<h1>About SessionZero</h1>
<p class="tagline">A free, open-source, and offline-first TTRPG companion for any game system.</p>
<p class="tagline">A free, open-source, and system-agnostic TTRPG companion app.</p>
</section>
<section class="content">
<p>SessionZero is a free and open-source TTRPG "companion" application for managing characters, templates, data, and game sessions. It allows you to utilize any TTRPG system by being <strong>completely data-driven</strong> with user-generated content.</p>
<p>SessionZero is built to be a flexible companion for any tabletop RPG system you want to run, whether that's a popular game or your own homebrew creation. The goal is simple: give you full control over your game data without getting in your way.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<p>Your data should always belong to you. SessionZero is built around three principles: it works with any game system, it runs offline on your own device, and it's completely open source under the AGPL-3.0 license.</p>
<h2>How SessionZero Works</h2>
<div class="feature-detail">
<h3>Offline-First, No Strings Attached</h3>
<p>By default, SessionZero works completely offline. Your data is stored locally on your machine. No account required. No phoning home. You have total ownership over your data.</p>
<h3>Works With Any Game System</h3>
<p>SessionZero uses something called Datapacks, which are basically packages that contain everything needed to play a specific game system, or just simply additional content that can be used anywhere. Think of them like expansion packs, but for the rules and content of your game. A Datapack includes things like character sheet templates, session templates, items, monsters, and whatever else the game needs. You can download Datapacks others have made, or create your own for any system you want to play.</p>
</div>
<div class="feature-detail">
<h3>Build Your Own Universe</h3>
<p>You're the architect. Create templates for character sheets, define custom stats, and build your own collections (Datasets) of items, spells, monsters, or anything else your game needs. All data is stored in a human-readable format (SZF) that you can easily export, share, and back up.</p>
<h3>Runs Offline on Your Device</h3>
<p>Everything lives on your device by default. Your characters, your notes, your campaigns, all stored locally. If you want to run a live game with friends online, you have two options: set up your own self-hosted server, or join an already established server that someone else is running. There's no company-run service in the middle, which means you're not dependent on anyone else to keep your games running.</p>
</div>
<div class="feature-detail">
<h3>Run Your Game, Your Way</h3>
<p>Use SessionZero for your private, offline session notes, or host a live online game for your friends. As a Game Master, you can manage NPCs, track turns, and make real-time updates to character sheets. Players can join with their own characters and keep private session journals.</p>
<h3>Live Sessions With Your Group</h3>
<p>SessionZero allows you to connect to a host via P2P using a direct IP address or using a room code generated by a small signaling server (yes, that too is self-hostable!) that can be sent to players.</p>
<p>When you're running a game, SessionZero helps you manage the session. Game Masters can track turn order, control NPCs, and update player information in real time. Players joining your game can keep their own private notes, view shared campaign information, and see updates as they happen. There's also a chat feature for quick communication during play.</p>
</div>
<div class="feature-detail">
<h3>Open Source and Transparent</h3>
<p>SessionZero is open-source software. We believe in the right to see what's going on behind the scenes and contribute to the project. No AI chatbots, no ads, no bloat. We promise.</p>
<h3>Open Source and Community-Driven</h3>
<p>The entire project is open source, which means anyone can look at the code, suggest changes, or build their own version. There's no tracking, no premium features locked behind paywalls, and no corporate interests. It's built by and for TTRPG lovers.</p>
</div>
<h2>The SessionZeroDB</h2>
<h2>Sharing Custom Content</h2>
<p>SessionZero includes access to the <strong>SessionZeroDB</strong>, a free online repository of user-created templates and datasets. When online, the application can automatically find and download required content for you.</p>
<p>The SessionZeroDB is a content repository where users can download or share Datapacks.</p>
<h2>Who Is This For?</h2>
<p>The goal is to make the repository self-hostable so that anyone can host one. Inside SessionZero you'll be able to list all the sources where you want to pull packages from. Optionally, repositories can allow being indexed by the official master repository so that their contents are visible and can be pulled from just the main source.</p>
<h2>Who This Is For</h2>
<ul>
<li>Players who want total control over their character sheets and game data</li>
<li>Game Masters who want to run any system whether it's a popular RPG, niche indie game, or their own homebrew content</li>
<li>Anyone who's tired of apps that feel bloated, hard to learn, restrictive, or designed to constantly sell you something</li>
<li>Players and GMs who want complete control over their character sheets, notes, and game data.</li>
<li>Anyone frustrated with apps that are bloated, restrictive, or constantly trying to sell you something.</li>
<li>People who prefer tools that respect their privacy and don't require an internet connection.</li>
<li>Developers or hobbyists interested in tinkering with an open platform for tabletop gaming.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bottom Line</h2>
<p>SessionZero is about freedom, flexibility, and respecting your game. It's not here to sell you a bunch of digital add-ons or lock your data in a vault. It's a tool built to help you play.</p>
<h2>What SessionZero is <em>NOT</em></h2>
<div class="cta-section">
<h3>Ready to Get Started?</h3>
<p><a href="https://web.sessionzero.app" class="cta-button">Open SessionZero</a></p>
<p class="cta-subtitle"><em>No account required. No installation needed. Just start playing.</em></p>
<p>SessionZero is <b>not</b> a replacement for your official rulebooks or published modules. It's a companion tool for managing characters and sessions using content you create or source yourself. There's no monetization of user content, no digital storefront, and no official content sales by design. SessionZero's objective is helping you organize and play the games you already own or create yourself.</p>

<h2>Support Development of SessionZero!</h2>

<p>SessionZero is currently being developed by a single developer (me!) in my spare time from work and other life duties. This project is a massive undertaking with all of the complex systems all while trying to keep the whole thing open-source and future-proof.</p>
<p>If you want to help out and can spare a few bucks, you can donate using my `Buy Me A Coffee` page! Any and all donations are a huge help, and could even help bring this passion project to life even faster. Thank you!</p>
