Episode 132- What's in the box?!
Hey there, everyone! This week we turn the spotlight on ourselves and do a bit of introspection- Jeff and I talk about ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses (mostly weaknesses) at tabletop gaming, as well as what we would do if we made ourselves as D&D characters. Hopefully our listeners will be able to get something out of this episode, but in any case, we enjoyed making it!
As has been for a few of the weeks now, we don't have any winners for the Chapel on the Cliffs drawing. (But we did get a few entrants after we recorded this episode, though!) So if you'd like to enter for a future episode, it's easy- just e-mail us at InterPartyConflict@gmail.com with "Chapel on the Cliffs" in the subject line. That's all it takes, and you'll get yourself a cool, clean copy of Goblin Stone's great spooky adventure, 100% free!

Episode 131 - The One Where We Talk About Pieces of Cod
Hey everyone! We have another great episode for you this week- we talk about making information gathering into something interesting, introducing new characters into an existing party, and killing off a PC in the service of the story. (Also, the Dragon's Hoard item this week is a magic codpiece. No I'm not happy about it, but, hey, I got it out of the way, right?)
This week's winner of our Chapel on the Cliffs drawing is our new patron, Edward T! Congratulations, Edward! You should get your copy within the next few days.

Question answered this episode:
1. How do I make gathering information fun? I don’t want it to be a repetitive string of npcs that they have to persuade (or threaten). What else can PCs use to obtain information?
2. What should you do when a PC retires mid-campaign? How best to incorporate a new character into an existing party plot-wise?
3. Is it ok to kill a PC for the story? For example one player stays behind to ensure safety for the rest of the party.

Episode 130: The unlucky multiple of 10
Hello, everyone! This week we dive right into the real meat of this game we call RPGs- we answer the question you've all been wondering for your whole lives: "What happens if I eat this thing?" Specifically, demon hearts. Less-specifically, other hearts too. We also have some fun talking about letting animals wear armor, plus some stuff about gaming stores and eyepatches.
We also have two Patreon-related announcements! First, we have a new patron! Welcome to the fold, Jason P! Our other announcement is less exciting: As of this month (August 2019) I won't be writing any more monthly fantasy fiction. (Maybe I will again in the future, but not for the foreseeable future.) It's become quite difficult for me over the last year and a half so to spare my sanity I'm setting it aside and working on coming out with different Patreon rewards instead. Hopefully that doesn't make anyone want to remove their pledges, but if so, we fully understand.
Back to more fun stuff...
As the last few weeks, we don't have any winners for the Chapel on the Cliffs drawing. (We may have one next week; we'll see.) But if you'd like to enter for a future episode, it's easy- just e-mail us at InterPartyConflict@gmail.com with "Chapel on the Cliffs" in the subject line.
