	Most of the postings on this subject have taken the "what can I use for
this situation/monster/object/etc."  When I was refing a variant D&D game I
used objects as a springboard to create a game event/object.  I would troll
dimestores, 50/50 shops, hardware stores, flea markets, etc. for "neat stuff"
to use.  These found objects would then make an appearance in my game.

	One of the best sources of inspiration came from old calendars.  At one
time I to worked in several book/game stores here in St. Louis, and when
calendars are returned for credit the covers get sent back, but not the body.
I used to take the occasional "month" if it contained a neat picture of
something I could use.  Particularly useful are the "picture postcard" types.
Huge ...tracts of land, hills and mountains, lakes, rivers, and in general the
great outdoors.
