MIA: Green Slime

[mearls]

I just realized a terrible, terrible truth about third edition. Where's the green slime? Sure, it has stats in the DMG, but I have yet to see it used in a published adventure. Green slime occupied a storied place in the monster hall of fame. I played a starring role in one of the comic book ads from the early 80s, it served as an important lesson in dungeoneering to newbie players.

I can't believe it took me so long to notice this. Honestly, I'm shocked, flabbergasted, and appalled. In a d20 market increasingly choked with minutia, where's my Complete Book of Green Slime? Must I write it myself?

Has anyone else noticed this? Can anyone find me a published encounter with green slime in it? Has anyone used it in their games?

The slime abides, my friends. The slime abides.

If you had memorized every paragraph of Of Sound Mind, bucko, you'll find that a cheery NPC is now a slimy puddle... and the PCs had better do some high-stepping to avoid the same fate.

The slime abides!

Viva la slime!

My DM hit us with green slime on the very adventure we're currently on. It's still there, lurking.

This is funny. I was putting together a dungeon today and thought to myself "you know what I need? Green Slime!" And Ocher Jelly.

Green Slime Conspiracy Theories

1). Bill Cosby sued the green slime and forced them to change their name to charteuse slime.

2). In 3rd edition, monsters typically do upkeep by scrubbing out embarrassing green slime.

3). Rumors suggest that it appears in adventures involving giant aquariums.

4). It is now illustrated in such away that it appears in a popular chldren's fantasy tome called Green Slime and Ham.

5). It disappeared with the invention of the tissue. (Kleenix says bless you!)

We also just encountered green slime, there was a key at the bottom of a cauldron full of the stuff.

The fun thing was, a novice player in our group was alone in the room at first, and stuck her mace in... went up the mace handle and onto her Luckily she got it off in time.

Sure, it has stats in the DMG, but I have yet to see it used in a published adventure.

I see someone hasn't read "The Hero Snare," published by MonkeyGod Enterprises and written by yours truly.

In addition to including an appearance (albeit admittely a brief one) by your favorite chartreuse fungus, the module does things with kobolds like you've never seen.

Umm... Maybe I should rephrase that...

That almost killed the rogue in the group I ran too! The Slime Abides!

All the King's Men also by Monkey God also has an encounter with the squidgy green stuff of doom, in the comforting environs of the sewers. (Well comfortable for the green slime at least...)

The Auld Grump, who has blocked a stairway in his most recent game merely by covering it with harmless green algae. Oh yes, the legacy continues...

Surely this is worth a Quintissential Guide from Mongoose or, at the very least, a Slayer's Guide? I can't wait to see the prestige classes!
