Me And Steve Talk RPG's

This week I'm joined by JT Dimino for a chat inspired by a combination of a cheap Bluetooth speaker and a song by Megadeath! We have a bit of a chat around making sure that you're getting the point you intend to across to your table while you're GMing! Also there's some talk about finding help and information in unexpected places.

Welcome to the finale for this short Monster of the Week game. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did playing it! Terry was able to make this session, though Hagen wasn't feeling well and couldn't make it, but we continued on to finish this short story.    As folks are I'm sure familiar, sometimes everyone just can't make it, so we just played with who was there! We recorded this in late spring of 2024, right before I had to switch shifts at work, so it was kind of a 'last hurrah' for the group that had dubbed themselves "Those Guys".   A big "Thank You!" to Ben for once again running the game, and to Terry, Eric, Hagen, and Steve for coming along for the fun! I hope you all enjoy!        Monster of the Week from Evil Hat Productions -- https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/2152/evil-hat-productions/category/33658/monster-of-the-week?affiliate_id=2018399   *We have an affiliate link with Drive-Thru RPG.  All this does, is give us a small percentage of your purchase cost on Drive-Thru as a "referral bonus".  It does not cost you, as a consumer, anything extra.*   We greatly appreciate the donations of our Patreon supporters: Eric Witman, Jeff McKinney, Joshua Gopal-Boyd, Dave Smith, Brett Bowen, Streety, Nate Doverspike, and Dec!  Y'all make keeping this going possible!   As always folks, have fun, be kind to each other, and go play some rpgs!   Additional audio and background sourced from Tabletop Audio -- https://tabletopaudio.com/   Join the conversation on our Discord! Me And Steve RPG Discord  https://discord.gg/5wWNcYW You can reach us at meandsteverpg@gmail.com On Facebook as Me and Steve RPG Podcast On BlueSky @meandsteverpg.bsky.social Our Drive-Thru RPG affiliate link https://www.drivethrurpg.com/?affiliate_id=2018399 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/MeandSteveTalkRPGs We are proud members of the d20 Radio Network! http://www.d20radio.com/main/

We're back with a new episode following the fun that was GamerNationCon X! Since I'm sure most of you have heard Steve and I talk about how much fun it is, I thought it would be fun to hear about the experience from someone who had never been there before!  Enter Joe. I met Joe at GNC, and he's part of a great actual-play on the Tabletop Empire YouTube channel called Dark Underworld. So join us to hear a little about that, and a bunch about what you too could expect if you decide to join the fun that is GamerNationCon either next year, or in the future!   You can find Tabletop Empire's YouTube channel here:  https://www.youtube.com/@TheTabletopEmpire And the playlist for the Dark Underworld actual play here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ4oXimUNtY&list=PLdMNhlrU2I2YDtjxig9wY8zJNRx5uFRES   d20 Network Spotlight:  How We Roll --  https://www.youtube.com/@HowWeRollGaming https://open.spotify.com/show/2tGku2g1IzPTYCNuilCsML?si=5c6f451974c94ec3   Game of the Week:      Steve S: Were-Woofs! -- https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/516434/were-woofs?affiliate_id=2018399      Joe:  Fiasco -- https://bullypulpitgames.com/products/fiasco   *We have an affiliate link with Drive-Thru RPG.  All this does, is give us a small percentage of your purchase cost on Drive-Thru as a "referral bonus".  It does not cost you, as a consumer, anything extra.*   We greatly appreciate the donations of our Patreon supporters: Eric Witman, Jeff McKinney, Joshua Gopal-Boyd, Dave Smith, Brett Bowen, Streety, Nate Doverspike, and Dec!  Y'all make keeping this going possible!   As always folks, have fun, be kind to each other, and go play some rpgs!   Join the conversation on our Discord! Me And Steve RPG Discord  https://discord.gg/5wWNcYW You can reach us at meandsteverpg@gmail.com On Facebook as Me and Steve RPG Podcast On BlueSky @meandsteverpg.bsky.social Our Drive-Thru RPG affiliate link https://www.drivethrurpg.com/?affiliate_id=2018399 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/MeandSteveTalkRPGs We are proud members of the d20 Radio Network! http://www.d20radio.com/main/    

Back to new content after a fun and exciting time at GamerNation Con!!! Welcome to the second session of play for this short Monster of the Week game. We join in as Oaken, Myles, and Marcus have just come upon the unconscious body of Hecate, the goddess of the crossroads! So what do you do when you find an injured goddess (who also happens to be a mentor of yours)?   As folks are I'm sure familiar, sometimes everyone just can't make it, so we just played with who was there! We recorded this in late spring of 2024, right before I had to switch shifts at work, so it was kind of a 'last hurrah' for the group that had kind of dubbed themselves "Those Guys".   A big "Thank You!" to Ben for once again running the game, and to Terry, Eric, Hagen, and Steve for coming along for the fun!

