Mad scientist

Mad scientist (also mad doctor or mad professor) is a caricature of a scientist who is described as "mad" or "insane" owing to a combination of unusual or unsettling personality traits and the unabashedly ambitious, taboo and/or hubristic nature of their experiments. As a motif in fiction, the mad scientist may be villainous (evil genius) or antagonistic, benign or neutral; may be insane, eccentric, or clumsy; and often works with fictional technology or fails to recognize or value common human objections to attempting to play God. Some may have benevolent or good-spirited intentions, even if their actions are dangerous or questionable, which can make them accidental villains. Some are protagonists or allies thereof, such as Dexter in the animated series Dexter's Laboratory; Professor Calculus in The Adventures of Tintin; Dr. Muto; Professor Farnsworth on Futurama; Philo in UHF; Dr. Benjamin Jeffcoat of My Secret Identity; Emmett Brown of Back to the Future; Rick Sanchez of Rick and Morty; Dr. Walter Bishop of Fringe; Okabe Rintarou from the anime series Steins;Gate; or Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. Occasionally, there are parodies of mad scientists making fun of this trope.

Mad Scientist (film)

Mad Scientist: Experiment in Error was a cartoon made to showcase the Mad Scientist toy line by Mattel Toys. It was produced in 1988 by Southern Star Productions, distributed by International Video Entertainment under the Family Home Entertainment line on VHS.

The film was direct to home video with a 30-minute run time consisting of two 15-minute cartoons. The cartoons featured Dr. Sy N. Tist and his ward Brian engaging in bizarre experiments.

    Deadlands

    Deadlands is a genre-mixing alternate history roleplaying game which combines the Western and horror genres, with some steampunk elements. It was written by Shane Lacy Hensley and published by Pinnacle Entertainment Group.

    The eight-times Origins Award-winning setting has been converted to many other systems over the years and is available in the original Classic Rules, the revised Classic Rules, d20 System, GURPS, as well as a Savage Worlds version called Deadlands: Reloaded.

    Development

    Shane Lacy Hensley had the idea for a new game centering on cowboys and zombies as he was setting Pinnacle Entertainment Group up, when he saw the Brom painting of a Confederate vampire on the cover of White Wolf's then-unreleased Necropolis: Atlanta; he thus began writing what would eventually become Deadlands. After completing a first draft, Henlsey flew in two friends and game designers, Greg Gorden and Matt Forbeck; they both liked what they saw and asked to buy into Pinnacle.

    Setting

    The game is set in the United States in the last quarter of the 19th century. The canonical year for the first edition of Deadlands is 1876. A later supplement, Tales o' Terror, advances the game's backstory and metaplot ahead one year, to 1877. The second edition of Deadlands uses the updated backstory of 1877 as the canonical starting point.Deadlands: Reloaded further updates the backstory and advances the canonical starting point to 1879.
