(Sorry for the late Tumblr update; Rachel's laptop is attempting to join the happy haunts.)
CONTENT ADVISORY: because the 2023 film version of The Haunted Mansion involves convincing a living soul to die and join the happy haunts, this episode discusses suicide.
Welcome, foolish mortals, to Wonderful World of Darklords! We are your hosts--your podcast hosts. Kindly load the full episode, and make room (on your hard drive) for every byte. There's no turning back now. Unless you stop listening five minutes in, I suppose. There's always that way out...
This episode is primarily drawing on the 2023 Haunted Mansion movie since it has a darklord and a plot, but if you prefer other versions of the Mansion, don't worry; we're incorporating as many as possible. Topics discussed include:
How to give Alistair Crump, a fun but cartoonishly evil villain, an element of tragedy and relatability;
How to essentially turn the Haunted Mansion into Hill House, Hell House, or the Overlook;
Alternate versions of the domain that highlight other ghosts as the darklord or boss, including Ramsley the butler, Constance Hatchaway, Henry Ravenswood, or even Madam Leota;
So, so, SO many mechanics from the older material to represent hauntings;
And more!
The full write-up for the Haunted Mansion is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/497406/The-Haunted-Manor-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770
Grim Grinning Gauntlet, Michael Loving's version of the haunted mansion as a pure dungeon crawl, is available here: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/254923/Grim-Grinning-Gauntlet

OTD in Music History: Legendary composer, conductor, and virtuoso pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943) makes his first public appearance as a concert pianist, at the “Moscow Electrical Exhibition” in 1892. Among other things, he performed his own “Morceaux de Fantaisie” (Op. 3) -- a then-four-part piano suite which included one of the most famous pieces he would ever compose, the “Prelude in c#.” Rachmaninoff was paid 50 rubles for this appearance. That doesn't mean much to us today... so as a point of comparison, we can note that he was paid only *40* rubles (which was still approximately two months’ worth of wages for a common factory worker in Russia at that time) by a music publisher in exchange for the *copyright* to the entire “Morceaux de Fantaisie” set. Of course, had Rachmaninoff merely held onto the copyright in the Prelude in c# *alone*, it would have made him a fortune down the line
 Rachmaninoff originally conceived of the “Morceaux” as a set of four pieces, but he ended up adding a fifth piece after reading an interview which Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1840 – 1893) granted to a Russian newspaper critic a few weeks after his debut public concert, in which he cited Rachmaninoff as one of the most outstanding young musicians in Russia. Rachmaninoff idolized Tchaikovsky, and was thrilled by this praise. As he later recounted: "I immediately sat down at the piano and composed a fifth piece (the ‘Serenade’) on the spot." Rachmaninov premiered this five-piece version of the suite at a subsequent concert appearance in December 1892, and two months later he also gave Tchaikovsky one of the first copies of the newly-published score to the set. (Tchaikovsky loved it.) PICTURED: A c. 1900 real photo postcard, showing a young Rachmaninoff as he would have appeared at the beginning of his international concert career.

My dear friend's account for their podcast, Wonderful World of Darklords, is locked out of Tumblr for mysterious reasons (read: Tumblr bot failure). And on the day of their monthly episode drop too, so I am posting for them. My friends take inspiration from Disney films (well, normally...in April they do non-Disney) and convert them into Ravenloft Domains of Dread. I write a small portion of the show as "Yensid" (aka Azalin using a false name) , the warlock D's patron who writes up the reports on each of these Domains. Anyway, here is their pitch. Give it a listen if you're interested: Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In the spirit of April Fool's Day, we're once again taking a break from Disney movies for this month's episode (yes, we know Disney distributed the Ghiblis for a while, but we operate under strict Calvinball rules in which Home Alone can be a regular episode but Princess Mononoke can't). There's so much nightmare fuel in Princess Mononoke that it's almost redundant to turn it into a horror setting, but turning it into a Ravenloft domain is another matter entirely. Topics discussed include:
How to give Irontown and the forest an unforgivable, irredeemable darklord when one of the movie's main themes is that no one is unforgivable or irredeemable (except Jigo, who we're going to discuss a lot);
A Disney movie that we will never, ever make an episode about, but that actually has quite a bit of thematic overlap with Princess Mononoke, so you can just pretend this is that episode if you want;
Multiple AU possibilities for the darklord, ranging from "fairly obvious" to "high-concept fever dream;"
The canon darklord who can fill the same role as Lord Asano but with more personality;
and more!
