Message: <blockquote data-quote="Moonmover" data-source="post: 9302449" data-attributes="member: 7042230">The Lord of the Rings: I mean, obviously. The Elder Scrolls: I like that nonhuman races have full-blown nations of their own, rather than just having lairs or even solitary cities here and there. And I like how, while the gods clearly exist, they are mysterious enough for different cultures to have radically different ideas about them. And, my world has a big silver tower holding the sky up.The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant: This has influenced how I portray Law and "Chaos" (Despite) in my setting. Also I have the demondim/viles/ur-viles in my world, names and all. Oh, and the last remaining forested regions are protected by Forestals.Harry Potter: Mainly this is why my wizards usually have wands instead of staves.Dragonball: Mainly just that one of the PC's in my game got ahold of a stretchy staff like Goku's, once.The Legend of Zelda: There is a region of my world inspired by Wind Waker's Great Sea. Also, the PC's have had encounters with octorocks, wall masters, and armoses.Magic the Gathering: Planeswalkers exist and you might meet one. Also, one of the nations in my setting is inspired by the "Dragons of Tarkir" set.Dragonriders of Pern: Obviously there had to be a good guy faction riding chromatic dragons to fight back against those evil dragons from Not!Tarkir.Fallout: I have a bad guy faction based on Ceasar's Legion. No, not the Roman Empire, but Ceasar's Legion from New Vegas.Warhammer 40,000: My world's thri-kreen are based on the Imperium of Man. There's no time to explain, I have more influences to list.Darkover: One of the nations in my setting is ruled by psionicist aristocrats and features a guild of feminist mercenaries. And, my PC's have encountered "banshees" (giant, screaming terror birds with compound eyes).Yu-Gi-Oh: If you find an artifact in my world, it probably has a ghost living inside.Black Butler: The first BBEG ever encountered in my setting was based on Ciel Phantomhive (assisted by his demonic footman.)Vampire Academy: This is how the vampires in my setting work (and why they are a playable race). Moroi are alive but need blood to stay that way. Sometimes they go nuts and become transformed into a strigoi (a more traditional, evil undead vampire).There is so, so much more. When I consume any piece of media, there's like a 50/50 chance some element of it will get grafted on to my campaign setting. So, I'm stopping myself before this post gets longer.</blockquote>
