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 t...

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 warn...

In which D is gay and does crimes. (I mean, she doesn't do anything especially gay in this episode, but she's gay, and she's doing crimes.)

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 on...

It is a period of Star Wars. Nerdy podcasters, striking from a Maryland living room, have recorded their first installment about the evil Imperium of the Mists. During the episode, the Kolars managed to include overall plans for the demiplane's strangest Mist cluster, the STELLAR ARCHIPELAGO, a group of four domains isolated from one another yet united by powerful similarities. Harried by the...

In which D and Azalin go to warlock divorce court. Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 1:51 "Dear Binx...: 5:18 "Within the hour, the carriage slowed as it approached the spires of Castle Avernus." 15:58 "The throne room was as imposing and oppressive as the rest of the castle..." 31:38 "And suddenly, I was back in that foggy glade..." 41:30 "I opened my mouth, then closed...

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! It's our annual non-Disney episode, and this year, what could we choose except the movie that soundly ate Disney's lunch? There's a TON of terrific overlap between KPop Demon Hunters and D&D/Ravenloft, from "group of heavily armed people who kick supernatural butt through the power of song" to "villains who get pulled into a spec...

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords...after dark. You donated $600 to the Capital Area Food Bank, and we're finally delivering on the promised rewards, starting with the anthology that has someone's X-rated Roger Rabbit fanfic: Hot Blood Volume 4: Seeds of Fear. Much like Tower of Doom, this one is so ear-scorchingly filthy that we don't want it showing up on our main feed, so we&#...

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Would you take a look at that? Pretty pathetic, huh? Well, you'll never believe this, but that llama you're looking at was once a human being...or a dragonborn, or a water genasi, or something. And not just any human being or dragonborn or water genasi or something. That llama was a PC. Oh yeah! This is their story. Well, actually, your story. That&...

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Today's domain ended up being MUCH harder than we anticipated. Horror versions of Wonderland are a dime a dozen, but fitting it into the specific mold of a Ravenloft domain was another matter entirely. Follow us down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass as we discuss: Our potential darklord candidates, including the reason why neither Alice, th...

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! At long last, we get to an episode that we've been teasing for over a year, and that y'all have been asking for pretty much from episode one: Aladdin It combines a darklord with impeccable vibes, a setting with...somewhat problematic vibes that make it peccable but ridiculously cool, and well-earned nostalgia that brings it a ton of emotional power....

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...

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Kris Newton joins us as we close out 2025 with a discussion of Oliver and Company, and with it, the class option that has tragically never made it into a single edition of D&D: Doggie Crime Lord. Topics discussed include: Why a sadsack with a gambling addiction and a team of canine pickpockets is going to be irresistible for a whole lot of PCs; The vers...

In which D travels home for the holidays. The full episode can be found on Patreon, but we wanted to make this portion of it public to give a sense of the status quo with D's family.

In which D is fighting evil by starlight, journaling by daylight, and never running from a real fight. The in-character fiction from the episode without the in-depth out of character discussion for the domain. Commentary on D's Journal is usually a patrons-only perk, but there's a specific bit of commentary for this one that I wanted to make available for everyone. Timestamps: 0:00 Introdu...

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Earlier this year, our generous listeners donated $385 to Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC), and that means a second Listener's Choice episode!
