Episode 59 - Lots of talk about conflict, but no Dings

Welcome back!

This episode talks about a lot of things- alternate types of hit points, the nature of conflict, and what makes a compelling story, to name a few- and I think we got a lot of good discussion out of it (even if we never really came to any solid conclusions). I love when we get discussion questions that really elicit that kind of a deep conversation- simpler questions are fun too (I do like the times when we've got like five or six simple questions rather than one or two big ones) but this kind of discussion is sort of why we made the show in the first place.

Anyway, this week our Chapel on the Cliffs winner is Adam B! If any of you want to enter, all you have to do is send us an e-mail with "Chapel on the Cliffs" in the subject line! Could it be any easier?

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!

Thanks for listening, and stay safe out there!
