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!

The Macaroni & Cheese recipe I made (Strong suggestion: Either use less blue cheese than the recipe calls for, or don't use it at all. I don't like blue cheese and it was very noticeable in every bite.)

Adventures in Erylia, an Actual Play podcast that we mention often
Demon Stone, the D&D video game mentioned in the episode (mistakenly called Dragon Stone)
