Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Today's domain ended up being MUCH harder than we anticipated. Horror versions of Wonderland are a dime a dozen, but fitting it into the specific mold of a Ravenloft domain was another matter entirely. Follow us down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass as we discuss:
Our potential darklord candidates, including the reason why neither Alice, the Queen of Hearts, or the Red Queen alone had what it took to be our darklord (and also a rant about how the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts are completely different characters);
Why you do not, under any circumstances, want to go overboard with the worldbuilding;
Communicating the strangeness of Wonderland in the language of D&D as well as through description;
Some of Wonderland's major horror themes, so your dark horror version of Wonderland feels like Wonderland instead of like a Hot Topic t-shirt of a blood-soaked Cheshire Cat;
Content Advisory (details on content advisories can be found on Facebook,Tumblr, and Patreon)
Mind control (major), torture (major), slavery (major), trauma (major), memory manipulation (major). If necessary, you can skip directly from the "I remembered..." timestamp to the "My dreams..." timestamp; it's got the worst of the content warning stuff, and it's mostly reiterating information that the listener already knows.

In which a whole lot of metaplot comes together. The in-character fiction from the episode without the in-depth out of character discussion for the domain.

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! At long last, we get to an episode that we've been teasing for over a year, and that y'all have been asking for pretty much from episode one: Aladdin It combines a darklord with impeccable vibes, a setting with...somewhat problematic vibes that make it peccable but ridiculously cool, and well-earned nostalgia that brings it a ton of emotional power. Sit back and ruminate while we illuminate the possibilities for you. Topics discussed include:
A broader motivation for Jafar that makes the lamp his top priority but not his only one, since "every week he tries to get the lamp from Aladdin and fails" is going to get really repetitive, really fast;
The character class that gives Jafar all the magic your players will expect him to have, but still makes him miserable;
How to bring Jasmine and Aladdin into your game without having them steal the spotlight from your PCs;
Elements from the TV show you can bring in, including a villain that all you 90s kids KNEW was going to get mentioned;
In which D journeys into the mouth of madness. The in-character fiction from the episode without the in-depth out of character discussion for the domain.

Our name's Wonderful World of Darklords, and we're a podcast. Uh, let's see...we're three and a half years old, 42 episodes long, got a bit of sappiness in us. Our passion bubbles very near the surface, I guess, not gonna lie. Anywho, uh, what else...we're converters. We convert Disney movies to Ravenloft domains, professionally. I mean, we're very good at what we do. Thing is, being a Byronic cesspool is the name of the game. Literally. That's what the "darklord" in Wonderful World of Darklords is. So yeah, naturally King Candy is the guy we're talking about. When he does an act of ultimate darkness, he gets a domain. But are there domains for an act of ultimate Disney movie to Ravenloft domain conversion? To that, we say ha! And no, there aren't. Which is honestly a good thing, because when we see King Candy out there, living in a hell of his own creation, constantly terrified that Vanellope will come and unravel all his lies, sometimes we think...man, it sure must be awful being the bad guy. Topics discussed include:
How the heck to translate an arcade full of living video game characters into D&D terms, and how to get your PCs interacting with them when they are not, themselves, video game characters;
Making King Candy even more hateable (which is impressive, because he's already REALLY AWFUL);
Why the cy-bugs, while ridiculously cool, don't complicate the setting as much as we thought they would;
The underrated John Carpenter movie that shows how to bring out the horror in what's mostly a pretty fantasy-heavy, horror-light setting;
Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Kris Newton joins us as we close out 2025 with a discussion of Oliver and Company, and with it, the class option that has tragically never made it into a single edition of D&D: Doggie Crime Lord. Topics discussed include:
Why a sadsack with a gambling addiction and a team of canine pickpockets is going to be irresistible for a whole lot of PCs;
The versatility of this version of Bill Sykes, and how he can function as a low-level henchman for a variety of heavy hitters your PCs can tangle with later;
The joys of treasure that comes with strings attached;
In which D travels home for the holidays. The full episode can be found on Patreon, but we wanted to make this portion of it public to give a sense of the status quo with D's family.
