  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! It's Mork-Borg-y deliciousness, served up with a giant helping of pre-historic giants! Y'all, this is too cool to not check out.

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.  He and his team, which includes Logan, co-host of The Story Told podcast, have taken their love of Tribe 8 and meshed it with the modern Forged in the Dark mechanics to bring this deep, rich setting back to life! It's dark, supernatural, post-apocalyptic fun, waiting to be experienced by anyone who dares. Currently, they're running a Kickstarter campaign to fund the final art and logistics of the game, and Wil and I had a wonderful chat about it, so listen, enjoy, and, if you're so inclined, support!   Tribes in the Dark links:   Kickstarter:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dp9/tribes-in-the-dark-roleplaying-game?   Wil's blog:  https://aggregatecognizance.com/   Dream Pod 9 website:  https://ww.dp9.com/   Tribes in the Dark discord:  https://discord.gg/zKnT9jReq2   d20 Network Spotlight:  The Story Told -- https://thestorytold.libsyn.com/   Game of the Week:      Steve S:  The Devil's Ledger -- https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/535084/the-devil-s-ledger?affiliate_id=2018399      Wil:  The Last Caravan -- https://www.myth.works/products/the-last-caravan-core-rulebook   *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, 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 YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpps0vVXLSGrOdM8i4ntFiQ 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/ d20 Radio Discord Server:  https://discord.gg/aj3JdFtSM8 #ttrpg #tabletoproleplaying #indieRPG #FitD    

It's that time of year again (well actually a little late, but we cover that early on!) The 2025 edition of the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo is upon us, and it's happening October 3-5th at the Monroville Convention Center, just outside of Pittsburgh proper. This week I'm joined by Wizz, one of the organizers of the show to have a chat about all the fun and coolness that you can expect to find if you should choose to come to the show!  And, if you look around enough, or ask a few folks, you could probably find me as well!

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.   d20 Network Spotlight: Eberron Renewed -- https://zencastr.com/Eberron-Renewed   Game of the Week:      Steve S:  Backwater -- https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/331765/backwater-core-southern-gothic-horror-tabletop-roleplaying?affiliate_id=2018399      Steve G:  Raptor Ruckus -- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/epicrpgs/raptor-ruckus-rpg-0   *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, 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 YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpps0vVXLSGrOdM8i4ntFiQ 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/ d20 Radio Discord Server:  https://discord.gg/aj3JdFtSM8 #ttrpg #tabletoproleplaying #indieRPG
