<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>, or join an already established one. 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 to your players, and you can even use the chat log to communicate or run commands.</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 software built for and by a community of 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, and also join live sessions with players from other servers, 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>
