The Bride of Frankenstein ("The Monsters Are Our Heroes" Villain)

Today's movie monster continues the theme from yesterday with Frankenstein and his creations. Today is: The Bride!

This article uses game information from "The Monsters Are Our Heroes" rpg by Bloat Games.



The Bride is the second creation of Victor Frankenstein, created to be the companion of the original monster, after realizing it's existence would be lonely if left alone. 

The story of the Bride is short, in the original Mary Shelly text, as she is never reanimated, as Victor destroys her body before it is finished. In the 1935 film, she destroyed herself almost immediately after her reanimation, upon seeing the visage of the Monster. 

Meanwhile in the 1985 film "The Bride" and the "Penny Dreadful" series, the Bride lived on and had a life of her own. It is from this context that I present this Bride build. She may not be a mighty as the original monster, but she is able to fit in with humanity more easily than the Monster.

Fire Bad!: The Bride is Frightened when presented with fire. It may make an opposed Charisma check against a humanoid presenting fire towards it, removing the Frightened Condition if successful.

Strength Through Pain. If the Bride’s current hit points are below half of her hit point maximum at the start of her turn, she has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.

Decepticon HISS Drone (Transformers Essence20 rpg)

Imagine if you will a combined Transformers / GIJoe setting where the Decepticons have infiltrated the ranks of Cobra using their Pretender agents. Eventually, Cobra learns of a powerful device being held in secret by GIJoe forces within a hidden facility under the Hoover Dam. A Cobra Strike Team infiltrates the Hoover Dam, taking down one Greenshirt after another in as they dive deeper into the facility, only to come to the center vault which contains... The AllSpark! Suddenly one of the Cobra agents -- secretly a Decepticon Pretender -- guns down her fellow Cobra Vipers and immediately calls in to Soundwave, seeking an extraction team on her position: "For the glory of Megatron, the AllSpark has been found!" Knowing full well the importance of the mission's success, Soundwave immediately dispatches the elite Seeker trio of Seekers: Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker, alongside the Combaticons to serve as Special Forces back-up; all of whom arrive within minutes.

Fastball Special (Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition)

Image
In Marvel Comics, there are few combat maneuvers as noteworthy as The Fastball Special . This is a combo-maneuver that requires the use of two teammates skilled in working alongside each other. One of the teammates (the "pitcher") must have superhuman strength, while the second (the "ball") requires some form of exceptional melee attack and not a small amount of damage resistance.  The Fastball Special was originated by the X-Men Colossus and Wolverine, and featured Colossus using his super-strength to pick up Wolverine and throw him deep into the ranks of the villains or high up towards flying enemies. Once thrown, Wolverine, stretches himself out to be as aerodynamic as possible, and extends his claws so they are what the enemies first encounter as he slams into a foe. Wolverine's claws, combined with the momentum of Colossus' superhuman strength resulted in numerous destroyed Sentinel robots. Thankfully, Wolverine survives being thrown like this, due to h...

Worlds Collide After Action Report (MiracleCon 2024)

Image
Recently, I was asked by a former co-worker -- also a popular gamer and GM in the local area -- if I would be interested in being a GM for the World's Collide mega adventure produced by Renegade Games Studios for the Essence20 rpg. This adventure crosses over the GIJoe, Power Rangers, and Transformers sessions, all of which use the same game system, so they work relatively seamless with each other. This article WILL contain SPOILERS for the Worlds Collide Adventure, so if you want to play and be surprised by this game, do not read any further. You can purchase the adventure from the Renegade Games Studios store here . For background set up... Lord Zedd, Doctor Mindbender, and Shockwave were all working on teleportation technology at the same time, creating an interdimensional incident that merge them into one being: Lord MindwaveZ . This also started drawing all of the multiverses together into one amalgamated chaos region. While this happens, Joe, Rangers, and Autobots are drawn i...
