Day 16: How does your environment inform your work?
I have talked about this one before.
I grew up in the midwest in the 70s and 80s. My "adventures" were often road trips. My backgrounds included a love of horror movies, a mother who knew some of the most blood-chilling stories I have ever heard, and a fascination for mythology and the occult.
It was a heady brew that only the alchemy of the 70s and 80s could produce.
In my books, I want to recapture the feel of finding some lost occult tome of the 70s. Something a little subversive, a little dangerous and a little outside of the reach of the normal people out there.
Hammer Horror + Occult 70s + NWoBHM from the 80s gives you the environment I grew up in and what informs all my RPG creations.
