MadCap's D&D Builds - The Ghoul (Fallout) (5e)

...what's that? I binged the entirety of Amazon Prime's Fallout series and am now rushing this out in order to capitalize on the pop culture zeitgeist? Well, that's just silly!

...I also happened to really, really enjoy the first season.

MadCap's D&D Builds - Vergil (Devil May Cry) (5e)

And this is power... or it will be in about twenty levels!

That's right, we'll be making Vergil, the twin brother of Dante, the main character of the Devil May Cry series of video games... of which there are only five and there are only four good ones. I'll leave you to figure out which is which.

Also, there is no remake.

Okay, seriously. It's time for me to get my butt back in gear. I've left everyone hanging down in the mines of Valentine and it's kind of ridiculous how long I've waited to write anything again for the blog. No more of that. It's time to kick it into gear.

And who with? Well, you can read the title of the post.

What If... the Doctor's moral compass had never formed? (Part 2)

Last time, we had seen a Doctor who had not taken on Ian and Barbara as companions. As a result he alienated his granddaughter Susan, who voluntarily chose to leave the TARDIS and her grandfather behind. He regenerated not long after, finding himself with new companions in the form of Vicki Pallister, Steven Taylor, and Sara Kingdom. Also, when we last left them, the last of their number had filled the Meddling Monk with so many holes that he whistled on the way to the ground, Sara knowing something that the Monk has yet to do and trying to prevent it... which might have worked, if the Monk were not a Time Lord and thus a regeneration had begun...

What If... the Doctor's moral compass had never formed? (Part 1)

Well, it is the 60th anniversary and there's no way I'm gonna finish (or even start, in some cases) the stories I wanted to do to celebrate. Blame real life, it happens.

However, I do have enough time to shoot the breeze and talk about a continuation of a What If? scenario that I've already done - namely a universe where Ian and Barbara never investigated their strange pupil Susan Foreman. That's right, this is technically "What If Ian and Barbara never investigated Susan?" Part 5, but I decided to spin it off into its own for reasons that will become clear soon enough.

Spoilers for Classic Who below the cut. You've been warned!

What If... the Trickster never reset the Timeline? (Part 3)

Last time, we ended on a bit of a sour note indeed. With his plan to reset the timeline blocked off by two of his older brothers, Gabriel found himself having to work to prevent the Apocalypse itself.

...he failed. Despite some changes in the timeline everything, as Gabriel of the Prime Timeline might say, inevitably went down the same road. Sam still killed Lilith, which still released Lucifer. The Apocalypse is nigh... and the Devil is rising.

So, what happens next? Well, as of this writing, I still haven't finished Season 4, but don't worry... I'm still going to mercilessly dig into spoilers for the show I haven't yet reviewed.

You have been warned!

What If... Jenny survived "The Doctor's Daughter?" (Part 2)

Alright, so... it is the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who, so it'd be rather bad of me to not do something in the month of November to acknowledge that... even if I am about six days too late. Whoops!

And I'm sure the Fiction Corner stories will be finished at some point in the future, but I doubt we'll be seeing the rest of them in 2023 for sure.
