[QUOTE="Jubles, post: 7081165, member: 6875874"] I definitely take inspiration from other sources, often fiction. The Dresden Files books by Jim Butcher are a goldmine for DMs. My party was venturing into a large story arc taking place in the Faewild and there just aren't many sources out there for 'Truelands' content. The fourth Dresden book was a lifesaver. I didn't copy much but it gave me enough of a complete picture to help me bring my version of fairy land to life. All of the books are good though. He gives a lot of unique perspectives on magic, spellcasting, magical creatures, villains, etc. Great entertaining books that double as a DM imagination workshop. The same campaign but back in the material plane is a draconic apocalypse thanks to a derailed Rise of Tiamat campaign. I use a lot of themes from the book 1984 to help bring the setting to life. I haven't considered dedicating an entire campaign to an existing story. Frankly we started that with HotDQ and Rise of Tiamat and I (as DM) couldn't endure the restraints of a module. [/QUOTE]
