Many GM's like to offer a free session zero to their players. They might do this so they aren't charged for going over table information without playing, or maybe they like to give players a taste of the game before they commit to buying.

No matter your reason, how does a GM set up a free Session Zero on StartPlaying?

Steps to Set Up a Free Session Zero

1. Have your players sign up at the regular session price

2. In your Listings, click on your Adventure

3. Under Players, click the 3 dots on the right side of the screen

4. Click Change booking price

5. Change the booking price to $0

6. Click Save
​

7. Repeat for each player in your game


Do I change the Price back after Session Zero?

Yes, after the free Session Zero you will need to change the price back to the regular booking price. It will not change back until you change it.

Repeat the steps above, but instead of setting the price to $0, set the price back to your original booking price πŸ‘



Can I use a Free Session Zero with Early Bird Booking?

Early Bird Booking gives the first 2 players to sign up for your game a 50% discount on the first paid session.

If you do a free Session Zero, it won't impact Early Bird Booking because Session Zero will not be a paid session.

Early Bird Booking will be applied to Session 1, once you change the price back to the regular booking price.
