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 my friend Brett to have a chat about "Rule Zero", or "The Golden Rule of RPGs" or whatever you may know it as. As with any Me and Steve conversation, it wanders and meanders, but it was certainly a fun one to have!

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! I...
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.

It's dark, supernatural, post-apocalyptic fun, waiting to be experienced by anyone who da...

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.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
