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 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

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"!

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!)

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!
