The Session Zero System is a playable compendium full of useful and varied tools that aim to help TTRPG players highlight what foundational conversations to have before they start to play. The system provides a framework to tackle: Setting Expectations, Tone & Mood, House Rules, Safety Tools, Character Bleed, After Care, using this game Beyond the Session Zero, and more. Additional, the creators have built out the Story Path & Fragment Guide that lets the whole table build backstories as lively and vibrant as the characters they make them for all while tethering them to deeply the world of the adventure!
