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 hilarious. Is the item still floating around in there?

Amongst the other junk, yeah. It did pick up a metal top hat at some point, it thinks that oozing that out to perch on top makes it look more approachable and friendly. Along with the pipe. It kind of works, but its penchant for collecting teeth, and asking strangers if they would like to trade for ones it doesn't have, kind of ruin that impression.

Clearly, the others are playing its snacks.
