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 I'm joined by 2 parts of the creative team behind Duginthroat Divided, which is an adventure location designed for Old School Essentials. It's a modular, drop-in location for lots and lots of old-school adventuring fun, and would easily port to any OSR system of your choice! It's currently on Kickstarter, though if you're coming to this later, it will release in the usual places as well!

Step back for a moment to 1993, and remember the awe that filled your mind when you got those first glimpses of that ill-fated park, hidden out on an island. I know I'm not the only one who's wanted to explore that as an RPG playground, and until now, the choices have been rather limited. But the ttRPG world is ever-adapting, and this week we bring you a conversation with Zac Goins, the lead on a project called Raptor Ruckus! It's Mork-Borg-y deliciousness, served up with a giant helping of pre-historic giants!
Y'all, this is too cool to not check out.

This week we're joined by Wil, lead designer on a team that's re-imagining an older game, called Tribe 8, published by Dream Pod 9. He and his team, which includes Logan, co-host of The Story Told podcast, have taken their love of Tribe 8 and meshed it with the modern Forged in the Dark mechanics to bring this deep, rich setting back to life! It's dark, supernatural, post-apocalyptic fun, waiting to be experienced by anyone who dares.
Currently, they're running a Kickstarter campaign to fund the final art and logistics of the game, and Wil and I had a wonderful chat about it, so listen, enjoy, and, if you're so inclined, support!

It's that time of year again (well actually a little late, but we cover that early on!)The 2025 edition of the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo is upon us, and it's happening October 3-5th at the Monroville Convention Center, just outside of Pittsburgh proper.
This week I'm joined by Wizz, one of the organizers of the show to have a chat about all the fun and coolness that you can expect to find if you should choose to come to the show! And, if you look around enough, or ask a few folks, you could probably find me as well! (Look for the short, wide guy in the Van Halen print Hawaiian shirt).

We persevered through some technical difficulties to get y'all this one!
Metagaming can cause some controversy in the community, and while it's hard to say when it becomes "bad", today we discuss a situation where it definitely had, along with some thoughts about how to deal with it, and honestly why we feel this situation had just gone too far for the health of the game table.

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!
