Session zero, is it important? Yes! And we discuss all about it. Setting expectations about setting and tone. Realism Vs Fantasy. Light Vs Dark. How deadly is this campaign? What is the world like? How is magic seen? How do the races interact, what is the history and lore of this world? Are there Factions, kings, or politics? Understating what everyone is hoping to get out of this campaign? How are you going to handle Combat, puzzles, roleplay, and exploration? What is the framework of the campaign? The type of story or campaign does everyone want to play? Session 0 is also a chance to sync up characters (backstories, goals, factions, family) and story beats and arcs for PCs(maybe mainly with the dm). Is session 0 worth doing with veteran players? What are the table expectations for food, phones, alcohol, PC vs PC combat (for new groups)? Are there going to have home rules? It can also be a great time for creating a safe environment for the players (what are things that could trigger a player, what are players comfortable and uncomfortable with, gore/violence, PC-NPC relationships, sexy stuff?) we talk about all this and more.
