A parent who had wanted to run Dungeons & Dragons for their 14-year-old and friends for years, but never had time to learn the game or how to be a good dungeon master, is using Claude to plan the campaign and get up to speed fast.
I'm a complete beginner dungeon master running Dungeons & Dragons for [NUMBER] players aged [AGE]. Explain only the rules I need for a first session, then plan a [LENGTH, E.G. TWO-HOUR] adventure about [THEME] with a simple map description, three encounters, a few non-player characters with names and voices, and tips for keeping everyone involved.
Replace the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own details before you send it.
How to try it
- Tell Claude your players’ ages, experience and how long you want the session to be.
- Ask it to explain the rules you’ll need, then quiz you on them before game night.
- After each session, tell it what happened and ask it to plan the next chapter.

Get printable piano exercises for a tricky skill with Claude and MuseScore
Learning the piano and struggling with hand independence, Brian Kent asked Claude for exercises and found its text suggestions sensible. To get sheet music he could print, he asked for the exercises in MusicXML format and opened the file in the free MuseScore app, which gave clean, readable scores one exercise at a time.
I'm a beginner piano player working on [SKILL, E.G. HAND INDEPENDENCE]. Suggest [NUMBER] short, progressive exercises for this, each with a one-line explanation of what it trains.
