[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 9302995, member: 6701124"] The problem I'm having is that there is some fantasy I love, but I don't think has actually had a sizeable impact on my play or DMing: Earthsea, Narnia, and Princess Bride. Or things that might if I made my own RPG, but haven't yet in D&D: Black Company, Dread Empire, Crouching Tiger, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord Darcy, and Neverwhere. I think the ones that have to a sizeable degree include: [LIST] [*]Hobbit, LotR, Silmarillion - lots of random things [*]The Box Set of Moldvay Basic and B2 - The creature descriptions in there still outweigh the ones in subsequent editions - especially kobolds, B2 is the platonic module (for good or evil), and the DMing advice [*]1e MM - the LE Devils, CE Demons, and super lethal undead [*]Garrett Files - power level, the multi-species city feeling, rat people [*]Conan - for some of the world feel and how cosmic horror shows up [*]Dying Earth 1-3 and the Songs of Dying Earth tribute anthology - random things [/LIST] I've used a wide variety of clerics since 1982 and don't know where I got the inspiration for them since they don't usually match anything in IRL mythology. I have a bunch of things that have shown up in campaigns that I have no idea where they came from, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was some book I read, another RPG, or someone else's DMing.
