    Session Zeros are always so great. It feels like the beginning of the school year, where there's so much optimism and promise before things ultimately devolve into Monty Python.

    I'd even argue it's a good idea to have refresher "session 0s" every now and then. I found its helped a lot, since my party sometimes veer off tracks a little if we play consistently for long enough. Prick.

    I used to dread doing session Zeroes mainly because we usually did not know when we would be getting together again to game, and we did not have time to game after. BUT, playing some games online constantly and having a good in person game that is consistent helped, and feel it is necessary if you want to have a longterm game now.
    BTW, I've played with people who were easily triggered by dad jokes (lol)

    yeah new video that i can watch during work *happy*
    Session 0 for me feel like "we are now starting something new" and "get players on the same idea what will happen". In my current campaign (Strange Aeons from pathfinder which i play with shadow of the demonlord rules) i told them that they will start with Anmesia...and that they will roll their ancestry and first class / path so they spend the first real session in figuring out "where are we" and "who am i" which took a while since one of them is a cambion and he has no wings and is not as red as Hellboy.
