Putting together all the disparate elements of an episode has taken a long time. We recorded the material for this episode back on 11 November 2017 as part of our “Session 0.”
“Session 0” is a term for any first RPG session where you meet with the players and discuss the groundwork of the campaign: creating characters, brainstorming world-building details, establishing house rules and acceptable table behavior, setting expectations, and so on. With this campaign, all I knew is that we wanted to play a D&D 5e game. The rest we made up at the table, and you can hear some of that in this first episode, where the DM and you meet the players and characters for our first campaign.
