  • Episode 27: The Haunted Mansion
    2024/10/13
    CONTENT ADVISORY: because the 2023 film version of The Haunted Mansion involves convincing a living soul to die and join the happy haunts, this episode discusses suicide.Welcome, foolish mortals, to Wonderful World of Darklords! We are your hosts--your podcast hosts. Kindly load the full episode, and make room (on your hard drive) for every byte. There's no turning back now. Unless you stop listening five minutes in, I suppose. There's always that way out...This episode is primarily drawing on the 2023 Haunted Mansion movie since it has a darklord and a plot, but if you prefer other versions of the Mansion, don't worry; we're incorporating as many as possible. Topics discussed include:How to give Alistair Crump, a fun but cartoonishly evil villain, an element of tragedy and relatability;How to essentially turn the Haunted Mansion into Hill House, Hell House, or the Overlook;Alternate versions of the domain that highlight other ghosts as the darklord or boss, including Ramsley the butler, Constance Hatchaway, Henry Ravenswood, or even Madam Leota;So, so, SO many mechanics from the older material to represent hauntings;And more!The full write-up for the Haunted Mansion is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/497406/The-Haunted-Manor-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770Grim Grinning Gauntlet, Michael Loving's version of the haunted mansion as a pure dungeon crawl, is available here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/254923/Grim-Grinning-GauntletIf you want a gonzo haunted house full of surreal manifestations from the older material, check out Bleak House: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/201381/Bleak-House-2e?filters=0_0_0_0_45359_45347_0_0Timestamps0:00 Introduction9:09 The Lord38:51 The Land49:03 Dread Possibilities1:02:06 Aging Up (CW more detailed discussions of suicide and murder-suicide)1:05:40 Aging Up ends1:19:19 Parting Thoughts1:49:37 D’s Parting ThoughtsAll music recordings are in the public domain (mark 1.0) and are licensed through https://musopen.org:Chopin Nocturne in B-Flat Minor, Op. 9 No.1 (main theme), performed by Eduardo VinuelaChopin Etude Op. 25, No. 12 in C Minor: “Ocean” (darklord theme), performed by Edward NeemanChopin Nocturne in F Minor, Op. 55 No. 1 (land theme), performed by Luke FaulknerRachmaninoff Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op. 3 - 2.

  • Episode 26: Wish
    2024/09/13

    This is what you give me to work with?

    Well honey, I've seen worse!

    We're going to turn this sow's ear

    Into a silk purse


    Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In this episode, we're taking a look at a deeply flawed Disney movie whose numerous defects include an underdeveloped villain, an underdeveloped setting, and underdeveloped potential for some light existential horror. Luckily, our raison d'etre is developing villains, settings, and heavy existential horror, so we're here to extract the most wondrous, beautiful parts of this movie and help them come to fruition. Topics discussed include:

    • How to represent removing and/or granting a wish with the mechanics of D&D, other than "I guess Magnifico's giving that one woman a Flying speed;"
    • Some AU timeline shenanigans so you can have a fully evil, post-Act of Ultimate Darkness Magnifico who retains his Act One subtlety;
    • The genre that best matches the plot and themes of Wish, which was a terrible fit for "Disney fairy tale pastiche" but a beautiful fit for a Ravenloft domain;
    • Ideas for working in the evil power couple version of Magnifico and Amaya from the concept art;
    • and more!


    The full writeup for Rosas is available on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/493104/The-Kingdom-of-Roses-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770

    The jungle juice recipe we used for Book Club of Dread is here: https://www.staysnatched.com/jungle-juice-recipe/ Honestly, though, in the spirit of jungle juice, you're probably best off just mixing together whatever juices you have in the fridge and throwing in some alcohol if you want.

  • Episode 25: Tron
    2024/08/13
    Greetings, programs, and welcome to the third and final installment of Wonderful World of Darklords' Summer Blockbuster series! "Blockbuster" is a strong word for both Tron and Tron: Legacy, but they're cult classics that busted blocks in the hearts of many (including Tom). That said, while CLU is one of those Disney villains who needs very little work to become a darklord, the Grid needs a whole lot of work to become a domain in a computer-free fantasy setting. Topics discussed include:wait, Tron? Really? How does that work?whether and how to include the ISOs, who add a complicated extra layer to the domain but also are a delicious part of CLU's torment;additional setting elements to make the Grid a more fully realized and fleshed-out domain for gameplay, drawing from Tron: Uprising, Tron: Evolution, and the horrifyingly titled choose-your-own-adventure novel Tron: Legacy: It's Your Call: Initiate Sequence;adapting D&D mechanics to the aesthetics of Tron, from "how to use a cool disk when I'm a sword guy" to "what's going on with those special user powers the Flynns use;"and more!The full writeup for the Grid is available on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/486304/The-Grid-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770Much like with Toy Story, Tom wrote an adventure for the Grid! As always with these longer adventures, a caveat: while our DM's Guild writeups for domains are free and always will be, adventures are a LOT more work and DM's Guild doesn't give us the option of "no, no, it's free for regular podcast listeners but everyone else has to pay." HOWEVER, just like with Sleepy Hollow, the Raven Nebula, and Toy Story, we have a coupon code to get our listeners the adventure for 99 cents instead of $1.99 until the end of September. (And if you join our Patreon, you can get access to a free link!) Check out the discounted link here: https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?discount=950be42e9fThe 2e Shadow Rift adventure is also available on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17482/The-Shadow-Rift-2e?term=the+shadow+riftAll music recordings are in the public domain (mark 1.0) and are licensed through https://musopen.org:Chopin Nocturne in B-Flat Minor, Op. 9 No.1 (main theme), performed by Eduardo VinuelaChopin Etude Op. 25, No. 12 in C Minor: “Ocean” (darklord theme), performed by Edward NeemanChopin Nocturne in F Minor, Op. 55 No. 1 (land theme), performed by Luke FaulknerRachmaninoff Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op. 3 - 2.
