[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 404698, member: 3887"] Meepo, I'm glad my sig. gets you thinking. Its two lines from a Donald Barthelme short story called, strangely enough, "See the Moon". Its in a collection called 60 Stories. He doesn't write fantasy, however he's amazingly funny if you like absurdity... Which brings up my question. What's the strangest, non-fantasy source of inspiration that found its way into your campaings? I based another whole world around a bunch of poems by W. B. Yeats I had to read back in college. The cosmology was Yeats, and most of the names were from a tour book on Wales {such as Middle Whallop, a town famed for its brawlers}. So what has sparked your collective imaginations, aside from hobbits and a barbarian or two? Books, films, poems, comics, whatever. And not just worlds or campaigns, characters too... Anybody out there create a medieval Mr. Pink or Willy Loman {in Death of a Merchant, of course...} [/QUOTE]
