At Session Zero Heroes we believe in the power of storytelling through tabletop roleplaying games and use a wide variety of systems to create these stories which we share through the podcast medium. From hilarious to emotional our stories and themes come in all shapes and sizes and help us to create amazing series and one-shots for your listening pleasure! Our primary anchor shows include Benders & Brews: An Avatar Legends Actual Play which is the show that started it all! In this series we jump into the world of Avatar the Last Airbender as a group of teens fight back rival tea shops and the occasional run-in with pirates and the Fire Nation in order to save their own tea shop: The Blissful Brew. We also host a Dungeons & Dragons series called Criminals of Isla Numus where a handful of characters are thrown into a deities pocket dimension with the goal of making 1,000,000 gold in the space of roughly a year’s time. Will they be able to overcome a variety of obstacles and struggles and accomplish their task? Or will they fail and be trapped in this pocket world forever? In addition to these anchor shows we create a variety of one-shots within different systems to share shorter tales of adventure and excitement.
