Episode 11: The Last Unicorn

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In the spirit of April Fools, we're taking a break from Disney to look at another beloved animated film (and an even more beloved book). We like to watch it. It fills us with joy. The first time we saw it, we thought we were going to die. We said to each other, we must podcast about it, all of it, all there is! For nothing makes us happy but its shining and its grace.Topics discussed include:The thread that unites almost every character's interactions with the unicorn in the movie and novel, and how to adapt that theme into interactions with your PCs;Tips for letting your PCs fill the role of the unicorn in the story (since she's clearly the protagonist, and presumably none of your PCs are unicorns);The difficulty of adapting a transcendently beautiful work of fantasy into a horror setting without violating the spirit of the source material;An on-mic epiphany about the second genre of horror (the first is predictable);And more!The full writeup for King Haggard's Land is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/430305/King-Haggards-Land-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770All 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.
