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's right--your PC can be that llama.

2026/03/13

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, the Queen of Hearts, or the Red Queen alone had what it took to be our darklord (and also a rant about how

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. Sit back and ruminate while we illuminate the possibilities for you. Topics discussed include:A broader

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"
