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 the Steves have a little chat about what it is that drives us to purchase games, and more games, and... Nothing too heavy, but we made ourselves think a little bit.

This week we're rejoined by previous guests Opti and Cliff from Fragging Unicorns Games (Episode 20)! But this time they're talking about the game that they've currently got on Kickstarter. It's a refresh/update of Robert Bohl's "Misspent Youth". A game about youthful people banding together to stand up to corrupt authority and see what they can accomplish without selling out their principals! Their version brings some small rules changes, along with some settings in which to play the game, so give a listen and learn about it!
Fine the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fraggingunicorns/misspent-youth-fall-in-love-not-in-line

Lead Rules Design on Gamma World 4e, Lead Writer for the 2e Ravenloft box set, plus worked on Fallout 3,4, & 76, a number of the Elder Scrolls games, including Lead Designer for Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
Usually I have some clever title or something, but this week, I think the above says enough! Any one of those credits are significant, but the whole list, plus more??!!??
We have a chat with game designer (now turned author) Bruce Nesmith about the twists and turns that a career in game design has brought him. From starting at TSR straight out of college, on through working at Bethesda Softworks, and now, to writing novels.
Bruce even shares the wild story of how he initially got recruited into the gaming industry!

This week we're getting the down-low on a game we initially discovered via our 'Game of the Week' segment!
This week the Steves are joined by Wade Dyer, the creator of Fragged Empire, and the rest of the Fragged line of RPGs to talk about his games, and the recently launched Kickstarter campaign for the second edition of his "flagship" game, Fragged Empire. At the time of recording, the campaign was roughly 200% funded, and frankly, it's just a beautiful world and setting that you really ought to check 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!
