D6This Frankenstein is
1a self-proclaimed medium and the head of a Spiritualist cult.
2a retired colonial official.
3a nouveau riche inventor who's patented several ingenious devices.
4the batty heir to a whale oil fortune whose parents died mysteriously at sea.
5the child of a high-ranking military officer, too frail for service themself, who sought refuge from their family's discipline and disappointment in intellectual pursuits.
6old, old money, the scion of a noble line that can trace its ancestry and property back centuries.
D6This Frankenstein's monster
1is tough as only the risen dead can be, requiring measures on the level of high explosives to put down for good.
2has a pieced-together brain, and is troubled by several people's memories and personality-fragments.
3can't sleep or forget anything it's experienced, making it a swift learner as well as prone to epsiodes of psychotic crankiness.
4bears the marks and the scent of rot. It can't easily go about in polite company.
5can consciously spread and control the disease that killed its body the first time around.
6can reanimate corpses as short-lived zombies that follow its simpler commands by injecting them with its cerebrospinal fluid.
D6This Frankenstein created their monster
1as an attempt to resurrect a loved one they parted with too soon.
2as the prototype for their own eventual resurrection.
3as an act of hubristic devotion - becoming closer to God by creating life like God.
4to further the cause of eugenics, and replace flawed humanity with a superior, deathless race.
5to deny a hated rival the peace of the grave.
6out of mere boredom and curiousity.
D6This Frankenstein created their monster with
1Islamic alchemy stolen by the Knights Templar and corrupted by their demon-god patron Baphomet.
2cutting-edge machinery and computers stolen from the notes of Ada Lovelace, combined with a cybernetic-organic interface revealed to them by a blasphemous dream.
3the meditative practices of a Tibetan heretic-monk who was able to control flesh both living and dead by infusing it with his thoughtforms, learned from a scroll looted by proto-Theosophists.
4the nectar of a species of passiflora which grows only in a single valley in the depths of the Amazon carved out of the Earth by a falling star many millions of years ago - a species cultivated by gargantuan and immortal hives of bees.
5the aid of mathematical equations which disprove linear time, found in the unpublished manuscript of a mistress and student of Alexis Clairaut.
6a soul-net derived from the works of Descartes and Galvani, using an array of electrically-stimulated pickled pineal glands to pull a subtle animating force back into a preserved corpse.
D6This Frankenstein's relationship with their monster
1ended terribly. Their monster murdered them and fled into the night.
2is that of a desperate investor attempting to recoup lost and pricey property for the Frankenstein, and an escaped captive for the monster.
3is outwardly cordial, but each intends to betray the other.
4is that of an obsessive, sheltering parent and their rebellious teenager.
5is one of sociopathic scientific detachment toward an experimental subject.
6is that of an obsolete and self-loathing servant toward a transhuman master.
D6This Frankenstein's laboratory
1has been smashed up by a gang they'd been working with to fund their activities by brewing up drugs the gang would sell.
2is guarded by monstrous little goblins created by past, failed attempts to raise the dead.
3is a stately coastal manor, the basement of which connects through a secret passage to an extensive grotto network below.
4is hidden in the heart of a beached prison hulk.
5is in an apartment beside a crematorium, rented under a false name.
6is in the dungeon of a castle that was levelled during the War after enemy soldiers occupied it.

  1. Making it a Frankenstein + Monster generator was the right way to go with this, as opposed to just a generic abomination or mad scientist generator. Either of those independently is good too, but for it to be properly "Frankenstein" is to consider them together. This one definitely is up my alley, can see myself having fun with this for sure.

  2. I love this list, especially the d6 reasons for creation.

    I would also add "this moster killed its creator, then traded faces, resurrected them, and assumed their identity".

    I almost think this post would work better as "6 Tales of Frankensteins" ratger than a random generator. Ik my mind random generators are useful for things you need to generate often, and don't need to be tailored much.
