MadCap's D&D Builds - Aku (Samurai Jack) (5e)

LOOOOOOOOOOONG AGO IN A DISTANT LAND... I made this build (I wrote this one in June, to be fair).

Let's build us the shapeshifting master of Darkness!

That's right, we're building Aku from Samurai Jack! Let's do it!

MadCap's D&D Builds - Pyramid Head (Silent Hill) (5e)

An icon of a franchise that people either hate or love, it's time to build Pyramid Head from the Silent Hill franchise. Originating in Silent Hill 2, Pyramid Head has become to the Silent Hill franchise what Nemesis is to Resident Evil. Whether you like it or not, he keeps popping up in the games even to the point of showing up in Dead By Daylight. Now, he pops up in D&D.

MadCap's D&D Builds - Slenderman (Slenderman Mythos) (5e)

The Beast. Daddy Long Legs. Gorr'Rylaehotep.

The being known as Slenderman goes by many names. Originally appearing in the Something Awful forums for a photoshop contest, this featureless, tall, thin mannequin in a black suit has gone far and wide since his first appearance in 2009, becoming an internet and a pop culture phenomenon. A legend in his own time, permeating the pop culture zeitgeist.

So, naturally, I decided he'd be a perfect choice for a character build for Horror Month 2024. W̵̧̧̱̫̮̳̠̲̮̳͗͝ḩ̸͕̤͓̭̝̫̍͊̈́̔͒̎͊͗͊́͊̈̋̍̚ͅä̵̧̖͇̱͖̘̳̯̰̹̩̗́̾̓́̐̾́̎͆̆̃̑͘̕t̷͉̪̲͖͌ͅ ̸̢͖͔͚͇͇͈͍̱̼̱̱̣̯̓̈́̈́͋c̶͍̻͚͘ō̸̧̮̭̮͍͛͗̾̏̒̄̈́͆͋̚̕ů̷̬̖̙̝͍͆̄̋͑́͘͜l̶̼̪̱̱̬̣͚̂̀͗͋͛̉̑͆̒̊̆̏̎̆͘d̶̛̪̞͈͔͇̫͓͈͛̽̍͂̂́̐͋͜͝͝͠͝ ̴͓̬̱̩̲̫̩̿̆̆́̏̉̆̿̈́̀̀͐̀̂͘p̴̡̧̛͙͕̱̖̻͔̘̟̬̬̙͔̹͐͐͋͋̑̀͗͑̒̔̓̒̇͘ơ̶̢͖̯̣̝̩̲͔̙̗̥̌̂͑̐͠s̶͇͇͉̼͍̭͙̬͙̞̗̠͙̅̈̆͋̀̀̚̚͠s̷͙͔̙̘͎̤̼͎̬͙̹̮̣̭͒i̴̧̛͍̘̪̯̟̼͚̩͕͉͈͖͈̿͌͋̾̈́̈̀̏̌͘̚͜͝͠͠b̶̖̀̅̄͛ļ̸͔͚̪͇̗̝͍̬̹͎̺̯̺̈̇̾̾̐͜y̵̨͉̲͇̱̼͔̯̩͛́͘͠ ̴̤̟͔̟̀͊̍͋̐̉̅́̃̈̚̚g̷̢̛̣̻̣̤̖͉̳̯̗͚̰̥̾͌́̈́̑̿̏̀̈́̓͐̏͠ö̵̡̧͖̮͍͉̩̱̻̦͈̲̫́́̊͂̐͂ ̸̨̞̣̱͚̤̗͙̹͕͊̋̕ͅw̴̨̧̳̫̪̙̗͚̯̥͗̊͠ř̸̢͓̜̮̤͎̮͉̯͕̗̯̻̼̹̑̑̈́̒̕ǫ̴̢̛͇̭̜̼͚̞͚̠̣̰̜̅̽̐̍̀̎̈͑͗̄̃̃͋́͜͜n̷͇̳̦̝͈͚͍͛̊̿͆̒͂̓̽͑̏̎̽̕͘͝g̶̡̬͈̟̗̣̥̻̥͓̜̮͉̊͜͜?̸̢̞̭̹̻̟̗͉̙͊͆͝ͅ

MadCap's D&D Builds - Lord Zedd (Power Rangers) (5e)

 

With the power and force of lightning, make this D&D build GROOOOOOW!!!

