D's Journal: Princess Mononoke

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In the spirit of April Fool&#39;s Day, we&#39;re once again taking a break from Disney movies for this month&#39;s episode (yes, we know Disney distributed the Ghiblis for a while, but we operate under strict Calvinball rules in which Home Alone can be a regular episode but Princess Mononoke can&#39;t). There&#39;s so much nightmare fuel in Princess Mononoke that it&#39;s almost redundant to turn it into a horror setting, but turning it into a Ravenloft domain is another matter entirely. Topics discussed include:<ul><li>How to give Irontown and the forest an unforgivable, irredeemable darklord when one of the movie&#39;s main themes is that no one is unforgivable or irredeemable (except Jigo, who we&#39;re going to discuss a lot);</li><li>A Disney movie that we will never, ever make an episode about, but that actually has quite a bit of thematic overlap with Princess Mononoke, so you can just pretend this is that episode if you want;</li><li>Multiple AU possibilities for the darklord, ranging from &#34;fairly obvious&#34; to &#34;high-concept fever dream;&#34;</li><li>The canon darklord who can fill the same role as Lord Asano but with more personality;</li><li>and more!</li></ul> The full writeup for the Mononoke Forest is available for free on DM&#39;s Guild: <a href="https://www.dmsguild.com/product/476619/Mononoke-Forest-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770" rel="nofollow">https://www.dmsguild.com/product/476619/Mononoke-Forest-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770</a>The real-life inspiration for the forest was Shiratani Unsuikyo on Yakushima Island.

D's Journal: Big Hero 6

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! While superheroes and D&amp;D are staples of geek culture, they don&#39;t necessarily go together; the occasional Sorcerer Supreme notwithstanding, superheroes are more associated with sci-fi than high fantasy.

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! While superheroes and D&D are staples of geek culture, they don't necessarily go together; the occasional Sorcerer Supreme notwithstanding, superheroes are more associated with sci-fi than high fantasy. Luckily, not only is there a D&D setting that lets us embrace the technowizardry of Big Hero 6 without throwing all the fantasy tropes out the window, but it's a setting that doesn't have a full domain to its name yet. Topics discussed include:

--How to get an ongoing story engine out of Callaghan/Yokai when his only goal in the movie is "kill this one guy;"
--Horror possibilities for a dark superhero setting that are less obvious than the edgelord excesses of the 90s (please, we beg of you, don't make Gail Simone angry);
--Settings and plot hooks suggested by the criminally underrated Big Hero 6 TV show, from secondary antagonists to sinister underworld cooking competitions, and an overarching theme to make them feel coherent with the domain;
--Possibilities for the Big Hero 6 team that go beyond our go-to response of "kill them off so they aren't getting in the way of the PCs;"
--and more!

D's Journal: Hadestown

On a Disney podcast, dear,Why is there live theater here?Why this Broadway musical?It ain&#39;t right, and it ain&#39;t natural. Listener, it&#39;s Hadestown. Regardless of how long anyone was gone and how lonesome we were or weren&#39;t, we couldn&#39;t resist such a perfect darklord and domain--especially since we&#39;re just coming off another domain with Hades as a darklord. Topics discussed include:<ul><li>A bit of reiterating who we are and what we do here at Wonderful World of Darklords, since we recognize that we might have people who will just click on anything with &#34;Hadestown&#34; in the title (and we can&#39;t blame them);</li><li>How to adapt the gods of Hadestown to non-gods in Ravenloft, including some canonical characters who map surprisingly well to Hermes and the Fates;</li><li>The horror inherent to both Hadestown proper and Up Top, and how to make your PCs feel the loss of Persephone&#39;s summer bounty;</li><li>Plot hooks that allow your PCs to fill the Orpheus role without necessarily having a star-crossed lover;</li><li>and more!</li></ul> Click on the link or not, little songbird. The choice is yours if you&#39;re willing to choose, seeing as how you&#39;ve got nothing to lose...Like with Hercules, this has three lengthy digressions that are still in the main body of the episode (if you want to hear Rachel and Tom debating the morality of Our Lady of the Underground for four minutes). Unlike Hercules, it also has extra outtakes!The full writeup for Hadestown is available for free on DM&#39;s Guild: <a href="https://www.dmsguild.com/product/468990/Hades-Town-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770" rel="nofollow">https://www.dmsguild.com/product/468990/Hades-Town-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770</a>All music recordings are in the public domain (mark 1.0) and are licensed through <a href="https://musopen.org/" rel="nofollow">https://musopen.org</a>:<a href="https://musopen.org/music/108-nocturnes-op-9/" rel="nofollow">Chopin Nocturne in B-Flat Minor, Op. 9 No.1</a> (main theme), performed by Eduardo Vinuela<a href="https://musopen.org/music/611-etudes-op-25/" rel="nofollow">Chopin Etude Op. 25, No. 12 in C Minor: “Ocean” </a>(darklord theme), performed by Edward Neeman<a href="https://musopen.org/music/4438-nocturnes-op-55/" rel="nofollow">Chopin Nocturne in F Minor, Op. 55 No. 1</a> (land theme), performed by Luke Faulkner<a href="https://musopen.org/music/1216-morceaux-de-fantaisie-op-3/" rel="nofollow">Rachmaninoff Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op. 3 - 2.

