Good artists steal or whatever blah blah

No one creates anything in a vacuum. No one sits in a cave and just pumps out great adventure ideas ex nihilo. Gygax read like every Robert E. Howard and Fritz Lieber story and a million other things on the way to creating Greyhawk. (As an aside, Of Dice and Men is a great history of the creation of D&D and well worth a weekend read).

So, what that means, for me at least, is to be constantly hoovering up culture and ideas and whatnot and digesting them and turning them into stuff you can use. It's always awesome to stumble across great things you can really use, and trawling r/DND is great for that.

This Post has some awesome ideas for a city built around the living body of the Tarrasque, from which you can grow an entire campaign. Well worth a look.
