See I think the tv characters idea is great. You’re not going to literally imitate them. But you also don’t need to build every single NPC from scratch and method act lol. Sometimes I’ll go “alright this dude is basically Barney Stinson” or whatever in my mind and then just let it roll.
And even if you do create "original" characters, it can be extremely helpful to imagine your fantasy casting for them to aid in your roleplay. This big guy is John Goodman, that suave rogue is George Clooney, the gnome over there is Jim Carey.
Exactly. Just because you’re inspired by something doesn’t mean you are being unoriginal. And honestly, you’re just playing pretend with your friends. Who cares if you lift some ideas?
The most important thing is that everyone is having a good time.
