This week the Steves are joined by Micah (also known as FatCrab) from the Table/Flip podcast to talk about creating and running settings, and how to appropriately set your players expectations for those settings. Most of this talk centers around the Genesys system and settings for it, but as with the discussion of canon last week, the principals apply to pretty much any game!

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!

This week the Steves have a little chat about what it is that drives us to purchase games, and more games, and... Nothing too heavy, but we made ourselves think a little bit.

This week we're chatting with Dustin from The Staggering Dragon podcast about those curveballs that get thrown around the gaming table. Given that his table seems to trade fairly heavily in them, it seemed like a good topic to get his insight on. Plus it was just a really fun gaming-centric conversation, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

This week we welcome back our Aussie friend GM Hooly (of The Forge podcast) to have a talk that was suppose to be about playing and running IP based RPGs. We actually did talk a bit about that, but in true Me and Steve fashion, we diverge all over the place, but still stay (sorta) on-topic-ish.
We chat a bit about some of the famous properties that have been made into games, some of which have worked very well, and others that have not.
For everyone's benefit, the Wiki article we mention during the show is this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tabletop_role-playing_games
It's far from comprehensive, but it's still a rather interesting list!
As for GM Hooly, you can find him via https://forgegenesys.com/

This week we're getting under the hood, and looking a little bit at the "nuts & bolts" of games. And to assist in this we're joined by Jay Little, who was the system designer for (among other things) Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3rd Ed, FFG Star Wars/Genesys, and also, the 2d20 system for Modiphious, as well as X-Wing miniatures 1ed, and numerous other games.
As always, it's a bit of a rambling discussion, but I hope you all have as much fun listening in, as we did recording!
For more info on Jay, you can visit his website, PaintedThumb.com -- http://www.paintedthumb.com/
