Resource – headshots

For in-person games, as part of my standard Monsterhearts kit, I carry around a deck of cards each with a character headshot on them. I personally find it helpful on a couple of fronts – it helps the players pick a more specific ‘look’ for their PC and also helps me keep a hand of NPC cards ready and encourages me to reincorporate them.

The website I got them from specialises in actor headshots (I was looking for young, good-looking and broody so aspiring actors fit the bill pretty well). Here:

Resource – photos

Courtesy of a comment made by Richard Rogers on a Jankcast about picking out outfits for his Hollow, I discovered Lookbook.nu . Often, especially for online play, I’m looking for pictures of the same NPC on different days, wearing different clothes. If your Monsterhearts students run to the pretty and glamorous, then you may find this a good source. Click on the name of someone you like for a character, then click on Looks to see them in lots of different outfits.
