So where does everyone like to draw inspiration from for their DG games/Investigators or even NPCs?

True Detective, X-Files, great TV shows. The SCP Wiki has some good inspiration. I used to peruse/listen to the occasional interesting looking conspiracy websites/podcasts, when they’re just weird and less political.

Where do you all like to draw inspiration from?

    I like to look for real people/organizations/ideologies for inspiration. For example, I recently looked through a bunch of fascist esoterica as inspiration for making a Shub-Niggurath cult that patrols the US-Mexico border looking for migrants to kidnap and eat/sacrifice. Might is Right is pretty much a Shub-Niggurath cultist’s bible.

    I’m also basing the lead cultist of off Measurehead from Disco Elysium. His cranial measurements (which he tattooed on his head) are gradually changing as a result of mutagenic exposure to the Dark Mother and he’s sinking even further into psychotic alt-right delusions to cope with it.