D's Journal: Hercules

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2024/2/7/1/2183379f-9292-4513-bcee-427de482f341_wonderdarklords_ep19_hercules.mp3

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In this episode, we&#39;re going from talking tigers to literal freaking gods with what might be our most powerful darklord to date: Hades. (We don&#39;t know whether we&#39;d back Hades, Elsa, or Maleficent in a fight, and we don&#39;t want to be anywhere in a hundred-mile radius if that ever happens.) Making the god of the underworld a darklord was a tricky proposition; after all, the Dark Powers weren&#39;t able to hang onto Vecna. We figured out a solution that lets us bring everyone&#39;s favorite evil motor-mouth in without having to shatter the demiplane in the process. Topics discussed include:<ul><li>How Hercules works in some of the dark, horrifying themes of Greek mythology despite being a bowdlerization, and how to generalize those themes to an entire domain;</li><li>How to make your PCs the main characters of a Hercules domain even though the movie has a full-on prophesied Chosen One (it doesn&#39;t have to involve killing him this time, we promise!);</li><li>Monsters and characters from Greek mythology that lend themselves beautifully to a sprawling domain that still keeps Hades as its primary mover and shaker;</li><li>Serious geeking out over the gods of Ravenloft and how the gods of Olympus fit into their metaphysic;</li><li>and more!</li></ul> (We don&#39;t actually discuss Vecna.

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In this episode, we're going from talking tigers to literal freaking gods with what might be our most powerful darklord to date: Hades. (We don't know whether we'd back Hades, Elsa, or Maleficent in a fight, and we don't want to be anywhere in a hundred-mile radius if that ever happens.) Making the god of the underworld a darklord was a tricky proposition; after all, the Dark Powers weren't able to hang onto Vecna. We figured out a solution that lets us bring everyone's favorite evil motor-mouth in without having to shatter the demiplane in the process. Topics discussed include:

--How Hercules works in some of the dark, horrifying themes of Greek mythology despite being a bowdlerization, and how to generalize those themes to an entire domain;
--How to make your PCs the main characters of a Hercules domain even though the movie has a full-on prophesied Chosen One (it doesn't have to involve killing him this time, we promise!);
--Monsters and characters from Greek mythology that lend themselves beautifully to a sprawling domain that still keeps Hades as its primary mover and shaker;
--Serious geeking out over the gods of Ravenloft and how the gods of Olympus fit into their metaphysic;
--and more!

(We don't actually discuss Vecna. We're sorry. Rachel keeps forgetting Vecna was a darklord because he's connected to so much non-Ravenloft material that the idea of diving into all of it causes her to automatically fail a Fear save. Please don't @ us; it's taking all her willpower not to rerecord the entire episode.)

Episode 19: Hercules

Heads up for the director&#39;s cut: rather than our usual method of putting extra outtakes at the end, we&#39;re leaving the digressions and discussions intact within the episode itself because in this case, we think it&#39;ll make for a smoother listening experience. These aren&#39;t so much &#34;extra outtakes&#34; as &#34;extra discussion of how cool Gwydion the Shadow-Fiend was,&#34; so it feels more organic to keep them within the episode itself.Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords!

