Hey, everyone! I'm on a cruise at the time this episode goes out, so nyah nyah! We're still committed to getting out episodes out on time, though, so here's your regularly-scheduled podcast, on time as usual.
This week we have another impassioned discussion about alignment (particularly, butting heads between two characters of opposed alignments), as well as making magic items that grow along with the players. I think we come up with some pretty good insights in this episode, so I hope everyone else is able to listen and come up with their own conclusions. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
This week's winner of our Chapel on the Cliffs drawing is Scott T! Congratulations, Scott! You should get your copy within the next few days. Whenever you have a chance to read it over, be sure to leave Goblin Stone a review! They're a great company and would love to use your feedback to improve their products.
Would you like to enter the drawing? It's easy- just e-mail us at InterPartyConflict@gmail.com with "Chapel on the Cliffs" in the subject line! It's that easy! As always, we need more entries for this drawing, so you have very good chances of winning very soon!
And remember, Goblin Stone is just one of the great content creators in the Critnation Fellowship! For more books and adventures, check out Loresmyth, Aurican's Lair, Jeff Stevens, and The Kind GM- and for more podcasts, visit our friends at Crit Academy D&D Character Lab, and Brute Force and Ignorance!
One last thing- be sure to get yourself a copy of Crit Academy's Unearthed Tips & Tricks book! It's a great product, and I helped write it!
See you next time, when I'm back on dry land with all of you normies!

Episode 135: The Loudest Episode
Hey, everyone! We've got a great episode for you this week- because we're joined by a great friend of ours, Jason Enright! We've mentioned him on the show more times than we can count- whether it's talking about his character who broke your weapon with his skin, the Eberron campaign he ran, or the time he spent like ten minutes needlessly describing a rope on the end of a stick- and we're so happy to have him with us today! We'll be covering two important topics- making encounters memorable, and splitting the party- all along with a healthy dose of reminiscing. We had a blast recording this episode, and I hope you have a blast listening to it!
This week's winner of our Chapel on the Cliffs drawing is our new patron, Jeff G! Congratulations, Jeff! You should get your copy within the next few days.

Episode 134: Chock Full of Plot Hooks
Hello, everyone! We've got a fun episode for you this week, that deviates a bit from our normal format. We're bringing to you a whole big bag of plot hooks, each revolving around a spell, a monster, or a magic item from 5e Dungeons & Dragons. It was a ton of fun getting these together, and who knows- we might do more episodes like this in the future if we get questions that allow for it!
