Episode 10, Part 1: The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Welcome to a special two-part episode of Wonderful World of Darklords! We found ourselves completely unable to contain the discussion of Disney's most adult, complex villain in a single episode. It's not our fault (nostra culpa); we're not to blame (nostra culpa); it was the Disney film that called for our acclaim (nostra maxima culpa). Join Tom, Rachel, and semi-professional Frollo antagonist Kris Newton as we delve into the Cite de Notre Dame and its lord. Topics discussed include:An act of ultimate darkness that draws on another work of gothic literature, which lets us give Frollo some supernatural powers even though you just know he hates magic;How the domain already reflects Frollo's personality and torment, even though it doesn't have a single other hypocritical, genocidal judge;The most exciting point in the events of the movie to set the status quo, giving your PCs the opportunity to take advantage of all those delicious fracture points and tension lines instead of letting the NPCs do it for them;The thematic richness that's already overflowing from Notre Dame Cathedral, the Palace of Justice, and the Court of Miracles, and how to reflect it with both flavor and mechanics;and more! Including, believe it or not, the gargoyles.The full writeup for Cite de Notre Dame is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/427121/Notre-Dame-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread-3-13?affiliate_id=241770&fbclid=IwAR2LTVCoytdbit3aVfa0_n7zLRMdBtVRqlzK_V8gqlbdfwjoS1s3HpRZoQ4You can find Kris at the now-completed Gameable Podcast (https://gameabledisneypodcast.tumblr.com/), the on-hiatus MegaDumbCast (https://megadumbcast.podbean.com/ and https://www.patreon.com/megadumbcast), and the still-active NXT Wrestling Fan (https://nxtwrestlingfan.libsyn.com/)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 FaulknerDialog 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: wonderfulworldofdarklords at gmail dot comFacebook: @wonderfulworldofdarklordsTumblr: @wonderfulworldofdarklordsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/WonderfulWorldofDarklords
