Ep 104: Session Zero Part 1
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!

Customer Reviews
I could listen to these two talk about anything!
Deeply knowledgeable - you will learn a ton, great voices and chemistry, and overall just fun to listen to!
5 stars!
Definitely the best Dungeon Master advise podcast I’ve ever found!
Required listening for game/dungeon masters
Fantastic podcast. I’ve learned so much. It’s made me a better GM, and made my games more interesting and fun for myself and my players. My only complaint is that it wasn’t around 20 years ago when I started. And yes, I’d love a sticker
