This week we figured we'd do something just for fun, so we asked Chris Spivey to just come talk with us for a bit about whatever came up. So that's what happened. We talk gaming stuff, some of the business side, and the challenges that happen as a small publisher in the current state of the world. Also, Chris lets us in on a snippet about his new [REDACTED].
Enjoy!

We made it to 100!!! So to celebrate, we invited back a previous guest who likes just as varied a selection of games as we do, someone who writes about rpgs in lots of places, Egg Embry! Also, Egg has just released a cool little playtest for a game he's working on called Human... Almost. We chat about that, and assorted other things in our own Me and Steve way!
You can find Egg either on Facebook (Egg Embry) or Twitter (@eggembry), or in many places his work appears, from the d20 Network blog, to ENWorld, to Knights of the Dinner Table, and more.
You can also find his games on Drive-Thru (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/16964/Egg-Embry-Publishing?affiliate_id=2018399) or Itch.io (https://eggembry.itch.io/)

This week we've still got 2 Steves, but not both the normal ones! One Steve is on vacation, but the other Steve is joined by Steve Dee of Tin Star Games to talk about his current project, a game called "Partners". Along the way we have some interesting conversation about game design, and why system matters in games. It's a cool game, and some good, thought-provoking conversation.

This week we're rejoined by previous guests Opti and Cliff from Fragging Unicorns Games (Episode 20)! But this time they're talking about the game that they've currently got on Kickstarter. It's a refresh/update of Robert Bohl's "Misspent Youth". A game about youthful people banding together to stand up to corrupt authority and see what they can accomplish without selling out their principals! Their version brings some small rules changes, along with some settings in which to play the game, so give a listen and learn about it!
Fine the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fraggingunicorns/misspent-youth-fall-in-love-not-in-line

This week the Steves are joined by Wade Dyer, the creator of Fragged Empire, and the rest of the Fragged line of RPGs to talk about his games, and the recently launched Kickstarter campaign for the second edition of his "flagship" game, Fragged Empire. At the time of recording, the campaign was roughly 200% funded, and frankly, it's just a beautiful world and setting that you really ought to check out!
