Monster Slider positive?

I'll give the Monster Slider a tip of the hat for at least having older monsters in MM3 format and printing properly.

Monster Slider?

That thing that WotC is calling a Monster Builder that doesn't really build monsters.

At least, that's what I'm assuming.

Yeah, I think this was jimmifett's snarky way of referring to the online Monster Builder. I don't personally use it (because the reports are that it really doesn't have much functionality beyond changing the level of a monster), but I'm pretty sure that's what he means.

I thought Monster Sliders were when you ordered three mini-monsters as an appetizer?

I hear you can get a great deal on them at White Castle.

Yeah, the Monster Builder.
Having used printouts from it this weekend, comparing to original sources, I've noticed a couple monsters with flawed statblocks, as in they were missing stuff from thier sourcebook, and are otherwise not an updated monster.

Hmm, I seem to recall a statement that it would actually build monsters sometime this summer.

When that happens (if?), I hope they do a good job with it. I really want to feel like I'd be at least getting the functionality that I already have from the offline builder if I resubscribed.
