[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 8069415, member: 6901101"] These are great reads. (y) Teacher here, so watching the students in D&D club has always inspired me. Not so much with ideas, but with youthful exuberance. And BookTenTiger, I do the same thing with when creating a quest or lesson plan. What's the final outcome, or in the quest's case, outcomes, and what are the roads there. I think lesson plans are much more linear, as you are trying to encourage a very specific skill set to be utilized. But it is still the same process. Avid hiker. This has crept into all aspects of my gaming, from design to play. I'm fifty, and even today when I hike, my mind wanders into D&D territory. Was hiking just last week. It was hot and buggy and the trail was full of roots as it made its way on the high-ground through the estuary. And all I could think of was - If this were D&D, I bet a troll would live here. Maybe even a hag. Where would their lair be? What difficulties would you describe to adventurers about traveling? Where would the fight scene take place? ;) Really like cooking. So there's a lot of that in my game. Fortunately, most of the people I play with like it too, so we throw food that matches the game every so often. We have a brewer, so he will sometimes make something relevant to the game as well. But this works its way into the descriptions more than anything. Read a lot of science books. Not sure this comes into play. At times, it may have even hindered the escapism. Other times, it has helped the escapism by letting my mind come to a logical conclusion about an setting or scenario. One thing I haven't seen in here, which is surprising (I think?) is an avid video gamer. I choose one game every year or two to play. That's it. They are always fantasy RPG's. I draw some inspiration from those settings and the world. Skyrim, The Witcher, and Dragon Age have been the three games I played the last ten years. Working out I find will translate to my table every now and then. Describing a good deadlift from your big burly warrior is an artform. ;) [/QUOTE]
