[QUOTE="Terwox, post: 1800804, member: 1044"] 14) There's an according rule to this that hasn't been mentioned -- if there's a book you've read, a plot device you really liked, and you want to use it in your game, use it!! Especially if the players won't recognize it, and will think it's interesting. Having necromancy use a series of named bells was a huge ripoff in a short game I ran, but it certainly made things a lot more interesting. In short: Steal inspiration liberally! There's nothing wrong with it. Just don't try to sell it. And I wouldn't claim credit for stolen inspiration... but nobody's going to tell on you if you do, unless they recognize it. ;) (And honestly, I'd use Final Fantasy plots if you really liked them too... but, eh, I've had a DM people called a "Final Fantasy DM" -- some players really liked that, I didn't, so, YMMV.)
