Session 0 - Why This Campaign & Let's Get Started

This past year was the hardest I've ever faced, but the one constant that kept me moving in a positive direction was Dungeons & Dragons. I’m finally ready to get back behind the DM screen to share that magic with you in my new campaign: Steal to Save: A Baldur’s Gate Heist.In this Session Zero, I’m introducing you to a version of Baldur’s Gate gripped by a mysterious plague and the rising political tension of the Shattershield family. You’ll meet our first band of unlikely heroes—a Grung artificer and a Tiefling bard—as we set the stage for a heist where the stakes are life and death. For me, getting back to the table is about more than just a game; it’s about fostering the community and fulfillment that helped me through my darkest times.Catch the Full Visual Experience: If you want to see the chaos in real-time, you can find the full livestream playlist here: 📺https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLySNnM-wWrnJO2yFlRd5p9rhhXa7OWRKbSupport my work via PayPal: https://paypal.me/MInetforce (Your support helps me keep these stories going during this transition).Inside this episode:The "Why": Why D&D was the only place I didn't feel like I was in a dark spot this year.The Setting: A deep dive into the Outer City, the Council of Four, and the plague of exhaustion.The Mechanics: How I approach DMing, our house rules, and the introduction of my DMPC, Thistle Thorogood.The Heist: The first breadcrumbs of a mission to "Steal to Save" the people of Baldur's Gate.Join me every Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern on YouTube for the live sessions.
