Hello, listeners! We're back this week with another episode. This time, we talk about a topic that might be a little bit controversial- specifically, whether Jeff and Gabe (mainly Gabe) likes listening to D&D stories, and what makes a D&D story good or worth telling. We also cover a couple other topics, including physical props at the table, opening locked doors, and sneaky ways to hear secret conversations. So come along and join the discussion!
This week's Chapel on the Cliffs drawing winner is Scott! Congratulations, Scott! Let me know if you haven't gotten your copy within a day or so (and be sure to check your spam folder!). And be sure to visit Goblin Stone's website and give them your feedback!
If anyone else would like to enter the drawing, just e-mail us at InterPartyConflict@gmail.com with "Chapel on the Cliffs" in the subject line. That's it!
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, and Jeff Stevens- and for more podcasts, visit our friends at Crit Academy and D&D Character Lab!
Have a great week!

Episode 75, with Jeff and Gabe and Dan and Garin
Welcome back, everyone! We've got a great episode in store for you today. We're joined by two amazing podcasters- Dan and Garin from the D&D Character Lab podcast! Every week they produce an incredibly fun show where they make characters and pit them against each other- we've talked about them more times than I can count but if you haven't given them a listen yet, you should!
This week we talk about remembering character names (or not being able to remember them), playing the same character or character type multiple times, and monster races. We also get some fun out of character voices, and figuring out what CR a Couatl is. (Spoiler: It's 4.) So come along for the ride!

Yet again, we have a new patron! Thank you so much, Doug W! You're so awesome and we appreciate your patronage more than we can say. If anyone else out there would like to join the ever-growing family and get cool bonus content too, so head over to Patreon.com/InterPartyConflict and think about contributing!

Questions answered this episode:
1. How do you remember everyone's character names?
2. Do you have a character or character type that you play in every campaign?
3. Do you feel that beast races are appropriate for a party? Orcs, Hobgoblins, Kobolds, Bugbears, and Yaun-Ti are all good, but what about a doppelganger, or a frost giant, a centaur, or maybe even a displacer beast? How far can one go if they want to play a monstrous race?

Your Character Doesn't Know Which Episode This Is
Usually when recording one of these, we'll have a list of questions we plan to get to, and we'll have an idea of which questions are going to generate a lot of discussion and which ones will be pretty quick. While recording this episode, however, the first question (of several) kind of got away from us and before we knew it, we'd gone way over our usual episode length! So expect a long episode this time, with a lot of pontificating from yours truly.
Also, this week we continue our Social Media Discussion Question segment- except while editing I realized I goofed big time. We've already recorded next week's episode (with some special guests you won't want to miss!) and somehow through that whole process I didn't realize that I posted the wrong question on social media this week! This week's question (according to the podcast) was about Interactive Fiction, yet the question I actually posted was about Character Voices (as you'll hear us talk about next week). It's not the end of the world, but it was still a pretty big goof on my part. So, sorry about that. I'll have to figure out how to keep myself on track in the future.
We have a new Patron this week! Welcome to the fold, Noah Wizard! (We also have another new patron, but he joined after this episode was recorded so expect a shout-out next time around.) Our Patreon is getting bigger and better every week, so head over to Patreon.com/InterPartyConflict and think about joining yourself!
This week's Chapel on the Cliffs drawing winner is Peter H! Congratulations, Peter! Contact me if you haven't gotten your adventure within the next couple days. And be sure to leave Goblin Stone a review!
If anyone else would like to enter the drawing, just e-mail us at InterPartyConflict@gmail.com with "Chapel on the Cliffs" in the subject line. It's that easy!

Episode 73: The Third Time We've Used the Word "Keeping" in an Episode Title
(This is embarassing. I've gotten so good about writing these out ahead of time so they don't go out several days late like they used to, but now that I have them done early I forget to actually publish the episode when the day comes. So... sorry, everyone.)
Hello there!
This episode we take a little bit of a closer look at a couple topics we covered last week, but with a different focus. It wasn't intentional that we did it in this way, but we had a couple questions that sort of overlapped and I thought we could get some good discussion out of focusing on them a bit closer. So in this one, we talk about music and sound effects in your game, how to teach someone to roll their dice better, and encouraging players to vary up their descriptions- plus some talk about RPG genres and doors that open up to pocket dimensions. All in all, I think this is a fun one you won't want to miss!
This episode, we want to thank two more patrons- Avenshil and Joseph! Thank you both so, so much! You not only are helping us make the show great, but you've helped us to hit our latest goal- which means that within the next couple months, I'll be streaming some games from my awesome home arcade cabinet! Stay tuned for more details.
And if anyone else would like to become a patron, go to Patreon.com/InterPartyConflict and see if any of the our rewards catch your eye. We're making the show awesomer and awesomer by the week, and you can help out by going there and getting yourself some cool bonus content!

