Let's yell about Episode 57!

Thanks for checking out this week's episode! I think this was a great episode- we cover something that I am passionate about (alignment), but it doesn't go so far as to simply be a big rant. I think there's a lot to say about alignment and a lot of good arguments on both sides, so it never hurts to clear up a bit of misinformation and such.

Congratulations to this week's Chapel on the Cliffs winner, ohthatssketchy! If you want to enter the drawing, just send us an e-mail at InterPartyConflict@gmail.com with "Chapel on the Cliffs" in the subject line! It's really that easy!

Remember to stop on by our Patreon if you haven't yet (Patreon.com/interpartyconflict). We've got some fun rewards on there, so check them out and see if anything interests you!

And as usual, check out the other Critnation Fellowship members- Crit Academy and D&D Character Lab for more podcasts, and Goblin Stone, Loresmyth, and Aurican's Lair for some great adventures!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Episode 57: Yelling About Alignment (Note: For the first day iTunes had the episode title as "Neutrally Aligned"; that was an alternate title I forgot to clear out of the file's details before uploading, and although I fixed it on Soundcloud, it took iTunes about a day to fix the title.)

Episode 55, coming at you!

Hello once again from Jeff and Gabe at Inter-Party Conflict!

This week's episode deals with a debate that's been going on for decades: Rule of Cool vs. Rules As Written. Our discussion kind of takes a roundabout way all around different facets of the issue, but there's lots of opinions on when you should stick to each, and all opinions have their merit. Hopefully this episode we're able to get our opinions across in a meaningful way.

This week is also the second week of our giveaway of Goblin Stone's great adventure module, Chapel on the Cliffs! This week's winner, Kim H, should receive an e-mail from Benoit, the writer, very soon. Congrats, Kim! If you want to join the drawing, just send us an e-mail at InterPartyConflict@gmail.com with "Chapel on the Cliffs" in the subject line! It's that easy!

We've also just released our first Patron-only episode, and it's about a video game series we both love- Dark Souls. If you want to listen to it, or if you just want to donate to our podcast to help us make great shows, then head over to Patreon.com/InterPartyConflict to check out our donation tiers! As of this episode going up, we've got just a few days before we run our first Patron-sponsored D&D game over Roll20!

And as always, check out the other members of the Critnation Fellowship! Crit Academy and D&D Character Lab are making great podcasts, and Goblin Stone, Loresmyth, and Aurican's Lair for making great adventures. So check them all out!

Thanks everyone, and have a great week!
