Re: More Inspirations for your LotfP Game

Vance's Dying Earth and China Mieville's Bas Lag books aren't a direct link but they do capture a vibe too.

Avatar Press Comics Caligula seems like a good inspirational tool.

Game of Thrones, though perhaps a tad more tame in comparison to the Lotfp series.

Re: More Inspirations for your LotfP Game

A recent game called Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons gave me a good sense of how powerless adventuring can make you feel. You crawl, sneak and run for your life across gargantuan mines, biting frost and impossible battlefields and run into ancient evils that keep on slapping you around like the little child that you are. Don't want to spoil too much, since the rapid-fire weirdness is definitely the best part of the game.

The Dark Souls artbook is a great source of inspiration as well

Re: More Inspirations for your LotfP Game

One last recommendation I would have for an inspiration for LotfP is Anthropos Games Early Dark. Very gritty, realistic with horrors running around destroying the land around humans as they try to survive the environments and the fell-beasts that stalk the dark woods.
