Our episode 7 is way better than anyone else's episode 7.

Alright, guys. We have a cause. An enemy to rally against. We need to group up and take down the Hearty Dice Friends podcast- but take them down through 5-star ratings and positive reviews on iTunes! They'll never see it coming.

In all seriousness, in this episode we talk about about kicking players out of the group, lightsabers, Green Lantern rings, and whether to feel bad about railroading. (Railroading isn't always bad.) I also bring up a couple noteworthy podcasts (which I'll link below) that you should listen to.

The Dragon's Hoard is still kicking, so please send us your suggestions! Items and questions can always be submitted to InterPartyConflict@gmail.com so we can discuss them on future episodes. Also, I've gotten a few requests for our RSS feed address (which is something new to me- I'm still figuring all of this out) so I'll link that here:

Thanks for listening!
