extinguished.”
The Sun looked at the Mirror. “Not a lot of things can do that.”
