Game and Story Use

• Even if you plan to develop your own homebrew setting, don't hesitate to steal from good published settings as appropriate.
  • Make sure you steal ideas from different genres! Just because you're writing for a fantasy setting, doesn't necessarily mean you have to steal only from fantasy settings. Pick and choose ideas you like from other genres, such as science fiction, horror, drama etc.
