- Music from 1200 to 1990;
- Baroque art;
- Documentaries and films about baroque and the Victorian era;
- Probably some other movies as well, but I can't remember which exactly;
- The Christmas truce in 1915. It is not a movie, it's a real event. It influenced on how I treat my inRP enemies;
- Some history stuff;
- "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", written by Douglas Adams;
- "Le Pere Goriot", written by Honore de Balzac (mostly influenced my Gallic characters).
Ancient Romans rules and sayings that are quite actual:
Beware what you say, when, and to whom.
I think therefore I am.
As long as you are successful, you will have many friends.
Fortune favours the brave.
Bread and circuses.
The result validates the deeds.
Funny thing is they fit in everything quite well too- not only in RP. As it seems we humans haven't changed much in our ways for 2200 years, just the means are different when the result is the same.

Conquest of paradise ( film + soundtrack )
Aristotle ( Philosophy)
Georgia's independence from the Soviet

Six day war - Israeli-Arab war ( atrategy - deception, preemptive strikes, surgical attacks etc )
I didn't read classical literature, time-proven philosophy, I didn't watch famous movies, didn't play sci-fy games, I don't know much from any branch of science, I have no mates around and I didn't have true high quality roleplay since a while.
My imagination is limited in its current state, I mostly forget my dreams.
I am loosing mind concentration once trying to think about a story to roleplay out, my characters are being deleted soon after created.
Any goal I am trying to make proves itself to be useless because I can't find sense in the background, like "why shall I do it? There is no gain..."
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, they stimulate me to work with my mind and soul, hope it could turn out in enjoyable roleplay sometimes as a particular result as well.