D's Journal: The Jungle Book

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Second edition already did a Jungle Book-inspired domain with the Wildlands, but it didn&#39;t make the jump into 5e and it had some key differences from its source material, which means that this movie is as ripe for picking as a pawpaw or a prickly pear (as opposed to classic Disney movies that are already covered in 5e by certain Dementlieus we can name). As a heads up, we love both the classic animated Jungle Book and the 2016 live-action version, so we&#39;re going to be bringing in elements from both. Topics discussed include:<ul><li>Why we feel it&#39;s crucial that the humans in the man village be much more innocent than humans typically are in a man-versus-nature story;</li><li>The rich potential of a setting that has so many NPCs with their own agendas, from Bagheera, the vultures, and the wolves to Kaa, King Louie, and old stripes himself;</li><li>&#34;Aging-down&#34; ideas for allowing an entire party of Mowglis, each raised by different animals;</li><li>The style of campaign we&#39;ve barely discussed in this podcast that fits Jungle Book like tiny red shorts;</li><li>and more!</li></ul> The full writeup for the Seeonee is available for free on DM&#39;s Guild: <a href="https://www.dmsguild.com/product/464028/Mowglis-Jungle-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread-01-13?view_as_pub=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.dmsguild.com/product/464028/Mowglis-Jungle-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread-01-13?view_as_pub=1</a>All music recordings are in the public domain (mark 1.0) and are licensed through <a href="https://musopen.org/" rel="nofollow">https://musopen.org</a>:<a href="https://musopen.org/music/108-nocturnes-op-9/" rel="nofollow">Chopin Nocturne in B-Flat Minor, Op. 9 No.1</a> (main theme), performed by Eduardo Vinuela<a href="https://musopen.org/music/611-etudes-op-25/" rel="nofollow">Chopin Etude Op. 25, No. 12 in C Minor: “Ocean” </a>(darklord theme), performed by Edward Neeman<a href="https://musopen.org/music/4438-nocturnes-op-55/" rel="nofollow">Chopin Nocturne in F Minor, Op. 55 No. 1</a> (land theme), performed by Luke Faulkner<a href="https://musopen.org/music/1216-morceaux-de-fantaisie-op-3/" rel="nofollow">Rachmaninoff Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op. 3 - 2.

As a heads up, we love both the classic animated Jungle Book and the 2016 live-action version, so we're going to be bringing in elements from both. Topics discussed include:

--Why we feel it's crucial that the humans in the man village be much more innocent than humans typically are in a man-versus-nature story;
--The rich potential of a setting that has so many NPCs with their own agendas, from Bagheera, the vultures, and the wolves to Kaa, King Louie, and old stripes himself;
--"Aging-down" ideas for allowing an entire party of Mowglis, each raised by different animals;
--The style of campaign we've barely discussed in this podcast that fits Jungle Book like tiny red shorts;
--and more!

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Well, a sign pointing you toward Wonderful World of Darklords, anyway. As mentioned in our Home Alone episode, the Tower of Doom episode of Book Club of Dread was so ear-scorchingly filthy that we can&#39;t stand to have it appear on our main feed where some new listener might find it and think that&#39;s what we&#39;re all about, so we&#39;re making the standard cut <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/book-club-of-of-95322339?utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link&utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink" rel="nofollow">available for free on our Patreon</a> instead (as well as two director&#39;s cuts for patrons): https://www.patreon.com/posts/book-club-of-of-95322339?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&amp;utm_source=copyLink&amp;utm_campaign=postshare_creator&amp;utm_content=join_link(Or, if you don&#39;t want to copy-paste that whole mess, just go to <a href="http://www.patreon.com/WonderfulWorldofDarklords" rel="nofollow">patreon.com/WonderfulWorldofDarklords </a>and look for the top post.)Please, PLEASE read the show notes before listening. We may have bleeped the f-bombs, but there are some direct quotes there that&#39;ll give you a pretty good idea of why we still didn&#39;t want this on our main feed.Happy gaming!

D's Journal: Home Alone

Subscribers get access to extra outtakes and D's Journal (each episode's in-character interactions between D and Yensid), and will get access to Book Club of Dread when we hit $20 a month. We think we can also get you links to the free DM's Guild content--stay tuned!

Heads up--RedCircle doesn't support non-audio content, so a RedCircle subscription does NOT include the Discord link (unlike our Patreon). That said, we appear to have a couple of listeners who hate Patreon, love the anonymity of RedCircle, or both, so we wanted to enable audio content on RedCircle for their benefit.

A monthly podcast converting Disney movies to Ravenloft domains of dread. No affiliation with Disney or WotC. New episodes drop on the 13th of every month!
