MadCap's D&D Builds - Dr. Frankenstein Build (5e)

It's alive! It's alive! . . .or so I'm told, anyway. For this week, we have Victor Frankenstein - the original doctor rather than the monster he created. . .which is also Frankenstein for those that want to be pedantic about it. Before Herbert West, before Maggie Walsh, before freaking Doctor Doom...there was Victor Frankenstein.

Victor Frankenstein was a role first played by Augustus Phillips in the silent 1910 film produced by Thomas Edison of all people. Most people tend to know him with the face of Colin Clive (pictured above) as Henry Frankenstein from the 1931 film adaptation of the Classic Universal Monsters vein. He is a scientist who perverted the very essence of life in order to create life all his own and now he knows what it's like to be God. . .depending on the adaptation you're going with. In the novel, he's a tragic figure whose creation causes him to lose his friends, family, and his mind. In most of the movies...well, he's the reason why we have the Mad Scientist stereotype.

So let's have a look at what we need to make Victor Frankenstein.

What If...Freddy Krueger had never resurrected Jason Voorhees?

Last time, we got to see a world where Tommy Jarvis stayed on as the killer for the Friday the 13th franchise. This time, we'll be moving to another killer in another universe not at all dissimilar to it. In this universe, after being destroyed by a pipe bomb in his "definitely final movie", Freddy Krueger was cast into the bowels of Hell. We know, in the main universe, he sought out and brought back Jason Voorhees, setting off the events of Freddy vs. Jason.

In this universe, though? Let's take a look.

You're never the same after your first pig in a jar.

And for the third time, no.

Alright. Now we've got that out of the way.

MadCap's Reel Thoughts - "Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives" (1986)

Okay, now this is actually really good.

No, I mean it. This isn't the set up for a punchline. Jason Lives is just really, really good. Besides the original, it's probably the best of the entire franchise.

So...Amiga game emulated onto Windows 10? Amiga game emulated onto Windows 10.

Weird, right?

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...

What If...Tommy Jarvis became the New Killer in the Friday the 13th Franchise?

A young man's mind shattered by the tragedies that had befallen him. A halfway house for disturbed teens laid waste by the blade of a madman's axe. In one world, he went on to finally confront his demon and send it back into the waters from whence it had come.

On another world, something very different happened.

But how would that story continue? Where would the story go from there, knowing what we know now?

As a certain Watcher once said, I invite you readers of mine, to pull up a chair and watch as we ponder the question...What If?
