\chapter{Introduction}
This is a gaming resource, largely focused on table top roleplaying games
or TTRPGs. It's mostly about the `before you start playing' portion of
playing these games, which for some may be part of the `one session' in
a one shot type game, or it may be an entirely separate session.
I am writing this as I'm reading {\it Avatar Legends}\cite{avatar-legends}
and wanting to start a campaign/session up to play that, as a nice
accessible and family friendly game.
I have heard actual play of the game.
So, here's a bit of a discription of what I want to talk about here.
\begin{itemize}
\item{Why Sesion 0}
\item{Introducing Game}
\item{Game Master's Perspective}
\item{Players Perspective}
\item{Safety Tools}
\begin{itemize}
\item{Lines and Veils}
\item{X Card}
\item{Consent in Gaming}
\item{TTRPG Safety Toolkit}
\item{Open Door}
\item{Post Session Debrief}
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
Most of this is coming from other sources, but right now, I've not got an
easy way to include those (I've got the tools, just not set them up), and
the whole book is more my perspective, as coloured by those resources.
\section{Chapter Sumaries}
This will include the sumaries of the chapters that we have as we go along.
They will be one or two short paragraphs, just so you can quickly be able
to see where you might want to go with a given topic.
\subsection{Introduction}
This is what you're reading. It hopefully at least the main parts of this
will be kept short enough that you can read and get a fair sense of what the
overall intent of this book is. Great, `pick up at the store, read to see
if you want to pick up a copy,' type thing.
\section{Other Versions}
This will have a list of known released to the wild other versions. As
this is currently being developed on my Forgejo server\todo{Figure out how
to link properly to that version}, versions may be released that we are
not aware of.
It will inlcude the current version information on release, and the
previous version info. This is intended to be a living document, so if
you are finding a version which is on the older side, there may be more
recent versions available.
