Session Zero: setting your table up for success

By Guildhall Team

A great campaign starts before the first die is rolled. Session 0 is the conversation that aligns the table — about tone, content boundaries, schedule, and what kind of story everyone wants to tell.

Cover four things: the tone of the campaign, what content is on and off the table, the practical schedule, and what each player and the GM are excited about.

Write it down. A simple shared note prevents disagreements later — and lets new players see exactly what they're signing up for.

Guildhall surfaces a lot of these expectations on the listing itself, but Session 0 is where the real handshake happens.
