The First Table Toolkit

The First Table Toolkit is a system-agnostic kit for the most important session you run: the one before the campaign starts. A sharper pitch, better questions, stronger bonds, and the safety tools that keep a long campaign healthy.

The campaign pitch generator walks you from premise to stakes to hook in about ten minutes, producing the one-paragraph pitch you can read aloud to get buy-in. The twenty questions cover backstory, relationships, expectations, and the specific things players tend to leave unsaid until it's too late. The party bond prompts generate concrete connections that pay off across an entire campaign.

The included safety tools cover lines and veils, the X-card, open door, and in-session checkins, each with usage guidance. Together it's everything a GM needs to run a session zero that actually earns its name.

Pitch generator, twenty questions, bond prompts, safety tools. Plain text, no system assumptions.
