I’ve not been playing with my online gaming group for a few months, but when I was, I was playing a sentient gelatinous cube, who’s just the happiest and friendliest thing ever. Last night I was able to rejoin, and we managed to pull off a great surprise. The PCs were led into a trap, and suddenly all sorts of oozes and jellies started appearing. The DM did a great description of an ominous, looming gelatinous cube approaching, and one side started to form into a face… Which oozed into a mouth and said… Which is when I popped into the call and laid on the familiar happy, friendly voice and said a hearty hello and nice to see everyone again! Perfect timing, great build-up, everyone loved it. Such a great theatrical moment.
How did you come to play a gelatinous cube? What do the other players play?
The initial idea was that I was actually playing as a sentient magic item that increased intelligence of the wearer. The original user was killed in the dungeon, then hoovered up by a gelatinous cube, and the magic item took over.
The others sit across the whole spectrum from that sort of unhinged to straight up wizard.
That’s brilliant. Must have been a great moment!
