Episode 24: Pirates of the Caribbean
Manage episode 428630081 series 3359487
Welcome to the second installment of the Wonderful World of Darklords Summer Blockbuster series! In this episode, we're going to look at the only movies in our series that actually busted blocks: the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. (Mostly the original trilogy, but we'll touch on 4 and 5). Topics discussed include:
- Which of the MANY candidates for darklord we settled on, plus AU discussions about the other possibilities (including potential torments, how to make the domain reflect them, and the type of adventure you can run with them, if you're wondering why this episode passed our usual 2:10 ceiling);
- The highly gameable hallmarks of a Pirates of the Caribbean adventure (credit to Ryan George's Pitch Meeting series), which you can use to make your own sessions feel appropriately Pirate-y;
- Trade wars between the East India Trading Company and the Boritsi Trading Company, both of which are constantly beset by pirates, and WHY ARE WE NOT PLAYING THIS GAME RIGHT NOW;
- Chicken Bone;
- and more!
The full writeup for Davy Jones' Locker is available on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/486011/Davy-Jones-Locker-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770
If you want to fall down the same rabbit hole that Rachel fell down to reach D's adventures in this episode, this is a good start: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/podcasts/overheard/article/queens-of-the-high-seas
