Session
Zero
D&D for the whole family table.
Your kid asked you to play, and you panicked — no rulebook, no dice experience, no idea where to start. Good. You're exactly who this is for.
My kid asked me to play D&D. I panicked.
No experience. No idea what a d20 was. Just a kid who wanted to play, and a parent who didn't want to say no. A while later, we play every week — it's become one of our favorite things to do together.
This is everything I wish someone had handed me before that first session: a story already built, characters already made, and permission to get the rules wrong.
