session zero

A session zero is a preparatory meeting for a role-playing game (RPG) or tabletop game, where players and the game master (GM) come together before the actual gameplay starts. During this session, participants discuss the game’s setting, establish rules, create characters, and set expectations regarding themes and boundaries. It ensures everyone understands the game’s tone and cooperates on playing styles, promoting a positive and enjoyable experience for all involved. Essentially, session zero lays the groundwork for a successful and engaging gaming adventure.
