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're joined by Alan Bahr of Gallant Knight Games to talk about his (still active at the time of publishing, but barely) Kickstarter for Tiny Cyberpunk, which is built off their Tiny D6 engine.It's a fun chat, and we learn about a system that we weren't really familiar with, so give a listen!

Welcome to our 150th Episode!!!
This week we're joined by a friend, and owner of one of our local game shops Alex. You've heard Alex with us before, talking about the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo (PGX) which he's also one of the organizers of. But this week he joins us to give some rather candid thoughts and opinions around the realities of running a gaming shop. This episode is a bit longer than usual, but we felt like it was time to give the view from yet another side of this hobby that we all love, so listen, and enjoy! And don't forget, support your local game shops!!! If you'd like to check out Alex's online shop, you can find it here!

Big news!!! Learned literally as we were sitting down to record this, Studio 404 plans to release "Anarchy in Dragon City" on Cyber Monday!!!
We were just going to have a fun chat with Brett Bowen from Studio 404 because he's cool and fun, but then he told us that their long-term project, Anarchy in Dragon City for the Genesys RPG is due to release less than a week after this podcast. Both us Steves have had the pleasure of helping playtest this setting with Brett, and as you'll hear, we both really enjoyed it. As for what it is, well, listen to find out more, but lets say that if Shadowrun, RIFTS, 2000AD/Judge Dredd, and Leverage had a baby it'd probably look a bit like this! Check this out folks, this is cool as hell! Studio 404 Links:

This one starts off pointed in a very specific direction, but in true Steve fashion, we hijack, and sidetrack ourselves, but still somehow stay remarkably adjacent to the theme behind the topic.Sound confusing? It should make sense if you listen to it! (We hope!)

This week we've got all kinds of fun! We talk with the creator of a cool new game, we grant honorary "Steve-dom" to a very cool guest, and we just have some good fun chatting!We're joined by Clifton Lambert of Fragging Unicorn Games to talk about his current project that's on Kickstarter called HellSlayers. You'll have to listen to get more details, but HellSlayers is a (mostly) Mork Borg powered game, inspired by the classic video game Doom, as well as elements of Roguelike, and a few other things! Folks, it's cool as hell! Links:

This week it's a kinda quick chat around something that I thought was worth bringing up. Are we "accidentally gatekeeping with people new to gaming, or our favorite games? It's a kinda "food for thought" episode!

This week we're joined by a local (to us) creator that I met at PGX. Anthony "LibrarianNPC" DeMinico joins us to talk about his current Kickstarter for a really cool game called "Weeaboomers", which is a game for those of us who fall into the currently-way-too-middle-aged fans of 80's, 90's, and early '00's anime! You'll have to listen to get all the details, but I'll just say this game sounds awesome!Links for Anthony and his creations: Weeaboomers Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/librarianpc/weeaboomers/description

Ok folks, first off, apologies for the audio on this one, between illnesses and con-brain-fog, We didn't realize the audio wasn't up to usual standard until it was too late to record again. But anyways, This week Steve talks to Steve about the con that was PGX 2023! That's pretty much it! Enjoy! And to any and all of you that I may have met there, I hope you had as good a time as I did!

No, no, no! It's not what you thing if you hear those words from us! Or at least not mostly. This week we're joined another person from the d20 Network, JT Dimino (co-host of Primed by Cortex) for a discussion that started around "player knowledge vs character knowledge". From that jumping off point we kind of meander on about how we deal with things when the players have things on the sheet that they simply don't have the ability (or willingness) to roleplay.
And then we try to convince each other to spend money in "Game of the 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!
