Making Fictional Science a Reality

Episode 201

Our 10th season begins!  We decided to do something a little different this year.  We were inspired by last season’s episode on “Delicious in Dungeon”, so we are taking a look at Dungeons & Dragons monsters and explaining how they work.  It turns out, there is a lot of literature on these creatures, and none has been written about more than the classic Gelatinous Cube, officially known as an Althcoid.  As it’s name implies, it a large cube of ooze, similar to a Jello desert, except in this case YOU are the main course!  It is transparent, and if you find yourself stuck inside one, you will dissolve into goo in less than 10 minutes.  We discuss this monster, how to incorporate them into your adventure, and also find a way to compare them to sour dough starter mix.
