It’s my favorite time of the month as Thomas and Rachel Kolar are back with the newest entry from their Wonderful World of Darklords podcast where they create a new Ravenloft domain inspired by the movies and shows of Disney. This month is The Dark Kingdom where the metropolis of Millenium City is beset by monsters with more citizens disappearing or falling into a coma each night. But there is hope as heroes fight to protect the people, the pretty guardians of love and justice (while in lovely sailor suits). Also, not sure if Sailor Moon counts as Disney or not, but I’ll allow it.
