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!

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!

It occurred to us that we've never done an episode talking about combat in games! And we all know that's a HUGE part of what happens at many tables. So here's a conversation about some of our thoughts surrounding combat in RPGs, and maybe some ways to make it more interesting for everyone!

This week we're chatting with Dustin from The Staggering Dragon podcast about those curveballs that get thrown around the gaming table. Given that his table seems to trade fairly heavily in them, it seemed like a good topic to get his insight on. Plus it was just a really fun gaming-centric conversation, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

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!
