We call this cocktail hour.
That's hilarious. Is the item still floating around in there?
How did you come to play a gelatinous cube? What do the other players play?
This is excellent. Most of the answers here are what game to play, in other words, what mechanics can be used to force the horror feeling. This is purely about narrative, which can apply to any system. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, I agree. As far as I can tell, these are compiled by an actual human, Darryl Mott, and the quality shows.
Thank you for pursuing making the community. I am willing to talk about Traveller and other sci-fi themed topics.
Happy fediversary! Thanks for letting us join in!

Oddly specific, but I like it.
I'm mostly in the same boat as you. I have tried several times to get into Critical Role since everyone raves about it, plus a few others. It's not for me. I suppose it's because I don't have any emotional connection with the actual play where I would have that investment with my own game. I will say that I did enjoy Dungeons & Daddies though, but that show is more like listening to a comedy podcast about fantasy rather than an actual play.
Damn is that how it worked? I don't remember any of that, but it was a long time ago now.
