[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8013971, member: 29398"] Here's a few key ones of mine... Books and writings: Tolkein Martin Eddings Kurtz Weis-Hickman Lynch (more recently) Lovecraft (but see below) TV and movies: Xena WP - Hercules TLJ Lord of the Rings Game of Thrones Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon [Black Sails, if I ever get to run a maritime campaign] Other media: a few metal bands whose works have inspired or informed some memorable adventures various online artists whose character portraits have either inspired or augmented many a PC Not consciously; and if I'm avoiding it unconsciously I obviously don't realize it. :) That said, there's a whole bunch of stuff in Appendix N I've neither read nor ever really had much interest in reading - most notably Conan, who so many seem to want to point to as an example of something or other in different debates here. And even though I use some Lovecraftian monsters and mythology in my game I find his actual written works - those I've read, anyway - very much lacking. [/QUOTE]
