Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords: Marvel May! As soon as we announced this theme last May, you knew this one was coming. Thanos is such a compelling Big Bad for the entire MCU that they've been flailing to replace him ever since Infinity War, and he could make a fantastic Big Bad for your campaign as well . . . but can any villain, no matter how grandiose and self-deluded, be a darklord if they don't have a domain in the source material? Topics discussed include: --The D&D setting that fits perfectly with Thanos's backstory and motivation, and also gives us plenty of flavor for a domain we have to invent almost from whole cloth; --What even is an Infinity Stone in D&D terms, anyway?; --Alternate motivations for Thanos, since resource scarcity is hardly the most pressing problem in Ravenloft; --The dangers of introducing an epic-level villain with an epic-level scheme to any game that isn't all about him; --And more!
