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 full write-up for Hollow Bastion is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/583023/Kingdom-of-Misty-Hearts-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?preview=1TIMESTAMPS0:00 Introduction8:04 The Lord49:45 The Land1:00:59 Dread Possibilities1:54:03 Parting thoughts2:28:23 D’s Parting ThoughtsContent Advisory for D's Journal (details on content advisories can be found on Facebook, Tumblr, and Patreon)Possession (major), abandonment (major), parentification (major), caregiver burnout (major)Episode Zero of Robin's podcast, D-Pad Darklords, is LIVE! https://open.spotify.com/show/2Lefh5WhCxtREXJDZaC94sAll music recordings are licensed through https://musopen.org:Chopin Nocturne in B-Flat Minor, Op. 9 No.1 (main theme), performed by Eduardo Vinuela (public domain mark 1.0)Chopin Etude Op. 25, No. 12 in C Minor: “Ocean” (darklord theme), performed by Edward Neeman (public domain mark 1.0)Chopin Nocturne in F Minor, Op. 55 No. 1 (land theme), performed by Luke Faulkner (public domain mark 1.0)Rachmaninoff Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op. 3 - 2.

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!The full write-up for the Unknown Regions is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/579535/a-ravenloft-far-far-away-supreme-leader-reylo?preview=1Timestamps0:00 Introduction16:26 The Lord47:04 The Land1:10:28 Dread Possibilities1:43:06 Parting thoughts2:03:43 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.

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!TIMESTAMPS0:00 Introduction3:12 Don Karnage Stats and Background35:39 Adventures in Cape SuzetteContent Advisory for D's Journal (details on content advisories can be found on Facebook, Tumblr, and Patreon)Alcohol use (moderate), gambling (minor)You can find Kris at MegaDumbCast (https://megadumbcast.podbean.com/) and the now-completed Gameable Podcast (https://gameabledisneypodcast.tumblr.com/)All music recordings are in the public domain (mark 1.0) and are licensed through https://musopen.org:Arabian Dance, from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, via the European ArchiveDialog for Yensid was written by Azalin Rex himself: http://www.tumblr.com/darklordazalinThe Wonderful World of Darklords logo was designed by Halite Jones, whom you can find on Tumblr and Instagram: https://www.tumblr.com/halite-draw and http://www.instagram.com/insta_haliteContact us on:Gmail: [email protected]: @wonderfulworldofdarklordsTumblr: @wonderfulworldofdarklordsPatreon: www.patreon.com/WonderfulWorldofDarklordsYouTube: @wonderfulworldofdarklord
