What happens when you trade your pre-built sheets for raw imagination and map out a completely new world from scratch? You get the cozy, behind-the-scenes magic of a true Session Zero! Before jumping headfirst into their highly anticipated homebrew campaign, the creators of Fumblelore gather around the microphones for a laid-back family conversation to flesh out their new personalities, map out player expectations, and reveal a massive twist about the upcoming setting of Ithrodel.

Listeners will get an inside look at how table dynamics shift when building a multi-layered story for the long haul in Critical Role's Daggerheart system. Discover how a punch-happy, 17-year-old Slyborne Sorcerer who is used to swinging first coordinates with his deeply book-smart, 15-year-old Wizard sister who just wants to keep the peace. If you want to see exactly how real-life family dynamics translate into high-fantasy characters—or you're a Game Master looking for tips on running an engaging cooperative prelude—this casual strategy session is your perfect guide.
