FortuneCookie 12/01/21 4:28:48 PM #1:	I'm watching a review of Hydelide on NES. A slime is the first enemy you encounter. This game predates Legend of Zelda. I'm assuming it predates Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy as well. So if it didn't start with a video game, was it from a pen and paper RPG? <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:960529856] in Is the Sli...

Zikten 12/01/21 4:35:47 PM #5:	I think they do have slimes in DnD. They look different though. What I have seen was not the cute piles with eyes, but a square block of slime. Usually it has a random sword sticking out of it too, that fell off its last meal <cite>Zikten posted [p:960530070] in Is the Sli... [t:79790021]...</cite> <quote>I think they do have slimes in DnD.

Tyranthraxus 12/01/21 4:41:58 PM #11:	It's called a gelatinous cube and other than the shape it's basically the same as most other slimes in fiction. It's likely based on an older movie called "The Blob" --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:960530246] in Is the Sli...
