Something to inspire you. Something "old school" gaming did. Be it going to look up these things for yourself to read about, or to create your own original ideas.I was interested in what little viking information I had access to, but getting my hands on D&D made me want to look more into it, as well as Aztec and other mythology.I think that added inspirational material would go a long way to getting back some of the old school feel and style of play. That kind where you want to know more about the world you are in, rather than trying to create the latest fantasy movie within your game, but create your own story with bits and pieces from many different things.Lovecraft was a good one for taking old ideas and giving them new life, so what is wrong with D&D doing it? D&D cannot contain pagan or druidic old work references anymore from a mythological aspect, but can still have breasted dragons cutting the heads off of humans?Has D&D become Lion Witch and Wardrobe fantasy like Charlie Brown with strong Christian overtones, and cannot deviate from that idea into real world mythology, but must create its own fake mythology?</blockquote>
