This week the Steves have a chat around our preferences regarding "generic" or "universal" systems, versus systems dedicated to a particular genre/setting. Along the way we discuss our feelings on the cyberpunk genre, and also some thoughts on personal nostalgia.

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.

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.
