Hi everyone!
After a few years of playing quite a few characters, APs and modules on Paizo, I'm starting to seriously consider trying my hand at GMing. I've always liked telling stories and roleplaying, and I think it could be a fun experience, if a challenging one.
I live quite in the middle of nowhere, and have never been near a RL group. Not only is there nearly no one I can ask questions to about GMing and how to do it, but if I run anything, it's going to have to be PBP on Paizo. Which is okay with me, but comes with its own problems.
With all that in mind, I have three questions for anyone who would be kind enough to be willing to give me some advice:
1. Because there's no use trying to be ambitious when you're learning to ropes, I don't want to start by running an AP, a campaign, or anything that could get me overwhelmed because of my experience. What would be a great, one-shot module for a beginner GM? (with some room for fun RP, of course :))
2. On Paizo, I've had GMs who used Google Slides for maps, or others that relied on Roll20. I don't have a clue how to do maps, and from what I've gathered, it's often described by GMs as difficult to learn and master. Are there tutorials? Should I use Google, Roll20, or something even easier to use?
3. One thing that is also completely new to me is how to prepare an adventure/module/scenario. Are there any resources I must have and use, beyond what can easily be found online for free (anything on legacy.aonprd, anything on the Archives of Nethys, etc...)?
Thank you very much in advance for your consideration and help! :) I really hope I can get to GMing in the following months (or 2022 at the latest...)
