Part 3 of our little series here! This week we have a conversation around character death, and ways it can be handled in games. Also some talk around the (perhaps infamous) safety request of character death being taken off the table.

This week the Steves have a discussion about cheating in ttrpgs. Brought on by a situation in one of Steve's games, we chat a little about what it can be, and how to handle it. Not by any means a definitive thing, but some food for thought.d20 Network spotlight: The Story Told -- https://thestorytold.libsyn.com/

So the other weekend I was hanging out at a local game shop and got into a conversation about Cyberpunk Red. The other person was saying that they felt like the game almost seemed to want to be run more adversarially than they were used to running their usual game (PF1). Which of course led to conversation, and then to conversation between we Steves.So "Listen Up, You Primitive Screwheads!" as we have a little chat around this topic, and a few other things cyberpunk-ish!d20 Network Spotlight: Genesys Archive -- https://anchor.fm/thegenesysarchives

This week it's a Patreon-supporter question based episode! (Thanks Jesse!) One of our supporters asked for our thoughts on how to use super-hero tropes and concepts to improve F-20 fantasy games, so we Steves sat down and had a chat about it!

This week we bring you a conversation around rules and creativity. Do rules restrict creativity, encourage it, or have nothing to do with it? We also get into a little bit of talk about if we're playing (and thinking) with the the rules as written, or rules as remembered!
