Episode 31: Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Many, MANY of you have asked for a domain based on the Disney movie about a team of heavily armed transients who dive through subterranean tunnels in search of either treasure or a sad, unresolved Bond. Atlantis is, without question, the most D&D movie that Disney has ever done, and while it's more Eberron or Spelljammer than Ravenloft, we're here for the challenge. Because, hey, that's what this is all about, right? I mean, imagination, teamwork, intellectual puzzles. Unless, maybe...we're just in it for the cool submarine. Topics discussed include:The challenge of choosing a darklord for Atlantis, since Rourke is there to ransack, not to rule;The D&D equivalent of "technologically advanced immortals who have somehow forgotten how to use their technology and read;"A default adventure for Atlantis that will still (hopefully) have plot twists and surprises for players who have seen the movie;Ideas for adapting Atlantis to Eberron and Dragonlance, with or without Ravenloft attached;And more!The full write-up for Atlantis is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/510757/The-Lost-Empire-of-Atlantis-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?view_as_pub=1Our fundraiser for Catholic Legal Immigration Services is here: https://gofund.me/628989d5 There doesn't seem to be a place for comments, so please email or message us with your Listener's Choice nominee after donating.Timestamps0:00 Introduction7:32 The Lord43:10 The Land54:15 Dread Possibilities1:18:11 Aging Up (CW racism, slavery, colonialism, inbreeding)1:22:23 Aging Up ends1:35:36 Parting Thoughts1:59:59 D’s Parting ThoughtsContent Advisory for D's Journal (details on content advisories can be found on Facebook, Tumblr, and Patreon)Corpses (major), racism (moderate), colonialism (minor), slavery (minor), genocide (minor)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 FaulknerRachmaninoff Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op. 3 - 2.
