It's good to see that the greatest monster ever created (let's just ignore this "dungeon hazard" business, ok?) is getting its due. I mean, who here hasn't had to cope with a green slime? The proto-iconic characters (Indel the Elf! Valeria the Cleric! Grimslade the Fighter! The Wizard Whose Name I Forgot!) had to cope with one. That makes it a classic, baby.
And if anyone can identify the source of those "iconics", I'll mail them a prize. That's the least I can do for someone who, like me, has a mind cluttered with useless D&D trivia.
THE SLIME ABIDES!