The full writeup for the Mononoke Forest is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/476619/Mononoke-Forest-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770
The real-life inspiration for the forest was Shiratani Unsuikyo on Yakushima Island. Swoon over some photos that look like they should have Okkoto in them here: https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/shiratani-unsuikyo

Quelle merveille !
Ce livre vient de remporter le Prix des Inrocks du premier roman, et je comprends pourquoi. C’est un trĂ©sor d’humour et de mĂ©lancolie.
Ce n’est pas un roman, ni une autobiographie, ni un livre de cuisine, ni un documentaire sur la mĂ©moire des ashkĂ©nazes, mais un peu tout ça Ă  la fois.
L’écriture est fragmentaire, faite de phrases oĂč Ă©ventuellement de paragraphes, dont la nature est composite : dictons, recettes, Ă©lĂ©ments factuels sur la carpe ou historiques, anecdotes familiales, pensĂ©es, qui s’enchaĂźnent par association. Car la narratrice a « l’esprit de l’escalier », comme elle le dit, et un goĂ»t profond pour le presque rien, une forme de modestie exacerbĂ©e qu’elle associe Ă  son appartenance ashkĂ©naze. Le fragment Ă©pouse l’idĂ©e qui sous-tend tout le livre : elle commence en dĂ©clarant (je paraphrase) que lorsqu’un objet est brisĂ©, on ne retrouve jamais l’entiĂšretĂ© des morceaux, certains, parfois minuscules, sont perdus pour toujours, et elle finit le livre en faisant allusion Ă  l’art japonais du kintsugi qui prĂ©cisĂ©ment consiste Ă  recoller les morceaux de porcelaine sans vouloir gommer les brisures mais en les soulignant Ă  la poudre d’or.
L’écriture ici serait l’or, celui de la mĂ©moire, du dĂ©sir de renouer avec un passĂ© qui s’enfuit, qui se dilue, menace de disparaĂźtre. Il s’agit Ă©videmment de cette identitĂ© juive, et d’un passĂ© douloureux. Dans les brisures du rĂ©cit apparaĂźt le trou bĂ©ant non explorĂ© de la Shoah, mais qui devient palpable, entre les lignes, dans les trous de la mĂ©moire, dans par exemple, le tombeau du grand-pĂšre qui a quittĂ© la Pologne Ă  temps pour se sauver, tombeau qui porte le nom d’ĂȘtres dont les corps n’ont pas Ă©tĂ© enterrĂ©s parce qu’ils ont disparu dans les camps.
On pourrait dire que l’autrice approche son sujet avec fantaisie, en crabe, mĂȘme si la star du rĂ©cit est pourtant cette fameuse carpe farcie, plat de fĂȘte qu’elle dĂ©crit comme vilain et assez insipide. Petite, elle ne comprenait pas la cuisine ashkĂ©naze qui semblait si pĂąle et si fade, mais en vieillissant, elle a Ă©prouvĂ© une forme de sentimentalisme pour les plats de son enfance, et tous les souvenirs familiaux liĂ©s Ă  la confection des repas. Elle Ă©maille ses souvenirs de mots yiddishs, qu’elle orthographie comme elle les a entendus car elle n’a jamais appris cette langue ; et elle s’attache Ă  dĂ©crire des figures aimĂ©es, son pĂšre par exemple, fan de Colombo ; elle trouve un trait commun aux deux hommes : un goĂ»t pour le dĂ©fraĂźchi, le beige sale, le low profile en sorte. Et Ă  travers ces goĂ»ts culinaires si peu Ă©clatants, ces portraits peu glorieux, elle fait le portrait incomplet de sa famille, d’un peuple dont les traditions se diluent, avec autant de tendresse que d’ironie, comme elle l’a appris. Encore un hĂ©ritage, prĂ©cieux, moins fragile que d’autres.
