We spend hours discussing the ins and outs of running role playing games, but how do we set a game up? How do you organize several people to make characters, and agree upon a setting, system, and story? This week Sara and Rob discuss the concept and implementation of a Session Zero, a test bed for both storytellers and players to explore the system and characters.
