Session Zero Starter Sheets

The two sheets every campaign should start with — free.

Most campaigns don't die from a bad plot twist. They die from mismatched expectations and calendars. These two print-and-play sheets fix both, in one session zero:

• The Session Zero Agenda — a 90-minute meeting plan covering the pitch, the people, safety & comfort, logistics, and characters (last, on purpose)
• The Scheduling Pact — quorum rules and a cancellation ladder, in writing. The boring sheet that saves the campaign.

System-neutral: works with D&D 5e, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, and whatever your group runs next. Print freely, share with your group.

Want the rest?

These sheets come from The Session Zero Toolkit — 14 worksheets covering the whole campaign lifecycle: table charter, player surveys, GM prep sheets, the Missing Player Playbook, campaign health checks, and how to end a campaign on purpose instead of by ghosting.

And for the why behind all of it: Roll for Friendship, the book on keeping RPG groups alive.
