Body horror affecting animals (major; transformation, goo, pregnancy imagery), slavery (major), mind control (major), abusive relationship (major), animal abuse (moderate), violence against both humans and animals (moderate), dismemberment (moderate), death (minor)

A more detailed, spoilery breakdown of the animal abuse in this episode for those who need it:

• Familiars are forced to fight each other; the violence against them isn't described (except for one dog who's hit with a psychic blast and "vanishes with a whimpering growl"), but there's mention of them being reduced to 0 hp and disappearing like familiars do. All but one are resummoned at the end of the episode.
• Mewtwo makes mutant clones of the familiars that are bound to his will.
• One wizard is verbally abusive toward his familiar and is strongly implied to be physically abusive toward it as well, but it isn't described onscreen beyond "I heard him heaping abuse upon his familiar" and a mention of him waving a club at it.

We wanna be the very best

Like no show ever was

Converting them's our real test

Explaining them's our cause

We will podcast throughout the Net

Airing far and wide

Each listener to understand

The darklord that's inside

Gotta catch 'em all!

And in this case, for Listener's Choice, we're catching the non-Disney movie that you all voted on: Pokemon: The First Movie. Topics discussed include:

• What even is a Pokemon in D&D terms, anyway?;
• Why Mewtwo is basically a perfect darklord right out of the can, especially when given the non-feline statblock that fits him perfectly;
• How to make what Mewtwo did to Nurse Joy EVEN CREEPIER;
• AUs ranging from "Pokemon are just a weird thing Mewtwo does so you have an excuse to use him as a darklord" to "here's a reskin of the magic system that turns all casters into Pokemon trainers" to "actually, Pokemon are completely unnecessary to make Mewtwo work;"
• And more!

Welcome 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!

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Spooky season is upon us, and our episode is rolling into Central Daylight Time at 3 AM in October just like an evil circus train. (That includes any listeners we might have who live in Illinois; Ray Bradbury would approve.) Something Wicked This Way Comes is one of the Kolars' favorite books and a worthy addition to Disney's Halloween canon, but it has very specific vibes that don't necessarily mesh with a band of heavily armed transients. How can Mr. Dark play a game of cat and mouse with people who know that magic exists and can also cast fireball? Topics discussed include:

• Giving three of our four darklord qualities to Mr. Dark, who only has one of them as written but has it in SPADES;
• Getting the PCs to play along with the carnival's games instead of going in with guns blazing;
• Making the carousel a valid temptation in D&D terms, since there are very few PCs who want to be older or younger;
• How Carnival, especially old Carnival, ripped off this book and movie lock, stock, and barrel;
• And more!

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In this, our FIFTIETH EPISODE(!), Robin LaGrave joins us to discuss the Disney/gaming crossover that predates ours by twenty years: Kingdom Hearts. Its world-hopping structure lends itself beautifully to a domain-hopping Ravenloft game, but can the notoriously complicated backstory of its villain do the same? Topics discussed include:

• Why we're primarily sticking to the first Kingdom Hearts game, and the alternate Ansem backstory from former cohost Matt Graydon that maintains the essence of the character while beautifully streamlining the plot;
• Why the Dark Powers might secretly be championing the power of friendship;
• How to incorporate Keyblades into your game without signifying that a single member of your party is the protagonist of the entire campaign;
• Canonical Ravenloft NPCs that can serve as Ansem, Mickey/Donald/Goofy. and the Princesses of Heart, as well as ideas for alternate domain-spanning master plans, if you want to use the structure of Kingdom Hearts for a straightforward Ravenloft game;
• And more!

The dead speak! A Sith cult within the Unknown Regions has heard a mysterious whispering in their minds, a threat of REVENGE in the sinister voice of the late EMPEROR PALPATINE.

Meanwhile, the brave RESISTANCE dispatches secret agents to gather intelligence, training for battle against the diabolical FIRST ORDER.

Supreme Leader KYLO REN builds his army and rages against the Resistance, determined to destroy any threat to his power...

Look, say what you will about the sequel trilogy (just do it somewhere other than here), but one thing is indisputable: Kylo Ren is grade-A darklord material. Topics discussed include:

• How we managed to have Kylo Ren in this timeline, seeing as how we killed off Luke and Leia in utero;
• Why the first hour or so of The Force Awakens is the most dramatically interesting time for this setting, offering plenty of story opportunities other than "hey look, it's the Empire but not as cool";
• Hidden Sith cults, secret treasures, magic knives, and other things that make Rise of Skywalker a D&D McGuffin hunt;
• An AU that allows you to make Sidious the darklord of the entire Stellar Archipelago;
• and more!

