D&D 5E Borrowing from TTRPGS

[Voadam]

I'm sure my games have been influenced by the myriad of other games I've read/played. Trying to remember specifics is difficult.

I think I'd have to say that my orcs have been strongly influenced by the Orks of 40K - they're soccer hooligans and "greenskins" to the core.

I should have added that to my list too. I had a lot of fun with the 1e Pathfinder fighting when at negative hp aspect came into play "You chop its head full off! OK next is its turn, it has not dropped or stopped attacking, it lashes out at you . . ."

For Druids, I also use Werewolf: The Apocalyspe's use/mentioning of Gaia and Luna as the main aspects of their Old Faith: Referring to them as Mother Gaia and Sister Luna.

There was a Father Sky at one point, but for reasons only known to the three of them, he is no longer around.

I have used WFRP beastmen. Gnolls in 5e are pretty much chaos beastmen these days though. As someone else mentioned, I use a lot of the GW concepts of Orcs/Orks as well.
