Episode 13: Robin Hood

Oo-de-lally! Oo-de-lally! Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! One year ago today, we aired our pilot: a domain ruled by a petty, vindictive lion who usurped his elder brother's throne. To celebrate our podcast anniversary, we're returning to that well with another petty, vindictive lion who usurped his elder brother's throne: Prince John. Topics discussed include:The challenges of Ravenloft-izing a movie in which the hero is far more dynamic, interesting, and competent than the villain (not a common issue in Disney movies);The darklord powers that a villain as pathetic as Prince John can bring to the table;How to bring horror into one of the most lighthearted, silly, and non-horrific movies in the Disney canon, without going against the spirit of the Robin Hood legend;The potential that the Merry Men have for guerrilla warfare, creepy fey magic, and unspeakable cultic practices;and more!The full writeup for Nottingham is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/437923/Nottingham-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770For Book Club of Dread next month, we'll be drinking Hocus Pocus Punch, which you can find here: https://crayonsandcravings.com/hocus-pocus-punch/ Be very careful if you decide to spike it; it sneaks up on you.
