<h1>About SessionZero</h1>
|
||
<p class="tagline">A free, open-source, and system-agnostic TTRPG companion app.</p>
|
||
</section>
|
||
|
||
<section class="content">
|
||
<p>SessionZero is built to be a flexible, minimal companion for <b>any</b> tabletop RPG system you want to run—from popular games to niche homebrew. It’s designed to get out of your way and put you in total control of your game data.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>We believe your data should always be yours. That’s why SessionZero is built around three core principles: it's <em>system-agnostic</em>, <em>offline-first</em>, and <em>truly open source</em> (AGPL-3.0).</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Core of SessionZero</h2>
|
||
|
||
<div class="feature-detail">
|
||
<h3>System-Agnostic Datapacks</h3>
|
||
<p>The entire application is driven by <b>Datapacks</b> (.szp files). These are structured archives of JSON files and assets that define a game system’s rules, character sheets (Templates), and content (Datasets like items and monsters). If you can define it, you can play it.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="feature-detail">
|
||
<h3>Offline-First & Self-Hostable</h3>
|
||
<p>SessionZero works fully offline by default, storing all your content and characters locally on your device. For shared, real-time play with friends, you have the option to run your <b>own server instance</b>. This means no central service is required, and your data ownership remains absolute.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="feature-detail">
|
||
<h3>Shared Sessions and Live Play</h3>
|
||
<p>For Game Masters, Sessions allow you to track initiative, manage NPCs, and make real-time updates to player characters. Players can join your game, keep private journals, and reference the campaign's required Datasets. When online, updates are pushed instantly via WebSockets.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="feature-detail">
|
||
<h3>Open Source and Transparent</h3>
|
||
<p>The code is licensed under <b>AGPL-3.0</b>. You're free to inspect, modify, and contribute to the project. There's no telemetry, no lock-in, and no hidden features—just community-driven TTRPG software built for TTRPG players.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h2>SessionZeroDB</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Every server instance includes a SessionZeroDB where users can download and share custom datapcks.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Federation (Future Plan - Phase 2)</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>The future plan is <b>Federation</b>: allowing independent SessionZero servers to discover and share public content (Datapacks, Templates) across any SessionZero server instance that is configured to allow public discovery. This enables players on one self-hosted server to connect with and use content from another public server they trust, without relying on a central authority.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Who Should Use This?</h2>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Players and GMs who demand <b>total control</b> over their character sheets, notes, and game data.</li>
|
||
<li>Anyone tired of apps that are bloated, restrictive, or constantly designed to sell you content.</li>
|
||
<li>Developers or tinkerers who want a flexible, open-source platform to build their own TTRPG tools.</li>
|
||
</ul>
