The Steves have a chat about their recent experience playtesting the upcoming Anarchy in Dragon City with Brett from Studio 404 ( https://www.studio404games.com/ ). This leads to thoughts about the how and why playtesting is done, along with a couple other tangents about assorted things!

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!

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!

Sometimes we all just need to remember that no matter how seriously we take our games, they are after all just games, and we're doing it to have fun.
So we have a little talk about that.
Also, on the news front, Me and Steve have launched our Patreon site, for any of those of you who might want to give us a little something to help out with hosting, and other production costs. We're not putting anything you already get behind a paywall, or anything like that, but there are a few things you'll get access to, should you feel gracious enough to kick us a few dollars every month! You can find that page here. https://www.patreon.com/MeandSteveTalkRPGs

We all know that feeling. You're running a game, and it's just not matching up with the time you want it to take. But how do you fix that?
That's why we're having a conversation with Justin Ecock, from the Terrible Warriors podcast. He's had lots of experience making games fit into the amount of time slotted, both for his podcast, as well as conventions, and even doing events at restaurants! Se we have a talk around different tricks and tips he's learned over the years to help make his games come in "on time"!

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!
