I find Wikipedia's listing of fictional elements to be pretty awesome.

I got a big pile of VHS tapes, some recorded TV shows of old, some emulators and ROMs, and Google when I'm feeling stale.

Oh, dear God, where do I start...

Well, okay: In the short version, anything can set me off. I keep a dumpster-diving list of favorites. Let's see...

-Planewalker.com used to be an excellent resource for items and monsters, then they changed the format of the website and now it's a pain in the ass to browse.

-http://wen-m.deviantart.com/gallery/. This guy. Just browse his stuff. Be sure to look at the pictures full size.

My list of online sources for inspiration is ever-growing and bigger than I can keep track of with active memory. I'll post good ones as I find/remember them.

A freeware platformer game. I've adapted some plot points into my own creations.

Some interactive fiction. I've only played Shade, but that was enough to add it to my list.

A webcomic I intend to adapt ideas and ambience from.

Blog entries describing a finished campaign.

Another webcomic that makes me want to try a new narrative style.

Playthroughs of videogames in video or screenshot format. Generally come with commentary, some screenshot-based ones are written in-character.


That seems a decent start. I'll look a few pages deeper into my bookmarks next time.

Atomic Rockets, if you want to know about space flight.

Heh... heheh.... campaign generators, the death of creativity... or the rebirth?

I've been using this one for fiction as well, although Sanskrit provides more names than anything random (for the setting).
