[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9000129, member: 93670"] Plenty of people don't read the introduction or they read it at some point [I]prior[/I] to starting to make their character during session zero. Can you point out what page of the PHB contains how to play video "actual play" "podcast" & so on? are you confusing session zero with... [spoiler="this"] [MEDIA=youtube]0YhJxJZOWBw[/MEDIA] [/spoiler] I've never encountered someone with the [URL='https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Headjack']headjack[/URL] that seems to be required for that. And people said my description of players was too extreme. That is so incorrect & hostile it's a rather offensive inversion of what I said in how it tries to villainize me & other GMs. The level of risk I noted & pressure to collaborate was one of the factors present in the old editions where similar chargen text was sufficient. It was sufficient in those editions [I]because[/I] of that factor pressuring players to proactively engage in some aspects of session zero type collaboration. Without that risk to apply pressure a better chargen section is needed. I even explained that along with other factors in the rest of the post you are quoting. We were talking about session zero. Are you trying to say that session zero is unnecessary? [/QUOTE]
