A monthly podcast converting Disney movies to Ravenloft domains of dread. No affiliation with Disney or WotC. We discuss adapting the setting and the Darklord, as well as how to adapt the Domain for younger or older players. Finally, we discuss how to incorporate this new material into the older, "unified core" Ravenloft setting of 2e/3e.
Available on apple podcasts, spotify, youtube, and most podcatchers. The 13th of every month we adapt an animated movie into a Ravenloft Domain.
The islands of this Domain were once part of a vibrant world ruled by the Olympian gods, but the mists rolled in, and the gods were lost. Only one, Hades, lord of the Underworld, still walks the mortal. Hades is a vicious, ruthless tempter scheming to overthrow his brother Zeus and to avoid the fated thwarting of his plans. But Hades is not the only one bound by fate, and in the Domain of Olympus, all heroes are tragic heroes…
Greek mythology's Hercules, Orpheus's severed head, the canonical darklord who's a monster from Greek mythology, the Greek-mythology inspired Hammer film that scarred Rachel for life, AND MORE!
Olympus is based on Episode 19 of our podcast, "Wonderful World of Darklords", available on apple podcasts, spotify, youtube, and most podcatchers. The 13th of every month we adapt an animated movie into a Ravenloft Domain.
Why do we roll the dice, my children, my children? Why do we roll the dice?
The enemy is probability/ so I just need above a three/ and then l beat the check DC/ and that’s why we roll the dice, we roll the dice, we roll the dice.
On the road to hell there was a railroad line, and if you follow it down to the end of the line, you enter the Domain of Mr. Hades. The god of the underworld, the king of wealth and industry, he sees himself as rightful owner of everything and everyone in his Domain. That includes his wife, goddess of nature, Persephone. Mr. Hades cares not for the destruction and hardship that ravages the mortal world without Persephone, or the sorrow and misery of his indentured workers. But there is a back way into Hades’ Town…
Hades’ Town is based on Episode 19B of our podcast, "Wonderful World of Darklords", available on apple podcasts, spotify, and most podcatchers. It includes a section of adapting Hades’ Town to a Ravenloft Domain originating in Eberron.
The 13th of every month we adapt an animated movie into a Ravenloft Domain and post a new domain write-up here on dmsguild.
San Franciskyoto could be a paradise, a jewel of arcane and technological progress, where the average citizen has access to numerous arcane wonders providing comforts and luxuries most Domains can only dream of. But those same arcane wonders can become terrible dangers. Colorful, magical villains and heroes battle on the streets, heedless of the collateral damage in their wake. Above them all is the masked arcanist Yokai, studying, gathering power, and cracking the fabric of reality itself in his obsessive pursuit of his lost daughter.
San Franciskyoto is based on Episode 20 of our podcast, "Wonderful World of Darklords", available on apple podcasts, spotify, and most podcatchers. It includes a section of adapting San Fanciskyoto to a Ravenloft Domain originating in Eberron.

To see with eyes unclouded by hate. Mononoke Forest is a Domain at war. The villagers of Irontown seek to expand their mining operation into the nearby mountains, and the forest spirits fight back to prevent their expansion. But with enough death, vengeance becomes its own justification, and the two sides are locked into a cycle of violence and retribution personified by their leaders, the co-Darklords, Lady Ehboshi and Sahn. Both sides blindly seek to destroy the other, heedless of the collateral damage and heedless of the darker, more monstrous threat growing in the depths of the forest.
Mononoke Forest is based on Episode 21 of our podcast, "Wonderful World of Darklords", available on apple podcasts, youtube, spotify, and most podcatchers.
