QotD: Do you like old movies? And by “old” I mean anything pre 1980s, so ‘79 or older.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Star Wars: A New Hope
The Fiddler on the Roof

That stuff is my jam. Although mid 80’s are the best of all time in my opinion.

Gonna add Where Eagles Dare and The Sting as well.
I'm seconding (well, I suppose I'm thirding the first two) Monty Python, Star Wars, and The Sting. The rest I haven't seen. I'll also add Paper Moon to the pile.

Haven't watched many. Haven't wanted to. I did see Rear Window and that was pretty good. (It's been too long for me to remember much more than that, lol.)
There's just so many movies, y'know?
I forgot about that one. Rear window is a classic.
Planetside 2 is a solid 3-faction FPS where the goal is territory control. Each faction has its own tech and weapon philosophies. It’s good. I used to play the open beta on PS, it’s probably still open, I don’t really know. I got burnt out on video games and don’t play them anymore.
Pick any monster from any of the D&D books, and write a summary for the monster's origin... where did it come from? Doesn't have to be for your campaign. Could be something absolutely silly if you want to. Try to make it at least three sentences to avoid answers like, "I farted the goblin into existence."

Hmm...I'm going to go with goblins, :). so:
Long ago, a cult of elves, gnomes, and dwarves dedicated to the Lord of the Arcane gathered together in the plains known as the Verdant Paradise. They intended to perform a ritual to heal the Fracture, but instead they sundered the land around them, turning it into a wasteland. The elves, who were known for their guidance and wisdom, were turned into hobgoblins, ready to command. The dwarves, who were known for fighting the giants, were twisted into goblins, ready to slay the large. but the gnomes were the most transformed, as they stretched and grew fur over their bodies, until they turned into bugbears. strangely, they kept the ability to fit in small spaces.

Ooooh. Rather then take this to make a dramatic and epic tale, I'm gonna make a joke origin.
Once upon a time, there was a guy named, uh, I don't know, let's call him Jerry. Anyways, Jerry hated any form of reward. He didn't want adventurers to receive gold or magic items for completing dungeons. He wanted the adventurers to either not get a chest (at least, not a safe one) or not get to the treasure at all. So, he made a creature. A mimic, he called it, able to shapeshift into different objects. Upon creating it, Jerry exclaimed 'Gasp! Egad! Gadzooks!'. The mimic proceeded to nibble on his finger. In rage, Jerry threw it into a vat of radioactive Ye Olde Fantasy Glue. This gave the mimic adhesive abilities that allowed it to stick to stuff that touched it, such as adventurers. Jerry then got a very good deal ('I'll give you a mimic factory if you give me infinity dollars) and began a mimic factory to send into dungeons. Now we have the modern day mimic.

First, there was an inkling. The tiniest hint of a thought floating on the vast expanse nothingness, harbored by nothing but itself. This inkling thought itself greater. Soon, the weak inkling thought itself to be a notion. The notion became a thought, the thought became an idea, the idea became a conviction, and the conviction became a revelation. So great was the power of this revelation compared to its predecessors that it thought not just of thinking, but also of being, and so, suddenly, it was.
I wrote that with kuo-toa in mind, but it probably works better for beholders.

My homebrew origin for Cyclopes in Eberron:
Long ago, the Ogres of Xen'drik worshipped the 13 moons that orbit the planet. 40,000 years ago, one moon, Cyra, was destroyed in order to banish all Quori from the Material Plane. The Ogres that continued to worship Cyra after her destruction migrated to Droaam and outlawed the worship of the other 12 moons due to a religious schism. Eventually, Belashyrra took notice of them and began to send eyeball-shaped scrying sensors to watch these Ogres. The Cyran Ogres believed that these were messengers from the spirit of their dead goddess and began to offer sacrifices to them. Belashyrra then ordered the ogres to pluck out their eyes and that they would be blessed. The Ogres that agreed magically grew to ~10 feet tall and a magical third eye appeared in the center of their forehead that grants them Truesight.

I hate to admit it but I’ve already forgotten the name you used before you changed it to SpiderTrapper. (I’m terrible with names.) So you may as well either just keep your name or change it entirely for all the difference it’ll make to me. (What was your old name again by the way?)
