Episode 42: Wreck-It Ralph
Our name's Wonderful World of Darklords, and we're a podcast. Uh, let's see...we're three and a half years old, 42 episodes long, got a bit of sappiness in us. Our passion bubbles very near the surface, I guess, not gonna lie. Anywho, uh, what else...we're converters. We convert Disney movies to Ravenloft domains, professionally. I mean, we're very good at what we do. Thing is, being a Byronic cesspool is the name of the game. Literally. That's what the "darklord" in Wonderful World of Darklords is. So yeah, naturally King Candy is the guy we're talking about. When he does an act of ultimate darkness, he gets a domain. But are there domains for an act of ultimate Disney movie to Ravenloft domain conversion? To that, we say ha! And no, there aren't. Which is honestly a good thing, because when we see King Candy out there, living in a hell of his own creation, constantly terrified that Vanellope will come and unravel all his lies, sometimes we think...man, it sure must be awful being the bad guy. Topics discussed include:How the heck to translate an arcade full of living video game characters into D&D terms, and how to get your PCs interacting with them when they are not, themselves, video game characters;Making King Candy even more hateable (which is impressive, because he's already REALLY AWFUL);Why the cy-bugs, while ridiculously cool, don't complicate the setting as much as we thought they would;The underrated John Carpenter movie that shows how to bring out the horror in what's mostly a pretty fantasy-heavy, horror-light setting;And more!The full write-up for the Arcades of Litwak is available on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/552182/the-arcades-of-litwak-a-ravenloft-domain-of-dread?preview=1The poll for our horror movie minisode is free for all on our Patreon, and will be until January 31st: https://www.patreon.com/posts/horror-movie-146799916Timestamps0:00 Announcements1:43 Introduction8:49 The Lord43:25 The Land1:08:43 Dread Possibilities1:34:38 Parting Thoughts1:50:03 D’s Parting ThoughtsContent Advisory for D's Journal (details on content advisories can be found on Facebook, Tumblr, and Patreon)Mind control (major), memory manipulation (major), blood (moderate), heights and falling from them (moderate), death (minor)All 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.
