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 have a discussion that starts out at the GM being a player too, and ends up with a bit of a talk about paid GMing and 'pay to play' games, and our thoughts around such!

Prompted by one of our wonderful Discord community members, this week we have a conversation around the never-ending debate of "what the rules say" vs "what's fun". Also, a little talk about bringing homebrew to the table as a player!

This week we have a couple hot-takes, and the subsequent rambling. From thoughts on Kickstarters, and the new MARVEL rpg, to some thoughts on game design and terminology, and even a power outage, we Steves give some opinions on some things.

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!

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

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!
