First Post
I just posted to the 'how many campaigns have you completed' thread about one of my campaigns where I loosely based the campaign on Susan Cooper's wonderful series of children's books The Dark Is Rising Sequence which is made up of (IIRC):
Over Sea, Under Stone
The Dark Is Rising (which scared me to death as a twelve year old)
Greenwitch
The Grey King
Silver on the Tree
In the series, The Light is seeking the Six Signs of the Light (Wood, Bronze, Iron, Water, Fire, Stone) and various other items to be used in the final confrontation with the Dark. In my campaign, each sign was kept by one of six races who had each been placed within a protective 'bubble' that kept them safe from the rampaging dark. The party had to find each race and recover the signs (in a way linked to the prophecy rhymes of the books)before the final battle.
What lesser known books, myths, etc have you used to run a successful campaign (not just mined a few ideas from).
