[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1289794, member: 939"] I certainly look at many different settings, and may take tiny pieces here and there - but mostly they are for inspiration. I get my other ideas from non-gaming sources - from movies, from history, even from my own personal experiences. Inspiration can come from anywhere. I once based an entire Shadowrun adventure on an episode of the X-files I saw once - and it worked out really well - and none of my players had seen it, so it made for an interesting bit of problem solving. The interesting thing was it took them about as long to figure it out as the characters from the show - and they ended up with as little margin for error - none of this by design. Though I must say that is more of a fluke - it just hit me as inspiration and the timing was right. I really enjoy taking bits and pieces from everywhere. I took a book on Egypt, complete with a map of the pyramids and surroundings, and used that as the basis for another adventure - I hand drew a new map, inspired by the real one, and then populated it with different innards. That was also a rather memorable adventure. [/QUOTE]
