Roll a 20 or higher to escape the Gelatinous Cube, dude
Tyler B 5:45:41 PM
Hahahaha magic cards released a dnd set last summer and included a gelatinous cube
Tyler B 5:46:41 PM
There's also a sly jab at dnd players in the form of a creature whose ability is "tragic backstory" featuring some hilarious art and flavor text
TAndy 5:46:42 PM
"NO IT'S NOT WEED YOU STONER POS" - Krimit The Frog

Captain Ahab (host) 6:30:09 PM
I know! That definitely ranks up there as one of the more unusual stories
Roffle... 6:30:23 PM
Melville's Ahab would appreciate heavy metal especially when it comes to harpoons one would think..
Brian D 6:31:03 PM
When you hear the words "my manifesto" in person: (...back slowly away.. )
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:31:38 PM
Herman Melville was metal. Bartleby is metal AF.

Matthew Snopenhauer 6:45:27 PM
Oi!
Richard from Rocky Hill 6:45:39 PM
@ Captain Ahab (host) I hope you are aware that Milton Keynes, the British hometown of your fav nuclear sludge-rock duo Tuskar, was actually named after an early Christian-math rock duo, Milton & Keynes. They're best remembered today for their hours-long jam epic "The Economic Consequences of Lost Paradise" ...
Matthew Snopenhauer 6:47:01 PM
Ah, Schubmodul, German 2-piece
Richard from Rocky Hill 6:47:08 PM
@ Captain Ahab (host) ... or so I'm told.
