Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Our generous listeners donated to the Capital Area Food Bank and voted for their horror movie minisode of choice, so here we are with Repo! The Genetic Opera. This was our first time watching it, and we're going through the Rotti Largo highs and the Luigi Largo lows to bring you a splatterpunk gothic dystopia. With uncensored F bombs. You have been warned. Topics discussed include:
- How to bring your PCs into a movie that, at its heart, is a personal story about a handful of people making their tragic backstory everyone's problem (but then, isn't that Ravenloft in a nutshell?);
- The possibility of a heroic faction in a movie where pretty much everyone is awful;
- The gloriously weird and RPG-friendly potential of genetic modifications;
- An old-school domain we've never talked about on mic before that gives a model for killing Rotti without freeing him from his torment;
- and more!
