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!

To follow a bit on our cyberpunk genre theme, this week Steve has a conversation with Opti from the Neo-Anarchist podcast, and Mr. Johnson from The Arcology podcast. Despite some technomancer interference, we start by talking about Shadowrun, the classic cyberpunk/fantasy game that is near and dear to both their hearts! From there, we talk about some of the projects of their gaming company, Fragging Unicorn Games, including their minis skirmish game, Gangs of the Undercity, and a upcoming RPG set in the same world! And we finish by talking with Mr. Johnson about a pretty cool little side project he has going!
Our d20 network shout-out this week is Shared Sagas https://sharedsagas.podbean.com/ . They're a fun group of Aussies, sharing actual plays in a variety of game systems.
As I said, there's lots of links this week!

We're finally doing it! We got through the 450+ page, new version of the R.Talsorian classic! In all fairness, yes, we both were/are fans of CP2020, so that is definitely going to flavor our opinions of this game, but we're going to do our best to give you an honest opinion. This is a big book folks, so it took us a while to go through, so this is part 1, with part 2 to come next week!

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!
