Arcadia comes to the table as the ref this session. Malcolm starts the conversation by talking about session 0 and its uses at the table. Session 0 can be a useful tool at a gaming table. This can make sure your “social contract” is good for all members of the table. You can bring up house rules and how they will work in the game. You can also set expectations for both DM and players alike. It helps sort through trigger warnings, likes, dislikes, and setting limits. Back from break, Tori is up next and talks about the importance of backstories. This can help shape PCs and the game as well. This informs the story in so many ways. During character creation adding the back story piece can give a PC depth and help you engage with the story even more.
