Episode 15: Coco
Manage episode 379662151 series 3359487
Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Since we release on the 13th of each month, our Coco episode was either going to be early or fashionably late for Day of the Dead, and we decided on early. Ernesto de la Cruz is a phenomenal darklord, and you can't go wrong with skeletons for a domain aesthetic, but getting the PCs to the Land of the Dead without an elaborate setup involving the theft of a guitar from a mausoleum was tricky. We cracked it, though, and we'll be discussing that along with:
- How to give de la Cruz an ongoing torment that generates plot hooks, since he seems to be living his best unlife coasting on "Remember Me,"
- The horrific undertones of Coco that initially turned us off the movie (don't worry, we came around), and how to exploit those if you're making the setting horrific on purpose;
- Some ideas for additional ghost stories or undead antagonists that fit Coco's themes of memory and reputation, along with a whole lot of references to Van Richten's Guide to Ghosts;
- The canon darklord who truly, passionately, and unconditionally loathes de la Cruz;
- and more, including a milestone in our Genres of Horror section!
The full writeup for Santa Cecilia is available for free on DM's Guild: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/455286/Santa-Cecilia-A-Ravenloft-Domain-of-Dread?affiliate_id=241770 (Much like last month, we're tweaking de la Cruz's name to avoid flirting with copyright infringement.)
