Issue #2: Session 0
So everyone knows, I painstakingly selected each of these shots of unfocused snowstorm.
For the title, a "session 0" is what TTRPG players call a session where everyone introduces themselves and/or make characters and is called such because it's getting the stuff out of the way before the story of the adventure actually starts. That is NOT what's happening here though...
SCRIPT:
2.1
Michelle: Enough with that for now, Steven! I spent my whole day setting this up! Just so you'd stop moping around the house all the time! Give me a chance!
2.2
Steven: Alright, alright Michelle, though I wasn't moping. I've never moped…never.
Michelle: Uh-huh…
2.3
Steven: But one-person-one-DM RPGs aren't typically that fun, just so you know.
Michelle: Well, I know we just moved here and don't know anyone yet but maybe people might be interested to join later?
2.4
Michelle: I dunno how long these typically take…
Steven: If we're doing it right, it never ends…
2.5
Steven: So what rules are we using? GURPS? DND? Call of Cthulhu?
Michelle: I have no clue what you're talking about, hun. And do we need rules? I thought we were just acting out scenes or whatever? We just make it up, right?
2.6
Steven: …I just don't know what to do with myself without dice though….
Michelle: Look, Steve, I’m taking part in an interest you have that I’ve barely known about before. Just give me a chance, okay?
2.7
Steven: Okay, okay, I’m sorry babe. You know I’d do anything for you. I mean, who needs dice!
2.8
Michelle: Great! Let's start playing, you find yourself in the middle of a snowstorm.
Steven: I feel very, um, cold?
