We've all heard the term "meta-gaming" used, and usually with bad connotations, but what is it? And is it always bad? This week we Steves ponder this very thing!

We intended to have a talk about house rules, and we did, sorta, at times. Our brains got the best of us, and we went off down some deep tangents, but if you listen to us at all, you know, that's probably what we do best! Anyway, listen, and enjoy!d20 Network Spotlight: The Story Told -- https://thestorytold.libsyn.com/

Lead Rules Design on Gamma World 4e, Lead Writer for the 2e Ravenloft box set, plus worked on Fallout 3,4, & 76, a number of the Elder Scrolls games, including Lead Designer for Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
Usually I have some clever title or something, but this week, I think the above says enough! Any one of those credits are significant, but the whole list, plus more??!!??
We have a chat with game designer (now turned author) Bruce Nesmith about the twists and turns that a career in game design has brought him. From starting at TSR straight out of college, on through working at Bethesda Softworks, and now, to writing novels.
Bruce even shares the wild story of how he initially got recruited into the gaming industry!
Here's Bruce's current novel "Mischief Maker" on Amazon -- https://www.amazon.com/Mischief-Maker-Norse-Mythology-Reimagined/dp/195306213X/ref=sr_1_1

It occurred to us that we've never done an episode talking about combat in games! And we all know that's a HUGE part of what happens at many tables. So here's a conversation about some of our thoughts surrounding combat in RPGs, and maybe some ways to make it more interesting for everyone!

The old saying goes "A rolling stone gathers no moss." And that's as good a description on this conversation as I have!
From Steve unsettling himself writing an adventure, to cavemen rolling rocks down hills, to creative pressures, to taking a step back, this one meanders a little bit of everywhere!

This week the Steves have a talk about playing "sub-optimally"!
It's a conversation about a different way to look at playing rpgs, and just maybe a way you can add a different layer of enjoyment to your table.

This week the Steves are joined by Russ Morrissey, game designer, publisher, founder of EN World & EN Publishing, and host of Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk. We could talk with Russ for hours about many topics in gaming, but, today, we're talking with him about a Kickstarter project that will launch the same day that this episode goes live for his new line called "Level Up".
Level Up is an expanded take on the 5th Edition D&D that many gamers know. Russ and his team have taken on the whole game, and added lots of depth that some folk have found lacking, along with greatly expanding the 'exploration pillar' of the original game, which many people find somewhat lacking in the original version.
*** NOTE: as of recording, the KS should launch at noon EST (US) 10/5/21 ***
