Me And Steve Talk RPG‘s
Wide-ranging tabletop role-playing discussion, a variety of guests, and occasional actual-play content. All done with a casual, conversational vibe. Everything from tips for playing and GMing, to rule system discussions, with plenty of whatever happens to cross our minds along the way! Are we ”experts”? No! Do we really love ttRPGs? HECK YEAH!!! To that end, we‘re just looking to start conversations to help folks better understand how they can have more fun playing make-believe, and chucking dice!

This week it's a conversation about stealing techniques from different sources, inspired by a wonderful little Canadian drama series called Cardinal. We have a bit of a chat around things like intertwining story elements, wrapping those elements up, and how sometimes looking at something different can help you learn new things!

When is it ok to go how zany in a game? And how do you "control" the table to keep the tone of the session where you'd like it?
That's exactly what we have a chat about in this week's episode!

This week I'm joined by JT Dimino for a chat inspired by a combination of a cheap Bluetooth speaker and a song by Megadeath!
We have a bit of a chat around making sure that you're getting the point you intend to across to your table while you're GMing! Also there's some talk about finding help and information in unexpected places.

Welcome to the finale for this short Monster of the Week game. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did playing it!
Terry was able to make this session, though Hagen wasn't feeling well and couldn't make it, but we continued on to finish this short story.
As folks are I'm sure familiar, sometimes everyone just can't make it, so we just played with who was there!
We recorded this in late spring of 2024, right before I had to switch shifts at work, so it was kind of a 'last hurrah' for the group that had dubbed themselves "Those Guys".
A big "Thank You!" to Ben for once again running the game, and to Terry, Eric, Hagen, and Steve for coming along for the fun! I hope you all enjoy!

We're back with a new episode following the fun that was GamerNationCon X!Since I'm sure most of you have heard Steve and I talk about how much fun it is, I thought it would be fun to hear about the experience from someone who had never been there before! Enter Joe. I met Joe at GNC, and he's part of a great actual-play on the Tabletop Empire YouTube channel called Dark Underworld.
So join us to hear a little about that, and a bunch about what you too could expect if you decide to join the fun that is GamerNationCon either next year, or in the future!
You can find Tabletop Empire's YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTabletopEmpire

Back to new content after a fun and exciting time at GamerNation Con!!!
Welcome to the second session of play for this short Monster of the Week game.
We join in as Oaken, Myles, and Marcus have just come upon the unconscious body of Hecate, the goddess of the crossroads! So what do you do when you find an injured goddess (who also happens to be a mentor of yours)?
As folks are I'm sure familiar, sometimes everyone just can't make it, so we just played with who was there!
We recorded this in late spring of 2024, right before I had to switch shifts at work, so it was kind of a 'last hurrah' for the group that had kind of dubbed themselves "Those Guys".
A big "Thank You!" to Ben for once again running the game, and to Terry, Eric, Hagen, and Steve for coming along for the fun! I hope you all enjoy!

Who are "Me and Steve"?
We are 2 friends who happen to share a first name, and a love of tabletop roleplaying games. This podcast is the result of many, many hours spent standing outside after game sessions just talking about gaming, but we decided to get a couple microphones, go inside, and record it, and then share it with the world!
So join us as we share thoughts, experiences, and interviews with people from across the gaming community, as well as some of our adventures in various games we enjoy!
