Through session 0 we first establish everybody’s expectations for the campaign:
- What kind of campaign do we want to run? How long do we think we want to run it? Format? Tone?
- We talk about/fill out the form for the stuff we don’t want to see in the game anonymously or not
- We talk about homebrew rules and content
- We agree on a theme and start character creation, making sure that all characters are connected narratively (know each other from some place before and have the same goal)
- We pick a starting spot and then the DM gets started with preparations for session 1 while everyone finalizes their backstories.
