For the draft i've just delivered today it's hard to say what inspired me, i've worked on it a couple of weeks ago, for some hours, just gathering some ideas i came up after chatting with the Owl (that pestered me enough to write it :-D ...i don't know if this might count as inspiration :-P) .
So, this is more like a postmortem inspiration review.
In the draft i got inspired by some mechanics from Noirlandia, the idea that you can give a meaning to each seed and then to each card it's a very nice idea that i've tried to reproduce here. I've also tried to have some kind of controlled alea, instead of make it disappear.
For the thematics i sure got inspired by some of the iconic scifi movies, for example Alien, Gravity and Sunshine(trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veC25b8Vd2E).
Also by a multitable adventure some friends organized with Alien RPG (Fria Ligan), which i had the chance to play .
Finally, some music to get partially in the right mood; to try to imagine yourself, alone, in this dark void, surrounded by majestic astrophisical entities: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLudkhjWHjTE95LWYZGDPMQ
I hope those references can be of inspiration also for you
Cheers
