You can only list the players in your own session, not other sessions.

Use the gms_other_* set of functions.

The count includes you, yes.
Is there a way to retrieve player_id (or other type of data) from the players involved in a certain session?
I'm making a game using VS mode, so the players are included automatically, but I need to set a random start (it's a turn based game) at the beginning of the game, and I can't imagine the better way to built that system.

You could use the sessionID to randomize the start:
random_set_seed(gms_session_current_id())
// Use random(), choose(), irandom_range(), etc. to choose the start.
randomize()
