GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2: Icky Goo

[jacobmuller]

I know it's for Dungeon Fantasy but I bought it immediately I saw it, cackling "Slime in Space-ace-ace!".

Oh, and an occupational template for a specialist Druid-y type that deals only in Goos. Less a Summoner, more a sort of subterranean gardener/breeder.
Obviously there would be a Goo College filled with Secret Spells for identifying, seeking, creating, and controlling Goo, along with Goo-like attacks ("Slime Jet", "Spore Breath", "Rain of Slime"), utilities ("Slippery Slimeskin", "Goosight") and Body of Goo.
I can think of a few good candidates for Death Spells for this college. "Slimelungs". "Goo From Within".

I look forward to your Pyramid article {ow, bit my tongue}

Would you allow goo as a familiar for a fungus- or slime-oriented druid?

Yes, as that would make goo-d sense.

[Peaches]

I'm curious, does this have anything that might be useful in conjunction with the Blob template from the From the Bottom Up article from Pyramid #3/72? I wouldn't mind some very goo power ups.

Reading Kromm's LJ tells me we're likely to get 3 new DF releases soon, anyone else hope they all come good on the same day?

Not really, not everyone can afford three books in a day. This would likely hurt overall sales. Lower sales means less DF.

No and I (disclaimer I have no idea of SJ Games internal process) suspect it would only be possible by delaying the release date (at least by a week) of one or two of the others. So why would anyone want that?

[Bruno]

I don't see why they'd release them all in one day. Precedent for 4e is one a month (other than Pyramid) - this gives them 3 months of material while working on other, bigger projects (Like the Diskworld book, or Vehicles, or Girl Genius, or whichever unicorn you're cheering for :)