Son livre m’a touchĂ©e en plein cƓur, alors que cet univers m’est complĂštement inconnu. Elle a rĂ©ussi Ă  transmettre l’amour intime et pudique d’une fille pour ses aĂźnĂ©s, en ayant l’élĂ©gance de jongler avec l’humour et le spectre de la perte, le gouffre de l’indicible.
Un beau livre, discret, humble, qui dĂ©tonne avec l’actualitĂ© sombre qui, en plus des crimes Ă©tourdissants, hurle des revendications contradictoires dĂ©plaisantes dans tous les sens.

❃ : My muse and social media. (If the muse is/would be on social media and why/why not, their general opinion on it, e.t.c.) 
"Too colorful, noisy, and shallow."
Tumblr media
"I don't understand why humans can while away hours on their tiny phone screens scrolling through variations of the same joke while burning their retinas. It seems to be a symptom of a poorly-managed mind."
If he ever ends up with a social media account, either Klaus made it for him or he made one...to follow Klaus.
✧ : My muse and art. (If they have an artistic side or not and why, favourite artist if they have one, e.t.c.) 
"Of course. Art is a blessing—I'm particular towards music myself."
Tumblr media
"It's been an experience learning of the different composers they have in other worlds...I seem to be partial to Rachm*nioff at the moment. Have you heard of his Morceaux de fantaisie? The prelude in C sharp is a favorite."
✉  : My muse and others. (If they social and outgoing or more introverted, and why. If they prefer communicating with others face to face or in written form, e.t.c.). 
he's a bit of both, but he's definitely more used to being an introvert. he thinks a lot, and it was easy for him to spend days without saying anything if he didn't find someone worth talking to. (also because being in charge of a brainwashed army means everyone listens to you and understands exactly what you mean with the least amount of words.)
his long monologues now are basically...his thoughts taking spoken form.
socializing was a pointless activity until he met klaus, and then it was fun. talking with others face-to-face is much preferred, because he can read micro-expressions that way, which are very interesting for him! but if he hates your guts it's better to stick to letters (or text...).

Avant-cuvée 2024 : 5/8
Retour aux standards habituels en cette fin septembre, avec "seulement" six disques sélectionnés. C'est désormais prÚs d'un tiers de la cuvée 2024 qui est couverte !
Fontaines D.C. | Romance
Tumblr media
🇼đŸ‡Ș Irlande | XL Recordings | 37 minutes | 11 morceaux
La bande Ă  Grian Chatten affirme ici moins clairement son irlanditĂ© (notamment par rapport Ă  l’album prĂ©cĂ©dent), et dĂ©livre un rock plus direct taillĂ© pour les stades – avec changement de label Ă  la clĂ©. Un tournant sans compromission ni relĂąchement crĂ©atif cependant. Fontaines D.C. va sans doute Ă©largir son audience avec ce disque, mais il reste le groupe intransigeant et passionnant dĂ©couvert il y a plus de cinq ans dans les caves de Dublin.
🎧 Starbuster
Magdalena Bay | Imaginal Disk
Tumblr media
đŸ‡ș🇾 Etats-Unis | Mom + Pop | 54 minutes | 15 morceaux
Le duo formĂ© par Mica Tenenbaum et Matthew Lewin, tous deux Ă©chappĂ©s du groupe de prog rock Tabula Rasa, franchit un cap spectaculaire avec ce second album d’une ampleur folle. Synthpop psychĂ©dĂ©lique puisant son inspiration dans une variĂ©tĂ© foisonnante de styles (et d’époques), leur musique marrie ici l’audace Ă  l’évidence, l’étrangetĂ© Ă  l’émotion. IndĂ©pendamment du rĂ©cit conceptuel bien loUFOque qu’il dĂ©veloppe, Imaginal Disk emporte irrĂ©sistiblement l’auditeur par sa fantaisie et par son Ă©clat.
