Welcome to the first episode of our brand new podcast series we're calling Modified Rolls, where the DMs discuss common design elements throughout tabletop roleplaying games. We compare and contrast how different game systems approach these topics, give advice on how and when to use certain tools, and share our experiences using them in our own games.

Our first episode is about how we approach a Session 0 to set up a satisfying campaign for our players. We define what a Session 0 is, give advice for GMs and players as they go into their own session 0s, share our favorite games' approaches to session 0s, and highlight safety tools to make sure everyone at the table is going to have a great time.

Now get out there and have a Session 0, tell us how it goes!
