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 talk about those feelings of burn-out that creep in on many of us from time to time. It happens, and sometimes, maybe just talking about it a little helps...
Short Episode this week due in-part to tech issues (Now resolved, I believe. I have opened up the computer and disconnected the offending audio components!)

One Steve, plus a guest this week! I'm joined by YouTuber XP Lovecat to have a talk about the benefits that we can gain from playing a variety of different games and systems.

This week we're doing another "system overview" episode, and this time it's the "Year Zero Engine" that powers many games from Free League, including Tales From The Loop, Coriolis, Mutant Year Zero, Vaesen, Alien, Twilight 2000, and Blade Runner, to name a few. To do so, we're joined by veteran Danish gamer and GM Jacob Sorensen. So sit back, grab a drink, and enjoy as we talk some cool Swedish game design.

This week we talk Wizz and Colt, two of the organizers for our local gaming convention, the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo (or PGX for short).
It's held Sept 30th - October 1st, 2023 at the Monroville Convention Center, just outside of Pittsburgh PA.
You'll have to listen for the details, but let's just say that it's a really fun time of table-top and video gaming, cosplay, music, and just nerdy, geeky culture in general. And of course, you'll be able to find both of us Steves at the show!

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!
