So happy Kraken Week brought me here! Running a Pirates-inspired Domain of Dread with Davy as the Darklord sounds sooooo enticing. Can't wait to hear the rest of the podcast episode!

Go Pointy Hat and Ginny for getting it Kraken. Great content, thanks y'all. My wife loves Disney so I'll be stealing several ideas from your channel lol

[@WonderfulWorldofDarklord]

Thank you! We've got the two Mist Travellers (and more coming) who are just Disney NPCs, if you don't want to do a whole Domain. Cruella DeVeill can drop in to a lot of campaigns.

Intriguing

this a little of your treasure planet and some peater pan and i have a new dark priet plane idea growning thank you for your lovly and amazing ideas also Hello im new and now your podcasts are now on my list for ever!!

[@WonderfulWorldofDarklord]

Thank you! It was hard to make these Domains seperate, and the whole episode will go into some of the differences we see between these Domains.

First time seeing your channel (via kraken week) but I love the concept y'all are using. Been a Ravenloft fan since back in the 2e days and its wonderful to see the setting getting so much new content from creators. Def subscribing, look forward to checking out the other darklords you've covered 👍👍

[@WonderfulWorldofDarklord]

Thanks! Rachel's the real Ravenloft Grognard, she's been playing since second edition. I started playing D&D with third edition, and the first two full campaigns I played were Ravenloft campaigns she was DMing.

[@KS-PNW]

@@WonderfulWorldofDarklord oh that's awesome. Call me a curmudgeon but I feel like the rebooted Ravenloft lost a lot of the depth that made it such an entertaining setting in favor of easy villain of the week one shots. Nice to know someone with a background in both is doing these. Was already a cool concept but that just makes it sound even cooler, IMHO.

[@WonderfulWorldofDarklord]

@@KS-PNW We both love the old 2e-3e unified core setting, and we actually tried to merge that with our "Raven Nebula"/Treasure Planet setting. We had each Domain as a solar system in the Astral Mist, but there were stable mistways between the Domains, so you could have a consistent "geography"- Planet Barovia is "next" to Planet Darkon because they have a direct mistway connecting them.

[@RobearRich]

So glad that SuperGeekMike recommended you guys on his. This was great!

[@WonderfulWorldofDarklord]

thank you! I had no idea we'd gotten a shout out until your comment. It explained the spike in listeners of the last few days.

[@atlaskeep2703]

I've been wanting to use the flying Dutchman and Davy Jones on a campaign for a while so this is great! I'll definitely be checking the complete episode once it comes out, in the mean time I'll take a look at the rest of your channel.

[@WonderfulWorldofDarklord]

Thank you! Our "Treasure Planet" Domain write-up has a lot of pirate story hooks you could use in the meantime. www.dmsguild.com/product/418121/Treasure-Island-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770

[@AzraelThanatos]

Davey Jones kind of fits more as a "lesser" darklord from earlier editions with the Flying Dutchman as the pocket. I can't remember if the pockets popped up in the earlier ones, but they became a major thing with chunks of the 3e stuff Sword and Sorcery books, where they're, essentially, mobile domains that can intrude into other domains if different conditions are met. One of them was a heavily corrupted unicorn with a horrific glade that could pop up in any forest in any domain, that's Addar...there's also the fiendish tyrannosaurus that, essentially, had his own similar thing that is implied to be such a thing, but popped up in the encounter articles that WotC used to put out where each month was a new encounter with a new part each week, and the crawling jungle was a nightmare scenario Having something similar where the Dutchman can show up in the seas or any port or coast

[@WonderfulWorldofDarklord]

I love pocket domains! I think they're one of the most narratively useful things in Ravenloft. We has Davy Jones' locker be a full setting (an archipelago) but we had pocket domains for Home Alone, Toy Story, Wandavision, and Nightmare before Christmas.
