In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we discuss Session 0. We discuss pitching game ideas, establishing expectations, TTRPG safety tools, and collaborative character creation. We recommend and discuss some helpful tools like pre-game surveys, the "X Card", improv games, and tools like Decuma and Curse of Strahd's Tarroka deck.

Special thanks to @Winglady14 on Twitter and on the RPGBOT.Discord for the question of the week.
