We had a slime character who with more mass, had better attributes. So with enough contiguous slime, there wasn't a limit to her intelligence.

We had something extremely similar this one time when we did a fully comic campaign. The slimes may not have been the most intelligent species in the world, but they were sure as hell very smart for giant amoebas. They had a dysfunctional democracy where every citizen could make laws for himself and fought totalitarian robots.

>>51544715
Yeah, I'd include that in my setting.

You'd better believe some enterprising sort would build a temple around it and have oracles to interpret is wisdom.

What about Puddings, Flans, Blobs, Goops, Mucks, Sludges, Blots, Molds, and Pools?

>>51547919

I feel you made some of those up.

>>51548561
Different Anon, but I have seen each of those terms at some point my life, from tabletop to vidja and beyond.

>>51548561
Puddings and Molds are definitely ooze-slime-jelly-related monsters from D&D.

I don't have to.

A homebrew some pals of mine were working on had a slime race where Slimes lived in a hive mind like pool, andwould send out Slime warriors to gain experience and share it with the rest of the pool. Whenever a slime finished adventuring they would leave the skeleton they were using as a "frame" and whatever armor they had next to the pool for future slimes to use. Also they used bone masks to avoid the whole "regular folks unsettled by talking to a featureless blob"

>>51548666
And Flans are very specifically a Final Fantasy species

Only time I've seen a Mold in relation to Ooze type creatures is in an obscure game called Lost Kingdoms.

>>51543667
There's that massive fungus that envelops the Mt. Hood forest in the Pacific Northwest. If a slime could take over the world is say it could just patiently seed itself in the watertable and assimilate from there

>>51554783
An intelligent and massive, but nearly powerless fungus was my favorite element in a movie that shall not be named.

Sounds like End of an Era, by Robert J. Sawyer.
>Archaeologist Brandon Thackery and his rival Miles 'Klicks' Jordan fulfill a dinosaur lover's dream with history's first time-travel jaunt to the late Mesozoic. Hoping to solve the extinction mystery, they find Earth's gravity is only half its 21st century value and dinosaurs that behave very strangely. Could the slimey blue creatures from Mars have something to do with both?

It would be interesting to do 'The Founders' in a fantasy setting.

That would be the horrible movie I was thinking of, yes.

STOP STEALING MY THOUGHTS REEEEEEEE

Also, the invading aliens in X-Com Apocalypse are slimes who create and control the bigger aliens.

>>51561983
Man, I hoped to be entertainingly wrong...

>>51544715
If it absorbs memories from things, how can it not be aware that other intelligences exist?

>>51551114
>Also they used bone masks to avoid the whole "regular folks unsettled by talking to a featureless blob"
I think people would be just as unsettled by talking to a skull face. Perhaps even more so.

>>51567575
>implying slimes understand the nuance

>>51567711
You'd think if they understood that people might not like talking to an amorphous blob, they'd also understand that they also might not like talking to a skull.

>>51567553
This.
What if a person feel in? Wouldn't it take those memories and immediately be aware that other intelligences exist due to the new memories? Or does it think that it just suddenly had a awesome idea for a setting or story?

>>51567869
>What if a person feel in? Wouldn't it take those memories and immediately be aware that other intelligences exist due to the new memories?
And probably immediately feel immense guilt at killing a human being.

>>51567553
it's simple really; the slime merely see these experiences as thoughts that suddenly pop in his head
He does not know that these from outside of his mind; do your dreams always appear as things that you would think about on your own ?
