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!

Because you can never have enough Star Wars RPG content (and because Steve just couldn't get left out of the conversation), Hooly is back with another episode talking about running games in the Star Wars universe!
We talk a little bit about using other systems to play in Star Wars, and some talk about what makes a story feel like Star Wars.
Because it gets mentioned a time or 2, and because it's such a great resource, here's a link to Wookiepedia. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page

This week we've still got 2 Steves, but not both the normal ones! One Steve is on vacation, but the other Steve is joined by Steve Dee of Tin Star Games to talk about his current project, a game called "Partners". Along the way we have some interesting conversation about game design, and why system matters in games. It's a cool game, and some good, thought-provoking conversation.

We intended to have a talk about house rules, and we did, sorta, at times. Our brains got the best of us, and we went off down some deep tangents, but if you listen to us at all, you know, that's probably what we do best!

We all know it, those jitters, that uncertainty if we did a good enough job running the game, did everyone have enough fun? Oh, yeah, and the things we get wrong, what if they know? Anxiety over GMing is real, and I think, normal, but to talk about it, and maybe help us all deal with it a little bit, we're joined by Amber (@Rocketorca) from Geekspective, who does a lot in our little gaming world, from podcasting to graphic design, and al kinds of other cool stuff! So join us for a cool and fun conversation about some ways to deal with stressing yourself out!

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!
