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!    Retrograde Gaming and Collectibles -- https://retrogradecollectibles.com/   d20 Network Spotlight -- Court Games     https://courtgamespod.com/     https://courtgamespod.com/L5RFnS/     https://cgapodcast.com/   *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, Rasmus R Byriel, 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 [email protected] 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/
