Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In this episode, we're going from talking tigers to literal freaking gods with what might be our most powerful darklord to date: Hades. (We don't know whether we'd back Hades, Elsa, or Maleficent in a fight, and we don't want to be anywhere in a hundred-mile radius if that ever happens.) Making the god of the underworld a darklord was a tricky proposition; after all, the Dark Powers weren't able to hang onto Vecna. We figured out a solution that lets us bring everyone's favorite evil motor-mouth in without having to shatter the demiplane in the process. Topics discussed include:

How Hercules works in some of the dark, horrifying themes of Greek mythology despite being a bowdlerization, and how to generalize those themes to an entire domain;

How to make your PCs the main characters of a Hercules domain even though the movie has a full-on prophesied Chosen One (it doesn't have to involve killing him this time, we promise!);

Monsters and characters from Greek mythology that lend themselves beautifully to a sprawling domain that still keeps Hades as its primary mover and shaker;

Serious geeking out over the gods of Ravenloft and how the gods of Olympus fit into their metaphysic;

and more!

(We don't actually discuss Vecna. We're sorry. Rachel keeps forgetting Vecna was a darklord because he's connected to so much non-Ravenloft material that the idea of diving into all of it causes her to automatically fail a Fear save. Please don't @ us; it's taking all her willpower not to rerecord the entire episode.)

Technically speaking if you’re the son of Apollo, Ares and any other divine children of Zeus…

You’re still related to Zeus.

If you thought figuring out who you would invite to your wedding was hard, try being Percy and Annabeth with their wedding list.

Kudos by Penelope because if my husband came home after twenty years and was like "yeah I let my best friend and my remaining crew die by lightning strike to get home to you. Because wuv." I would be like "look I made vows and I still love you but holy shit you are sleeping on the couch for a while and doing community service for the rest of your life."