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Don Karnage doesn't belong in Star Wars Summer...or does he? Kris Newton joins us as Tom makes his impassioned case for why Talespin was serving us Disney Star Wars long before the all-consuming maw of capitalism began to serve us literal Disney Star Wars. Topics discussed include:

• The character class that Don Karnage firmly establishes for himself from episode one, and that is further bolstered by a bit of 2017 Duck Tales lore;
• Why the Iron Vulture is just the best;
• The narratively rich role that Shere Khan, or a Shere Khan-type character, can play in your Outer Rim adventures;
• How Higher For Hire not only provides a model for a PC group, but also allows the GM to fill in any gaps the party may need;
• and more!

Death and destruction! Maul, along with whatever poor saps he's drawn into his ruinous orbit, spreads chaos as he descends upon the Outer Rim. After clawing his way back from the grave, Maul murders and pillages at every turn. Fueled by rage and vengeance, he searches for meaning among warring crime syndicates as rumors of his brutal attacks spread across the archipelago...

Look, guys, the Phantom Menace opening crawl was no help at all and Maul: Shadow Lord doesn't have any opening narration. Thank the Force for Clone Wars newsreels! Topics discussed include:

• A quick summary of Maul's whole deal for those of you who have only seen the movies and don't want to watch twelve hours of cartoons (Rachel sees and validates you);
• What makes Maul unique among our Star Wars darklords, from his political status (or lack thereof) to the way he closes the borders;
• The glorious potential of a domain that combines the Wire with the wild west, and also lightsabers;
• Why this is one of the domains where your PCs can have the biggest impact, for better or worse;
• and more!

The PCs have traveled to another region of the Stellar Archipelago in an attempt to rescue its people from the clutches of the vile archdevil Sidious..

Little do the PCs know that the IMPERIUM has secretly begun construction on a new floating fortress, the dreaded BLACK CITADEL.

When completed, this ultimate weapon will spell certain doom for the small band of heavily armed transients struggling to restore freedom to the domain...

It's the man himself: DARTH VADER! Topics discussed include:

• How to adapt the most iconic villain and the most iconic setting in all of Star Wars into D&D terms so that your players don't wonder why they aren't just playing Star Wars;
• The perfect stat block for Vader, and how that led to one of our biggest scifi-to-fantasy changes to the source material;
• Some of the iconic NPCs of this period, both villainous and heroic, and the role they can play in a Star Wars Ravenloft game;
• The scariest fantasy horror version of the Death Star we could come up with, complete with a fate worse than death for the Jedi;
• And more!

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Our generous listeners donated to the Capital Area Food Bank and voted for their horror movie minisode of choice, so here we are with Repo! The Genetic Opera. This was our first time watching it, and we're going through the Rotti Largo highs and the Luigi Largo lows to bring you a splatterpunk gothic dystopia. With uncensored F bombs. You have been warned. Topics discussed include:

• How to bring your PCs into a movie that, at its heart, is a personal story about a handful of people making their tragic backstory everyone's problem (but then, isn't that Ravenloft in a nutshell?);
• The possibility of a heroic faction in a movie where pretty much everyone is awful;
• The gloriously weird and RPG-friendly potential of genetic modifications;
• An old-school domain we've never talked about on mic before that gives a model for killing Rotti without freeing him from his torment;
• and more!

War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless darklord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. (You know, because it's Ravenloft.)

In a stunning move, Count Dooku has delved into the secret archives of the heretical Sith and summoned Sidious, the archdevil at the heart of their cult.

As Dooku and his fiendish patron play both sides of the war against one another, a group of heavily armed transients must decide how best to tip the scales...

Yes, we are kicking off Star Wars Summer with COUNT DOOKU! Topics discussed include:

• The animated shorts you need to watch if you have no idea why we thought Sneery McSneers-A-Lot would make for a compelling darklord, and a summary of them if you don't have time to check them out;
• The D&D versions of the droid and clone armies (no, the clones don't involve the clone spell, although we did think about it);
• An AU if you would rather make Dooku the center of a paranoid political conspiracy thriller than a war story;
• Our greatest challenge yet for incorporating the older material;
• and more!
