The Session Zero System

Created by The team at Mythic Grove!

What parts of this world do you call home? Who are the people you come from and call family? What figures have you met along the way that have made the biggest impact on your life so far...was it for good or ill? What events, great or small, have led you to take the path you now find your feet walking on? The Session Zero System is a storytelling game focused on helping adventures build their backstories to be as lively and vibrant as the characters they make them for.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

ILLUSTRATION UPGRADE UNLOCKED & SECRET BACKER GOAL HIT!
over 1 year ago – Sun, Oct 16, 2022 at 11:07:12 PM

The same day we get funded you all pushed us right through and past our first stretch goal. We’ve unlocked the Illustration Upgrade! We are so happy to let Dakota take the details even further with each of the 60 gorgeous art pieces included in the game!


This art upgrade will be available at every Tier level and throughout the life of the game!


We also have hit our secret Backer Goal of 1,000 backers which will allow us to build a Digital Variant Mechanics Document to help you run The Session Zero System for characters starting at higher levels … we’ll include guidelines for Pathfinder, D&d, and the Cypher System!


THE NEXT STRETCH GOAL is also fast approaching- At $80,000 we'll unlock a 5 Episode of Actual Play run by Gabe Hicks, with @AshleyRoboto, @blizzb3ar, and  @Katskratchh as players! This will include 1 Session Zero System run-through followed by 4 episodes of misadventure and mayhem!


Thank you all again for helping us reach these milestones so quickly!

Cheers,

Mythic Grove

OVER HALF WAY THERE!

WE ARE THRILLED AND SO GRATEFUL  that you have all helped us get to 35k in just two days!

Having hundreds of you join us on this adventure of care and mutual respect is absolutely incredible and we are looking forward to enjoying this game with each and every one of you.

AS A THANK YOU, we wanted to share one of the most exciting branches of this tree we’ve been cultivating: ART! Below are some early prompt iterations that you’ll get with every format of The Session Zero System you back.

Three early prompt iterations of included game art: Protegee, Nemesis, and A faction Rises - A City is Saved. Each with beautiful illustrations by Dakota Curry!

FULL DISCLOSURE. It's important to us to have transparency across the entire process of this game and as such, we want to let you know there was a decision to make the PDF included in every Pledge right before we went live. With that decision, our All-In Tier’s price point decreased in value slightly because we couldn’t help but give stuff away for free.


To make sure that Tier’s value reflects the price - we are now including Early Access Playtesting at that Pledge Level!


That means everything from the All-In Tier and above will get rolling digital content before fulfillment and throughout the development process so you can play along as we finalize building out this system and see new art before it is shared anywhere else.


Need more before the Kickstarter campaign is over? Dive into the Polygon interview Gabe Hicks gave to get a better look behind the scenes at what we want The Session Zero System to be!

NEED EVEN MORE? Join us tonight at www.twitch.tv/gabejamesgames at 7:15 pm EST where Gabe will run a one-shot for “a group of monstrous figures who have decided to topple an empire.” He'll be joined by  @AshleyRoboto, @blizzb3ar, and @Katskratchh who have made characters with prompts from their own Session Zero game! (But that will be released a little later!)


Again, thank you for being a part of this adventure with us. We can not wait to share so much more as we continue with this campaign! There is so much more we have in store.

More updates soon!


Cheers,
