Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! Second edition already did a Jungle Book-inspired domain with the Wildlands, but it didn't make the jump into 5e and it had some key differences from its source material, which means that this movie is as ripe for picking as a pawpaw or a prickly pear (as opposed to classic Disney movies that are already covered in 5e by certain Dementlieus we can name). As a heads up, we love both the classic animated Jungle Book and the 2016 live-action version, so we're going to be bringing in elements from both. Topics discussed include:

• Why we feel it's crucial that the humans in the man village be much more innocent than humans typically are in a man-versus-nature story;
• The rich potential of a setting that has so many NPCs with their own agendas, from Bagheera, the vultures, and the wolves to Kaa, King Louie, and old stripes himself;
• "Aging-down" ideas for allowing an entire party of Mowglis, each raised by different animals;
• The style of campaign we've barely discussed in this podcast that fits Jungle Book like tiny red shorts;
• and more!
