This was so painful to listen to, i loved it! Great joke xD

No mention of the reality bending horror that is Vechor?

i really hope i can find a way to work that Wraith mechanic into a campaign.

i really like the idea of this being a domain within a domain and feel like Paridon would be an interesting fit for it. the court of miracles could be run by dopplegangers.

I'm using aspects of this for one of my PCs backstory villains. A pirate named Patroclus the Everliving whose shadow pilots a ship called the Lost Darling while he stays on an island warped by a captured Archfey.

i miss sinkholes of evil from the old editions. i feel like that would help explain your exhaustion mechanics based on place easier then just having to spell it out everytime. in this domain more than any of the others especially.

I kinda think the magical mind control takes away from the terrifying actual manipulation that can happen in that situation. Abuela is absolutely charismatic enough to not have to use mind control and she genuinely thinks she is doing the right thing. The mind control might be better for the kids but I think adults can handle the idea that sometimes you don't need magic. It's just being raised in a home that venerates someone so much.

Just discovered you guys and so far I've loved your stuff! And lion king in space sounds like a blast, yes please

I'd have called the city San-Sokyo. Rolls of the tongue better.

I knew that looking at this it was a bit But I think there's actually merit to a McQueen domain and I'm not kidding.

So the domain is kinda Souragne with all the banking and debt of Borca?

Alternatively, Rattigan kills him like in canon, and the Torment is that he knows that, despite his 'World's Greatest Criminal Mind' shpiel, he knows that he had to brute force a victory.

Cool stuff but I got confused about what was being discussed starting at 1 hr 49 min.

A wonderful episode! The body horror and memory loss angle is a delightfully devilish spin on the concept.

Imagining the Jack Skellington Darklord singing let it go as Hans loses his mind over having TWO people doing spooky crap in his kingdom has me seriously considering a Ravenloft black comedy long run game

Two comments in one comment: what happened to the spirited away episode? Is that still happening, and if so when? Secondly, are you doing Tron 1 or Tron 2, because Tron 2 is literally just high tech dark lord stuff.

Hey all full episode available today! It includes our description of important locations in the setting, adventure hooks/plot ideas, and some stuff about other Pirates Villains as Darklords.

I have no idea what you're talking about, the best way to get over someone is to damn the world to eternal limbo and loop your song on spotify for hundreds of years. They hadn't invented Basketball in the golden age of piracy so they had no concept of "the rebound"

First. I'm new to your channel and while I haven't watched a lot of your stuff.What I have seen i've enjoyed.

I'm sorry, I've come back after finishing this, and I recall that you mentioned there's a section in one of the books about dark power temptations where they'll slowly warp you into a monster based on your actions. Which book was that?

So basically, it's Season 5 of Samurai Jack.

Part of the aspect of where you have to "play along" with his imagination reminds me of that one Twilight Zone episode where the kid has psychic powers and all the adults have to bend over backwards and appease him or else face the deadly consequences. *edit - 1:40:20 ah there it is

I remember a while back I saw a tumblr post that pointed out that Snow White's description sounds a lot like how you'd describe a vampire, with snow white skin (like a corpse) and deep red lips (as if covered in blood), and that the dwarves were suspiciously quick to trust her (in their defense, she is quite charming). Hag vs Vampire sound interesting, so long as you keep the vampire as the less impressive evil.

I get the impression this was supposed to be an april fools episode.

I think I would go further with the Jekyll and Hyde angle. When Rattigan throws Basil from the tower and he falls into the mist, his body is never found. Basil dies, but the dark powers bind his soul to Rattigan. Rattigan never realizes how close his enemy truly is now. Basil's mind takes over while Rattigan rests, always leaving clues to his foe's crimes, always leaving clues to torment his host with the possibility that he is still out there. Rattigan may rationize these errors on his part as giving his simpleton foes a sporting chance. These "restless nights" may contribute to his monstrous outbursts. While Basil can leave clues and subtly help the PCs, he cannot overstep and alert Rattigan to the possibility of his existence inside his mind. Who knows what lengths Rattigan would go to extract him...

Even outside of Ravenholm, I can totally see the players bumping into Nala and getting caught up in the latter half of the movie.

When the film first came out, there was a general concensus among my friends that the writers fucked up and accidentally put a bunch of one sided sexual tension on Elsa and Anna's dynamic, giving us the impression that Elsa was romantically in love with her sister. This would be an excellent thing to play into if you wanted to go particularly Game of Thronesy with them, and you aren't DMing with children.

I find this general concept genius and a campaign composed of short adventures in each of these sounds amazing

Why am I not surprised that the people who do a disney in ravnloft podcast own lots of nightmare before christmas merch?

Something I feel would make this even more tragic but would fit (albeit you'd have to have a few non-human races which, eh) is if you make Peter part elf. In the film he's got pointy ears, and since elves are so longed lived I treat them as having an exceptionally good memory, but having to deal with the angst that comes from naturally living three times as long as human empires, let alone the individual humans.

So glad that SuperGeekMike recommended you guys on his. This was great!

