[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 9074037, member: 6901101"] Just wanted to ask and share some outside inspirations for in-game campaigns. We all have different passions outside of our D&D table, so I am curious what they are and how they inspire your DMing or playing. So, what are your outside inspirations? I'll start with a few of mine from the past year: The first is a wonderful hiking/camping trip to Joshua Tree National Park this winter. It inspired the campaign we are presently playing!
