Welcome back to Wonderful World of Darklords! Our summer hiatus has ended, and we're coming back with a franchise that was our white whale for months: the Toy Story trilogy. (Yes, trilogy. We're so glad they didn't make any more movies after Toy Story 3, the perfect ending to the series, la la la we can't hear you.) Lotso is a perfect darklord in so many ways, but how can the PCs interact with a domain in which every important character is a toy that pretends to be inanimate whenever humans are around? Cracking that puzzle was harder than evading a toy monkey in a panopticon, but we managed it without nearly getting ourselves incinerated in the process.
Topics discussed include:
The full writeup for Sunnyside is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/450988/Shadyside-Inn-and-Foundling-Home-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=24177 (In the writeup, we're calling it Shadyside and tweaking the names of a few NPCs to avoid any copyright kerfuffles, but all the information is the same. Shadyside is still ruled by an evil bear who smells of strawberries, even if his name happens to be Lazlo.)
In addition to the free DM's Guild writeup, Tom wrote a Toy Story adventure like our Sleepy Hollow adventure from October! As always with these longer adventures, a caveat: while our DM's Guild writeups for domains are free and always will be, adventures are a LOT more work and DM's Guild doesn't give us the option of "no, no, it's free for regular podcast listeners but everyone else has to pay." HOWEVER, just like with Sleepy Hollow and the Raven Nebula, we have a coupon code to get our listeners the adventure for 99 cents instead of $1.99 until the end of September. (And if you join our Patreon, you can get access to a free link!) Check out the discounted link here: https://www.dmsguild.com/shopping_cart.php?products_id=450987
