The Wonderful World of Darklords

Episode 31: Atlantis: The Lost Empire


Listen Later

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Many, MANY of you have asked for a domain based on the Disney movie about a team of heavily armed transients who dive through subterranean tunnels in search of either treasure or a sad, unresolved Bond. Atlantis is, without question, the most D&D movie that Disney has ever done, and while it's more Eberron or Spelljammer than Ravenloft, we're here for the challenge. Because, hey, that's what this is all about, right? I mean, imagination, teamwork, intellectual puzzles. Unless, maybe...we're just in it for the cool submarine. Topics discussed include:

  • The challenge of choosing a darklord for Atlantis, since Rourke is there to ransack, not to rule;
  • The D&D equivalent of "technologically advanced immortals who have somehow forgotten how to use their technology and read;"
  • A default adventure for Atlantis that will still (hopefully) have plot twists and surprises for players who have seen the movie;
  • Ideas for adapting Atlantis to Eberron and Dragonlance, with or without Ravenloft attached;
  • And more!
