We're going to build a west marches campaign together, step by step, in this series. For this video, I'm focusing on everything I do before session 0.

Don't worry if the "plot" of the campaign seems unclear. It is supposed to be since we have no play backstories. Next session, when we cover campaign story building, it should be refined.
