103: Me and Steve LIVE! at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo!
Tuesday Oct 04, 2022
Tuesday Oct 04, 2022
This week we bring you the recording of a panel that we were asked to do at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo!
We talk about why as the GM, you should be the biggest fan of your players.The audio isn't the greatest, but given we sorta forgot to prepare for actually recording live, we didn't think it sounded too bad for setting a cell phone on the table between us, in a room with a PA system, and close to 200 video and arcade games!
So enjoy, and if you're able to do so, plan on joining us again there next year!
We would very much like to thank the staff and volunteers of the convention for putting on a wonderfully fun event!
Recorded at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo in Monroeville PA (just outside Pittsburgh) on Oct 2, 2022.
For more info on the convention, check out https://www.pghretrogaming.com/. RPGs, board games, retro-video-games, bands, and just fun!
