Session Zero

1. Setting Content Boundaries:

  • Content phobias to avoid/reskin?
  • Wanderborne naivety boundaries?
  • Heavy themes of precursor collapse?
  • Comfort with Lawless/Syndicate themes?

2. Party Dynamics:

  • Are we the bad guys? (Any faction can be good/bad. Example: villager attacked by monster, no reward, nobody watching - do you help?)
  • What drives us? Shared goals? Consider community cards and faction preferences. Don’t let faction politics tear party apart.
  • Campaign map generation (see below)

3. Party Dynamics Questions:

  • Individual character goals during free time
  • Note: Much easier if players read campaign frame

4. Starting Location/Scene:

  • Choose one location for Scene 1
  • Who governs it? What rumors? What nurseries?
  • Where does party meet? Do they know each other?
