Me And Steve Talk RPG‘s
Wide-ranging tabletop role-playing discussion, a variety of guests, and occasional actual-play content. All done with a casual, conversational vibe. Everything from tips for playing and GMing, to rule system discussions, with plenty of whatever happens to cross our minds along the way! Are we ”experts”? No! Do we really love ttRPGs? HECK YEAH!!! To that end, we‘re just looking to start conversations to help folks better understand how they can have more fun playing make-believe, and chucking dice!

As has become our tradition, around the Christmas/New Years time, we drop a little mini-episode, just to let all of you know a little of what's going on in the background, what plans are for the future, and so on. Usually we drop this between Christmas and New years, but time got away from us this year, so you're getting it as the first episode of the new year!We'll be back to the chaos that you all expect next week! Thank You all!

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.

As a sort of 'closer' to Spooky-month, we sat down to chat with Bridgett Jeffries about just what it is that makes horror gaming fun for those who enjoy it.For those who don't know, Bridgett is an amazing, and amazingly fun person. She's a podcast host, streamer, writer, and a community ambassador for Chaosium.
We talk about what got us started in gaming, how we got interested in horror gaming specifically, some tips on running horror games, and have a whole lotta laughs in the process.
*ALSO CORRECTION* The Delta Green scenario talked about is actually called "Last Things Last" and is included in the Delta Green quickstart, which is called "Need to Know".
If you're interested in hearing or seeing more of Bridgett's work she can be found on the Miskatonic University Podcast -- http://www.mu-podcast.com/ , or links to her streaming, etc can be found at the Symphony Entertainment website -- https://www.symphonyentertainment.com/ . And, work she's done for the Miskatonic Repository can be found here https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Bridgett%20Jeffries&?affiliate_id=2018399

Who are "Me and Steve"?
We are 2 friends who happen to share a first name, and a love of tabletop roleplaying games. This podcast is the result of many, many hours spent standing outside after game sessions just talking about gaming, but we decided to get a couple microphones, go inside, and record it, and then share it with the world!
So join us as we share thoughts, experiences, and interviews with people from across the gaming community, as well as some of our adventures in various games we enjoy!
