Do you mean "lute?"

Or do you actually mean he's going to give out loot, schwag, booty as wedding favors?

I fully intend to have wedding schwag, especially if I invite the friend of mine who actually owns a "Stop and Loot" t-shirt.

I'll try to make it a total Monty Haul occasion.

Ah!  Monty Hall, Winnipeg's forgotten son!

When I look for Monty Hall online I get many, many pages about the supposedly famous "Monty Hall Problem": will you win a goat?

I guess what's behind Curtain Number Two, God help you, is a three-year subscription to Dragon magazine.

This would be an excellent jumping-off point for my anecdote about the campaign that revolved almost entirely around Purple Worms, but I am far too classy for that.

Truly a cruel tantalization, sir. Truly cruel.

Would it bother you if I dropped a hint about a long ago and far away weekend of gaming that revolved around Gelatinous Cubes?  And Mattocks?

Argh! You people are grotesque in your cruelty.

This is all sounding even better than the story involving the elven lesbian bar, which had up until now been one of the crowning stupidities of my career.

Better, I dare say, than the Room with The Four-Poster Bed in which I was shocked, baffled, and ashamed to find myself (and the brand-new associated statistic added to the margins of the character sheet of my hapless Crazy) upon entering the Rifts campaign of some friends, then in ninth grade, whom I hadn't seen for a year. Role-playing games!: the potential embarrassment is limited only by your imagination.

EDIT: GELATINOUS CUBE RANCHER - redundant preposition removed

[V-Adore]

I would totally make a character who ranched gelatinous cubes. "Gelatinous cube ranching: it's the toughest job you'll ever love."

Cube ranchers? That certainly ads a kink to the dungeon ecosystem.

But who would buy one? I could understand various companion animals like trained panthers or small dragons but would you really want a gelatinous cube oozing along behind you vainly attempting to look cute?

Well, I always got the impression that people owned a lot of real estate with large, 10'x10' stone corridors. Gelatinous cubes are the perfect size to basically serve as "dungeon vacuums."

You could probably raise them to be smaller, to those dungeon-builders with slightly smaller floor plans.

Wouldn't that involve some kind of binding to keep them from growing. Forcing them to live in little metal boxes. Dying them designer colors to mach their owners decor. You'd have the D&DPCA on your ass so fast your amulet of water-breating would spin.

Clearly, you've never experienced the Godhead that is Monster Rancher 2. I would imagine, from my extensive experience as a Kal-Kan Top Breeder of Champion Monoliths, that a gelatinous cube could exhibit gobs of personality. Having a trained and loyal gelatinous cube at one's disposal is very nearly the coolest thing I could imagine.

HOLY CHRIST IS THAT AN ALIVE KNOX BLOX

[AugustWest]

What about breeding them so they're less cubic.  Gelatinous dodecahedrons f'rinstance.  Or perhaps a gelatinous pyramid.

Personally I'd rather have a Ryo-ohki. Or a fuchikoma!

A gelatninous dodecahedron could just about roll, making it much faster in its pursuit of your party.  I would think that a gelantinous cube would be pretty slow.
