Horror Movie Minisode 2: Stephen King's IT
1h 45m | Oct 31, 2026Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Our generous listeners donated to the Capital Area Food Bank and earned two horror movie minisodes, but we didn't let y'all vote on the second one, because it was going to be Derry whether you liked it or not. We both love this book, this miniseries, and one of these movies, so we're making this domain work even though Pennywise has exactly one of our qualities of a good darklord. (It's a theme for this October.)
There are uncensored F-bombs in this episode and discussion of some of the more disturbing elements of IT. There's an "E" next to this episode for a reason. You have been warned.
Topics discussed include:
- yet another invented backstory to give two of the first three elements to our untormented, untragic, evil-by-nature darklord, and our very first unconditional failure in scrounging up anything for one of those elements;
- The stat block that actually gives us a ton of what we need for "reality-bending murder clown;"
- bringing the power of friendship and belief into a game that's much more about the power of longswords and fireballs, and how the power of belief gives you license to metagame;
- snaring PCs who presumably aren't the Losers' Club in Pennywise's web, including Tom's gloriously heady and bonkers idea for giving your PCs the complete IT Chapters 1 and 2 experience;
- and more!