🎧 Cry for Me
Nala Sinephro | Endlessness
Tumblr media
🇧đŸ‡Ș Belgique | Warp Records | 45 minutes | 10 morceaux
Multi-instrumentiste belgo-caribĂ©enne installĂ©e Ă  Londres, Nala Sinephro approfondit le chemin mĂ©ditatif tracĂ© sur son premier album (Space 1.8, sorti en 2021) mais avec un rĂ©sultat d'une toute autre altitude : plus dense, plus fluide et plus cosmique. BĂąti autour d’un motif de synthĂ©tiseur arpĂ©gĂ© qui mute subtilement en traversant chacun des dix morceaux du disque, Endlessness est un continuum harmonieux d’une grĂące Ă©blouissante, une cĂ©lĂ©bration extatique mĂȘlant harpe, saxophone, textures Ă©lectroniques et orchestre jazz (avec quelques pointures de la scĂšne londonienne actuelle).
🎧 Continuum 6
Tristwch Y Fenywod | s/t
Tumblr media
đŸŽó §ó ąó ·ó Źó łó ż Pays de Galles | Night School Records | 37 minutes | 8 morceaux
Tristwch Y Fenywod, qui signifie "Le chagrin des femmes" en gallois (langue de chant exclusif de ce trio féminin), présente sur ce premier album un univers goth-folk imprégné de mythologie celtique et de références à la nature. Composé de trois artistes de la scÚne underground de Leeds (en Angleterre), le groupe parvient à créer une atmosphÚre mystique saisissante en maniant les chants incantatoires, les percussions martiales et les sons de cithare.
🎧 Y Trawsnewidiad
Water Damage | In E
Tumblr media
đŸ‡ș🇾 Etats-Unis | 12XU | 83 minutes | 4 morceaux
Ce 4e album du collectif texan Water Damage hisse le rock rĂ©pĂ©titif au rang d’expĂ©rience sensorielle radicale. Naviguant entre noise et krautrock, In E est un chaos organisĂ© et hypnotique oscillant durant plus de 80 minutes d’une variation Ă  une autre, sans jamais rompre l’état de transe qu’il gĂ©nĂšre. Avec, au milieu d’une armada de batteurs, de bassistes et de guitaristes, un violon tranchant et martial comme fil conducteur.
🎧 Reel E
NilĂŒfer Yanya | My Method Actor
Tumblr media
đŸŽó §ó ąó „ó źó §ó ż Angleterre | Ninja Tune | 44 minutes | 11 morceaux
Nilufer Yanya ajoute un magnifique troisiĂšme cĂŽtĂ© Ă  sa discographie, parachevant un triangle crĂ©atif qui a trĂšs peu d’équivalent parmi les songwriters contemporains. On retrouve sur My Method Actor, avec un plaisir immense, les ingrĂ©dients de tout premier ordre prĂ©sents sur ses deux prĂ©dĂ©cesseurs (cette voix et ce phrasĂ©, captivants ; ce jeu de guitare et cette complexitĂ© Ă©motionnelle, enivrants). Mais on savoure aussi la subtile Ă©volution apportĂ©e dans l’approche et la tonalitĂ© gĂ©nĂ©rale, qui en font un disque diffĂ©rent et qui tĂ©moigne d’un cheminement artistique rĂ©flĂ©chi, maitrisĂ© mais plein de vitalitĂ© et de tensions.

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In the spirit of Thanksgiving and of thankfulness for you, our listeners, we're presenting the domain you chose in our Listeners' Choice poll: Spirited Away. Yubaba is an excellent villain, Chihiro's parents and No-Face give us some phenomenal horror moments, and we actually see the bathhouse's borders close in the first twenty minutes of the movie...but the bathhouse feels more like a Domain of Delight than of Dread, and Yubaba doesn't have much of a backstory even in ancillary materials, so we had our work cut out for us. Topics discussed include:
An Act of Ultimate Darkness and element of tragedy/relatability for Yubaba that plays into some themes we might not have been able to work into the domain otherwise;
Why Zeniba and Yubaba hate each other with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns, and how to play up that rivalry in a way that lends itself to more traditional D&D antics than Ghibli movies typically allow;
How to get your PCs to seek out jobs in the bathhouse and sign their names away to Yubaba even though there's no way in the Nine Hells they're going to think it's a good idea;
The sorts of adventures one can have in a setting that doesn't lend itself to combat, puzzle-solving, or the disarming of traps;
and more!