This episode is amazing and I love it

FYI, there is a 5e nightwalker, which is a CR20 huge undead giant

I just watched the Hercules episode before this and left a comment including how the fates could be "avatars of the dark powers" and here you said it, lol.

Technically, there are some incarnations of Tatyana that are into Strahd, but they are murdered by an angry mob, or succumbs to illness, etc. etc. so that they can never be together, and if only Strahd had better control of his people, or if only he had accepted her advances sooner, etc. etc. etc. it could have worked out. Like, the OG was literally just being kind to get future brother in law, who was a mega incel. I think eventually even Strahd could possibly pick up that every incarnation hates him that maybe it wasn't meant to be, but the Dark Powers know that and use their cruellest weapon to keep him on the hook: hope. Every time he's sooooo close and if he has just done one small thing different it would have (of course it wouldn't have) worked out, so he has to keep trying, and 'learning', and amassing power so that next time, Next Time, will be different. Like, I dint know if I could ever do pure Strahd because he is such an incel, but I think especially a couple of the first few incarnations show actual interest, because the Dark Powers know they just a little bit of 'justification' will feed that incel ego for millennia. Side note: my actual favorite aspects of Strahd are that 1) he's such an ubernerd, and loves reading, especially about magic, and 2) he generally tries to be a strong and just leader to the people he rules over. True, he sees himself above them, but he also takes his duty with utmost sincerity. The worst parts of Strahd are anytime he thinks about Tatyana; the best part of Strahd is, "I am the ancient; I am the Land". Like, he mostly leaves the people alone, unless he has a specific plot reason to interact with them, right until some force threatens them, and then he smites the hell out of whoever disrespected his domain.

I think the coolest meta Easter egg you could have is that the fates are actually avatars of The Dark Powers. The definition and meta physics of Ravenloft is that dark lords are all tragic figures, in the Greek tragic sense. And they all have a doomed *FATE*. Looking at the characters of the Fates, they clearly see the larger plot, and Hades is subservient to them, in the same way that dark lords ultimately answer to the dark powers. They don't seem bothered by what actually happens, but they are there as the mechanics of fate and to witness date play out. Which makes me think, there is another group of fantastic female 'witnesses' who could definitely have the ability to give a dark Lord 'ideas' and 'inspiration'. And canonically, the Muses feed on the creativity (torment) of their targets... That actually is a fantastic fit. Porque no los dos?

This could totally be a haunted house story. It just so happens that the thing haunting the house is a living child. Alternatively, a rather dark version would be if Kevin eventually died in his isolation because he was a child, now he haunts his house, waiting for his family to come home.

is there a mistway from the Sea of Sorrows? the Fraternity of shadows' gazetteer has great pirate ideas.

no talk of Abuela prepping to body swap with Mirabel?

I've been wanting to use the flying Dutchman and Davy Jones on a campaign for a while so this is great! I'll definitely be checking the complete episode once it comes out, in the mean time I'll take a look at the rest of your channel.

Intriguing

So happy Kraken Week brought me here! Running a Pirates-inspired Domain of Dread with Davy as the Darklord sounds sooooo enticing. Can't wait to hear the rest of the podcast episode!

You mentioned 'SW Gothic ' the closest i can think of would be some of Robert Howard's stuff. Def has some pretty strong Western vibes but you get a lot of Gothic themes. (Just to clarify im talking about his non Conan writing)

This was a really neat idea. Y'all are creative as Heck. As far as Star Wars and Ravenloft go they might work better than you think.. or at least it's not totally impossible? Have y'all heard of Dreadspace? It's a set of domains that exist in the "crystal sphere that holds the Donains of Dread". Basically Spelljammer meets Ravenloft and it works shockingly well. Its creator, Hour of the Raven has a cool channel covering other domains here on RUclips as well..

Davey Jones kind of fits more as a "lesser" darklord from earlier editions with the Flying Dutchman as the pocket. I can't remember if the pockets popped up in the earlier ones, but they became a major thing with chunks of the 3e stuff Sword and Sorcery books, where they're, essentially, mobile domains that can intrude into other domains if different conditions are met. One of them was a heavily corrupted unicorn with a horrific glade that could pop up in any forest in any domain, that's Addar...there's also the fiendish tyrannosaurus that, essentially, had his own similar thing that is implied to be such a thing, but popped up in the encounter articles that WotC used to put out where each month was a new encounter with a new part each week, and the crawling jungle was a nightmare scenario Having something similar where the Dutchman can show up in the seas or any port or coast

this a little of your treasure planet and some peater pan and i have a new dark priet plane idea growning thank you for your lovly and amazing ideas also Hello im new and now your podcasts are now on my list for ever!!

First time seeing your channel (via kraken week) but I love the concept y'all are using. Been a Ravenloft fan since back in the 2e days and its wonderful to see the setting getting so much new content from creators. Def subscribing, look forward to checking out the other darklords you've covered 👍👍

Go Pointy Hat and Ginny for getting it Kraken. Great content, thanks y'all. My wife loves Disney so I'll be stealing several ideas from your channel lol

Sweet video, Daddio! Totally rad!
