Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords: Marvel May! It's the inaugural episode of something we're hoping to make an annual tradition, but honestly, we kind of invented the whole thing just so we could talk about what might be the most obvious Ravenloft domain Disney has ever done. (If you wanted to describe Ravenloft domains to someone who wasn't familiar with the concept, you could do worse than "It's like WandaVision.") Topics discussed include:
• The D&D equivalent of a warm, safe sitcom set in a slice of idyllic suburban Americana;
• How to bring your PCs into a domain that the darklord wants to keep locked down at all times, and how to maintain the feel of WandaVision without stripping away their agency the moment they set foot in Westview;
• The goofy D&D sitcom versions of multiple MCU characters, all of whom are screaming on the inside;
• Whether or not it was, in fact, Agatha all along;
• And more!
The full writeup for Westview is available for free on DM's Guild: www.dmsguild.com/product/4802... (%C2%A0www.dmsguild.com/product/4802...) Even if you normally just listen to the episode without reading the writeup, we highly recommend checking out the writeup after listening this time. We came up with the "sitcom shenanigans" table after recording and couldn't discuss it on mic, and we are SO proud of that thing.
