[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9603825, member: 52734"] Most of my influences for D&D have been movies, not so much books. My exposure to Conan for the longest time was the movie versions and Marvel comic (Conan the Barbarian and some of Savage Sword of Conan). I never started reading the actual stories until just last year, but Conan has always been in forefront of my ideal Barbarian-class character. Lately, I've gotten my hands on the Lankhmar books, and have been (slowly) reading it. I've come to realize that reading is a real pain and takes an enormous amount of concentration to stay with I just can't muster any more. For me, it is agonizingly slow to read vs. how fast I can consume auditory or visually. I used to read a fair number of books up until college (in the '90s), then switched to listening to audio books for some time. Since after the Harry Potter and Eragon book series, I don't think I've done much reading at all. Almost exclusively now, movies and Youtube fan videos are my source of ideas. [/QUOTE]
