Description

Ahoy, me hearties, and welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In this episode, we be discussin' the 2002 cult classic Treasure Planet, a movie perhaps more suited to Spelljammer than Ravenloft--but we vowed to bring ye domains of dread, by t'under, and we be folk of our word. Subjects discussed include:

• How to put Treasure Planet back in the ocean while still makin' it feel like Treasure Planet, not Treasure Island (because I promise ye, mateys, once yer players go to space there's no comin' back);
• How to use a darklord whose torment is "he'll never find the McGuffin" while still givin' yer PCs the pleasure of findin' it themselves;
• Genres of horror for a story that, while a crackin' adventure yarn, is a bit of a lubber as far as scares are concerned;
• Ideas for how to bring these scurvy pirates to existin' domains, from the deadly waters of the Sea of Sorrows to the booty-rich ports of Borca;
• and more!

(And no, we don't be talkin' like this in the episode, me bucko, never fear.)
