Id Monster Tribute in Dark Sun module? (was: Monsters from..)

[Havard]

Well... either it is a direct tribute to Blackmoor (and indirect tribute to the Forbidden Planet) or a direct tribute to the Forbidden Planet (that was where the Monster from the Id originally came from), by-passing Blackmoor...

I forget if VA Vaugn's Voyage of the Space Beagle/Black Destroyer was a direct influence on Forbidden planet, but you are right that the name Id Monster was introduced in the movie.

The Dark Sun creature could have been influenced directly from the movie or just the term "id" from psychology, but it would be cool if it had been included as a direct reference to the FFC.
