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 episode marks our 1 year anniversary! So, we thought it might be fun to take a look at the topic that we did our very first episode on, and see if our opinions have changed, or what we've learned.
So we talk about that, along with a little reflection on our journey through our first year of podcasting, and a little talk on our plans going forward.

On the heels of talking adventure writing, the Steves have a chat around that classic rpg adventure type, the dungeon crawl. We range into some talk about how to make them interesting, old-school vs. new-school design, and adversarial GMing!

What do we do when we play games? We go on adventures! And someone's got to write them. Often, people write their own, but this can be trickier than it seems. So we got veteran GM (and freelance writer) GM Hooly to come fill us in on some of his tricks and tips!

We roll dice all the time playing ttrpgs. But there are times when in might actually make it a better game overall if you put down the dice, and step back for a second. That's what we're talking about this week!

This week we're talking about Cursed Captains of Cthulhu, a brand new game that actually just wrapped up it's Kickstarter campaign. (But don't worry, they will be doing late pledges if you missed it!)
It's a game of swashbuckling adventure on the high seas in the golden age of piracy, but something sinister lurks beneath the waves!
Because pirates are cool, but pirates and wierd, creepy, tentacled monsters are even cooler!
We're joined by a member of the team producing it, Susanah Grace, Media and Marketing Director from Black Cats Gaming, who also happens to be the Art Director for the project, as well as one of the illustrators!
For more information about the game, you can check out the Kickstarter campaign, as well as check for updates, and late-pledge openings at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/287589860/cursed-captains-of-cthulhu

Another podcast on the d20 network is The Genesys Archives - https://anchor.fm/thegenesysarchives - and this week, we sat down with their GM, Jonathan K, do discuss the setting they've been playing in, called "The Unseen World" and how he went about building it.
This is another installment in our worldbuilding series, where we're trying to bring you different perspectives on how people build their game worlds, so you can use some of those concepts to build your own.
Of course, if you like the sound of The Unseen World, you can purchase the book Jonathan has already written for it, or his mini-supplement on his wealth rules on Drive-Thru RPG https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Jonathan%20Kruyer&affiliate_id=2018399

So, according to one Steve, there's been a debate going on Tic Tok around "playing D&D" diverging from the greater, overall TTRPG hobby. So we have a talk around our feelings regarding Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro, and some of there marketing, etc.
Also, it is worth noting that this discussion is not discussing Dungeons & Dragons as a game per se, but rather as a brand and an entity. It was also recorded 2 weeks the "Cloudsea" episode, which aired last week.

This week we're doing something we don't do a lot. Were talking about a product for 5e D&D. But this one is quite unique and different. It's the Cloudsea setting, currently on Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mcolon/cloudsea-a-primer-to-living-atop-the-clouds
And to make things even better, we're joined by the writer of the setting, Miguel Colon! He joins us to talk about some of the themes, the quite unique world, a couple of new races/species, and generally all about this very cool project!

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!
