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!

This week we figured we'd do something just for fun, so we asked Chris Spivey to just come talk with us for a bit about whatever came up. So that's what happened. We talk gaming stuff, some of the business side, and the challenges that happen as a small publisher in the current state of the world. Also, Chris lets us in on a snippet about his new [REDACTED].
Enjoy!

We made it to 100!!! So to celebrate, we invited back a previous guest who likes just as varied a selection of games as we do, someone who writes about rpgs in lots of places, Egg Embry! Also, Egg has just released a cool little playtest for a game he's working on called Human... Almost. We chat about that, and assorted other things in our own Me and Steve way!
You can find Egg either on Facebook (Egg Embry) or Twitter (@eggembry), or in many places his work appears, from the d20 Network blog, to ENWorld, to Knights of the Dinner Table, and more.
You can also find his games on Drive-Thru (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/16964/Egg-Embry-Publishing?affiliate_id=2018399) or Itch.io (https://eggembry.itch.io/)

What happens when our friend, and fellow d20 Network 'caster Sugi stops by to chat with the Steves? We end up talking a LONG time! Of course, we're talking painting minis, which one Steve has never done, one Steve has done quite a bit, and Sugi does A LOT! There's a good bit of "how to get started" some general Q&A, and a little more technical stuff as well. We have a lot of fun, and Sugi shares a lot of insight from his 20+ years of painting experience.
By the way, Sugi hosts a (currently on hiatus) podcast on the d20 Network called Squad-Tactica ( https://open.spotify.com/show/4jJs4hS87TLPJlwzd3uw5w ) which is all about painting and Kill Team. There's a lot of really entertaining content there, even if he's currently taking a break from creating new shows.

This week the Steves have a chat about planning and prepping for a new campaign. We discuss a bit of our processes, weaknesses, and fears around starting new campaigns, be they in systems we're long-familiar with, ones we're new to, or somewhere in between. (Yes, we get into more Star Wars talk!)

In honor of "Back to School" season here in the US, the Steves have a chat around some of the ways we've found to stretch our gaming dollars (or maybe it's just a way to be able to buy more games...).

Links to their social media can be found at the top of that page.

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!