     Shopping, it's perhaps the most low-key divisive thing we commonly do in games. Some love doing it, some hate doing it, and some don't care much either way. So how do you keep the whole table interested? Or how do you keep you interested?  That's kinda what we chat around in this episode. Also worth noting, we're likely going to skip a week or 2 with releases, as I'm madly trying to work extra OT at work, prepare stuff to take with me to GamerNation Con, get things taken care of in regular life before I go off on the trip, and so on.   GamerNation Con X tickets are on sale now! April 3-6 in Dallas (North Plano) TX!  https://tabletop.events/conventions/gamer-nation-con-x Hotel block info: https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/find-hotels/select-roomrate?fromRedirect=true&qSrt=sBR&qIta=99801505&icdv=99801505&qSlH=DFWAN&qCiD=02&qCiMy=032025&qCoD=07&qCoMy=032025&qGrpCd=GNC&setPMCookies=true&qSHBrC=EX&qDest=3340%20Central%20Expressway,%20Plano,%20TX,%20US&srb_u=1&qRmFltr=   Game of the Week      Steve G:  Karum Station Blues -- https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/513083/karum-station-blues?src=hottest_small&affiliate_id=2018399        Steve S:  Onyx Sky -- https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/366626/onyx-sky?src=FeaturedProduct&featuredProduct=true&featuredFromHomePage=true&oneTimeCode=a013f9ba059c28ade7ec379b2b303ab85d104eb1&affiliate_id=2018399   *We have an affiliate link with Drive-Thru RPG.  All this does, is give us a small percentage of your purchase cost on Drive-Thru as a "referral bonus".  It does not cost you, as a consumer, anything extra.*   We greatly appreciate the donations of our Patreon supporters: Eric Witman, Jeff McKinney, Joshua Gopal-Boyd, Dave Smith, Brett Bowen, Streety, Nate Doverspike, and Dec!  Y'all make keeping this going possible!   As always folks, have fun, be kind to each other, and go play some rpgs!   Join the conversation on our Discord! Me And Steve RPG Discord  https://discord.gg/5wWNcYW You can reach us at meandsteverpg@gmail.com On Facebook as Me and Steve RPG Podcast On BlueSky @meandsteverpg.bsky.social Our Drive-Thru RPG affiliate link https://www.drivethrurpg.com/?affiliate_id=2018399 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/MeandSteveTalkRPGs We are proud members of the d20 Radio Network! http://www.d20radio.com/main/

   Let it never be said we don't listen to our listeners! This week we answer a question a listener posted on our Discord (see link at the top of the page, or further down in the notes here) expand a bit on a concept we've mentioned a few times on the show. That being "Anthology Campaigns".

Welcome to the conclusion of our little play-through of Havoc Brigade! by Grant Howitt!  Does our misfit band succeed on their mission, or do they even remember what it was? Do they finally prove that "yeeting" goblins does in fact solve problems? You'll have to listen to find out, but I'm pretty sure you'll find some laughs along the way!   Welcome to Havoc Brigade!, a game written by Grant Howitt, and available here -- https://gshowitt.itch.io/havoc-brigade Admittedly, this game does seem to feel a bit more lively and fun when played around an actual table, and it one continuous session. That said, we all had fun playing it, and I hope you all enjoy listening to our madness! It's also worth noting that we did take this rather "cartoony" quite quickly, and it certainly does not have to be played that way. However, as much as we mention this game, we also felt like yall should hear us play it!   The Cast:      "New Steve" -- 'Sergent' Shivvit Deadeye, half-orc infiltrator      Ben -- Moontoof, Wyrdforest Shaman      Terry -- The Goblins (Stinky Pete, Stab, Snot, Brain, Bang, and Gobblit)      Eric -- The Ox      Hagan -- Profanius, devout Paladin of Bog-Al-Karukk      "Old Steve" -- GM   We greatly appreciate the donations of our Patreon supporters: Eric Witman, Jeff McKinney, Joshua Gopal-Boyd, Dave Smith, Brett Bowen, Streety, Nate Doverspike, and Dec!  Y'all make keeping this going possible!   As always folks, have fun, be kind to each other, and go play some rpgs!   Join the conversation on our Discord! Me And Steve RPG Discord  https://discord.gg/5wWNcYW You can reach us at meandsteverpg@gmail.com On Facebook as Me and Steve RPG Podcast On Twitter @AndRPGs Our Drive-Thru RPG affiliate link https://www.drivethrurpg.com/?affiliate_id=2018399 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/MeandSteveTalkRPGs We are proud members of the d20 Radio Network! http://www.d20radio.com/main/

This week we're actually talking about a novel, not a gaming book, but it's one written by none other than one of the founders of the d20 Network, "GM Dave" Villegas! Dave has written a novel called "The Circadian Anomaly" and is currently in the midst of a Kickstarter to help get it published in both print, and audio-book form.      The book has deep rpg roots, being based off a project of Jay Little's, and also draws inspiration from the d20 Network community. It's a bit "thriller", a little "sci-fi", and honestly sounds pretty dang cool to us!   Find it on Kickstarter!  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bigyoda/the-circadian-anomaly?ref=android_project_share   d20 Network Spotlight:  The Genesys Archives -- https://anchor.fm/thegenesysarchives   Game of the Week:      Dave V: Azul -- https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/230802/azul      Steve G: Toasterbot -- https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/482901/toasterbot?affiliate_id=2018399      Steve S: Between Clouds -- https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/439665/Between-Clouds?affiliate_id=2018399   *We have an affiliate link with Drive-Thru RPG.  All this does, is give us a small percentage of your purchase cost on Drive-Thru as a "referral bonus".  It does not cost you, as a consumer, anything extra.*   We greatly appreciate the support and donations of our Patreon supporters: Eric Witman, Jeff McKinney, Joshua Gopal-Boyd, Dave Smith, Brett Bowen, Streety, and Nate Doverspike!  Y'all make keeping this going possible!   As always folks, have fun, be kind to each other, and go play some rpgs!   Join the conversation on our Discord! Me And Steve RPG Discord  https://discord.gg/5wWNcYW You can reach us at meandsteverpg@gmail.com On Facebook as Me and Steve RPG Podcast On Twitter @AndRPGs Our Drive-Thru RPG affiliate link https://www.drivethrurpg.com/?affiliate_id=2018399 Support us on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/MeandSteveTalkRPGs We are proud members of the d20 Radio Network! http://www.d20radio.com/main/
