About this listen

 ​At Session Zero Heroes, we believe in the power of storytelling through tabletop roleplaying games and use a wide variety of systems to create these stories, which we share through the podcast medium. From hilarious to emotional, our stories and themes come in all shapes and sizes and help us to create amazing series and one-shots for your listening pleasure! Our primary anchor shows include Benders & Brews: An Avatar Legends Actual Play, which is the show that started it all! In this series, we jump into the world of Avatar the Last Airbender as a group of teens fight back rival tea shops and the occasional run-in with pirates and the Fire Nation in order to save their own tea shop: The Blissful Brew. We also host a Dungeons & Dragons series called Criminals of Isla Numus, where a handful of characters are thrown into a deity’s pocket dimension with the goal of making 1,000,000 gold in the space of roughly a year’s time. Will they be able to overcome a variety of obstacles and struggles and accomplish their task? Or will they fail and be trapped in this pocket world forever? In addition to these anchor shows, we create a variety of one-shots within different systems to share shorter tales of adventure and excitement.© 2024 Session Zero Heroes All Rights Reserved.

    Building Your Own D&D Class with Haven Joseph-Lyons
    Jul 17 2025

    Have you ever felt limited by the options available in official D&D content? Do you want to play a class based on a beloved piece of media or a character from your favorite book? Haven and Nick, from the Campaign Casters Podcast, felt the same way, and so they created the “Runecaster” class. Join us as Haven guides us on a journey through the process of making a homebrewed D&D class. The complexities of developing a new system for magic, and the playtesting they used to balance it all.
