Ep 104: Session Zero Part 1

Season 6 · Episode 104

lundi 4 mars 2024Duration 53:27

Next Session Help: We took another awesome question from the Merch Maestro himself, Diet Toothpaste, and it turned out to be so big that we split it into two parts! As we get into the Session 0 discussion we talk about Session .2 (Or Session -1 depending on how you like your numbers) and we focus mainly on the tools you can use like X-cards, Fade to Black, and NO list / Please list. We also discuss Player Table expectations and what players are going to expect from Session 0 (will there be actual playing involved?) Next episode we wrap up with world building and character building, plus a Search the Room! This discussion was a long time coming, so thank you to Diet Toothpaste for giving us the perfect opportunity to get it out there! Thanks for listening!