MadCap's D&D Builds - Bill Nye (Bill Nye the Science Guy) (5e)

...yeah, no, you read that right. I'm actually doing this. This is probably the most batshit insane nonsense I have ever done on my blog (debatable) and probably my most ridiculous build for D&D to date, so we're doing this. Buckle up, kiddos!

MadCap's D&D Builds - Axel Palmer (My Bloody Valentine) (5e)

Well, we are finally down to our final build for Horror Month 2023 - Axel Palmer from the classic slasher 1981 slasher film My Bloody Valentine - which I probably need to get around to reviewing for a Horror Month at some point in the near future. Born in the town of Valentine Bluffs... somewhere on the East Coast of Canada?... Axel was the son of a miner who was killed after an accident in the minds had made him resort to cannibalism. Who killed him? The Miner, of course... A warning was left that, if the town were to celebrate Valentine's Day (the day of the accident), then the Miner would return.

As such, the town of Valentine Bluffs hasn't celebrated the holiday that they're named after... until 1981, when the town tried to reinstate the holiday... and the Miner did return as promised, killing again. Axel picked up the ol' pick axe and sought vengeance...

Madcap's D&D Builds - Christine (5e)

Huh? What's that? I can't make a character build around a possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury? That's insane? Ridiculous?

Well, you may be right. I may be crazy. But guess what?

I'm MadCapMunchkin and I can do whatever the hell I want. Let's do it!

MadCap's D&D Builds - Pinhead (Hellraiser) (5e)

Another Thursday in October, another D&D build of the horror vein. I guess that you can tell from the title, I have such sights to show you...

MadCap's D&D Builds - Jigsaw (SAW franchise) (5e)

Another Horror Month and another set of Halloween builds using 5e rules for Dungeons & Dragons. Now we have a new banner for them - since the Tabletop Tales banner is now a distant memory - let's get into the father of the modern slasher film, John Kramer aka the Jigsaw Killer. A man dying of terminal cancer who uses his skills to put those who deserve punishment into lethal situations that they either sacrifice to get themselves out of... or die horribly as you can see in... well, any of the Saw movies.

I'm not a huge fan of Saw, but Epic Apathy (that handsome devil!) dropped this idea into my lap and it was too good to not go with.

MadCap's D&D Builds - Dorian Gray Build (5e)

Here we are! The final Horror Month 2022 build! Oooh, so exciting! We've done a Vampire Champion, a sneaky serial killer who was never caught, and MUMM-RA! THE EVER LIVING!!!! With such a rogues gallery, what could I possibly choose to be the fourth and final build for this year? I mean, after a vampire, a serial killer, and a mummy. What can I possibly do to top all of that?

Ah, what the heck! Let's put Dorian Gray to pen & paper.

I mean, it's not like you didn't see the title of this post or the picture above or anything...

MadCap's D&D Builds - Mumm-Ra Build (Thundercats) (5e)

"ANCIENT SPIRITS OF EVIL, TRANSFORM THIS DECAYED FORM TO MUMM-RA! THE EVER-LIVING!!!!"

...hehe.

Oh, bite me! It's fun! Besides, we haven't covered a Mummy yet.

MadCap's D&D Builds - Spike Build (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) (5e)

Building. A. D&D. Character.

...bitch.

Okay, so that's technically six words, but bite me. And now, you can! Last year, we ended Horror Month with a Champion, so it's only fitting that we start off this year's Horror Month with one! It's Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.

MadCap's D&D Builds - The Creature From The Black Lagoon Build (Universal Classic Monsters) (5e)

Horror Month 2021 has finally come! Get your dice and get ready to roll, because it's time to get spoopy! As is fitting with our tradition at this point, we're going to make a character build based off of a fictional character and work them all the way up to Level 20! This month, we've got some horror builds! Let's see  what we can make of it starting with...
