The Peddler's Tales, Episode 3: Shan Yu

Happy Holidays, and welcome to the Peddler's Tales! In a Yuletide miracle, we are finally joined by the powerful, the pleasurable, the indestructible Kris Newton as we discuss one of our favorite non-darklord Disney villains: Shan Yu. Topics discussed include:Why Shan Yu not only doesn't work as a darklord, but would be seriously diminished as a villain if you made him one;The existential threat Shan Yu poses to the PCs, the innocent bystanders of Ravenloft, and even the darklords themselves;Rachel's unquenchable Shan Yu thirst, and how you can use it to make Shan Yu a thirst trap, uneasy ally, or living moral dilemma for your PCs;More ways to tie Shan Yu into Vecna: Eve of Ruin than anyone expected;And more!Full writeups for Shan Yu, the doll, and the falconing glove are available for free on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/118783518/There doesn't seem to be a video of just Shan Yu's deleted scene on YouTube, but you can find all the deleted scenes here: https://youtu.be/5zOXI2cnbDE?si=H__nwuc7mtDOuP7iYou can find Kris at the now-completed Gameable Podcast (https://gameabledisneypodcast.tumblr.com/), the now-active MegaDumbCast (https://megadumbcast.podbean.com/ and https://www.patreon.com/megadumbcast), and occasionally on the still-active Hard Choices (https://hardchoices.libsyn.com/).All music recordings are in the public domain (mark 1.0) and are licensed through https://musopen.org:Arabian Dance, from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, via the European ArchiveThe 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: [email protected]: @wonderfulworldofdarklordsTumblr: @wonderfulworldofdarklordsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/WonderfulWorldofDarklords
