Maryann Siembieda recently said this on the company's message boards during a thread where claims were made that WotC stole ideas, including core elements to their system, from Palladium Books:

"Actually I can support it as I've been told by nameless people who use to work for Hasbro that they have copies of all of our products sitting on a shelf in their production offices and that they are referred to often."

Now, out of a sense of professional curiosity, how many people here look to other rpg systems or settings, or fiction for inspiration when it comes to their writing (no worries, guys and gals, this isn't a witch hunt for plagiarism, I'm merely curious ;D   ). I'd start the ball rolling and say some of the things I've written have been largely inspired by Starship Troopers, the Shannara series, Torg, and various DnD 1e adventures (Expedition to the Barrier Peaks especially).