Episode 72- Dice, Dice, and More Dice (and Some Other Stuff Too)
Hey, everyone! We're back with another episode. This time, we talk about how to help someone overcome their fear of DMing, whether or not to use a computer while you play, and then a whole bunch of mini-questions about dice and dice practices. It's a lot of fun, so I hope you all enjoy it!
This episode also introduces a new (mini) segment- our Social Media Question section. Every week (since we started the podcast) I've been posting a discussion question on social media (Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter) for our listeners. At the suggestion of Damian from Adventures in Erylia, I've decided to incorporate these into our show! It seems a little clunky at the moment because of our recording schedule (we record about a week in advance, so the questions get posted several days after we record but a couple days before the episode airs...) but hopefully it'll work out. We'll be giving our own answers to these questions, as well as reading some listener answers as well! So if you reply to us on social media, we're likely to read your replies on-air!
We're also doing great on our Patreon (more on that next episode) thanks to all of you out there! If you'd like to become a patron, go to Patreon.com/InterPartyConflict and see if any of the our rewards catch your eye. You'll be helping the show and getting cool stuff in return!
This week's Chapel on the Cliffs drawing winner is Kaden G! Congratulations, Kaden! If you haven't received an e-mail within the next 24 hours then contact me and we'll get you sorted out. And be sure to visit Goblin Stone and let them know what you think!

Questions answered this episode:

2. How much do you involve your computer as a DM or even a player?
3. Dice!... How many do you have? Can you have too many? Are you "Dice Superstitious?" For example... Do you let other players roll yours? Have you played with know anyone who won't. Have you ever "retired" a die for a session because it kept rolling bad, or roll your dice in a "lucky" die tray or tower only? And finally, do you ever roll, or let your players roll, the to hit die and damage die at the same time?

Episode 71, and Mountain Witch Kickstarter!
Hello, everyone! We have an exciting week for you. In this episode, we talk about taking campaign notes and turning them into stories (a topic I have a lot of experience with), we discuss our favorite historical settings for tabletop games, and we talk about one of the best D&D monsters: Mindflayers. We have a lot of fun talking about it, so hopefully you have a lot of fun listening!
Another thing I want to mention- today marks the first day of the kickstarter for my brother's indie RPG, the Mountain Witch 2nd Edition! It's already blown way past its goal (and had within a couple hours!) but if you want to get in on the ground floor and help support an awesome product and an awesome creator, then head over to the Kickstarter page and check it out!
Speaking of supporting creators, consider becoming a patron and head over to Patreon.com/InterPartyConflict and see if any of the our rewards catch your eye! You'll be helping the show and getting cool stuff in return.

It's the 70th episode! The 70th numbered one, anyway!
Hello out there! This week we have a fun episode. We talk about smiting your enemies, one-shot adventures, armor that carries your body around after you're dead, beating people in the streets, characters named after body parts... We run the whole gamut here at Inter-Party Conflict. Knowhutimean?
Let me ask a question- did this episode sound different to you? Hopefully not. But if so, it might be because Jeff edited this one! Normally I hoard the editing privileges like a greedy dragon fighting off adventurers. But Jeff offered, so I let him go ahead! And I think it turned out great. So everyone go tweet at him or whatever and tell him I said so.
Last week we ran our Roll20 game, which went better than I had hoped (though we didn't have enough time to finish it- we'll have to make plans for that) and we've also gotten a new Red-Tier patron! We recorded this episode before that, though, so we'll be shouting him out on the podcast next week. In the meantime, thanks Christopher! We really appreciate your contribution!
If you'd like to become a patron too (and get outtakes, bonus episodes, fantasy fiction written by me, and a monthly Roll20 game), then all you have to do is go to Patreon.com/InterPartyConflict and see if any of the rewards look good to you! You'll be helping the show and getting cool stuff in return.

Questions answered this episode:
1. How can I clue my players into things happening behind the scenes (unrest and racism in the land, etc.) without outright telling them?
2. In 5e, can a paladin using an attack with divine smite that brings a creature's hit points to zero declare it as non-lethal?
3. What is a one shot? Do they have to have a satisfying ending? Are one shots good or bad for the game?

Let me ask a question- did this episode sound different to you? Hopefully not. But if so, it might be because Jeff edited this one! Normally I hoard the editing privileges like a greedy dragon fighting off adventurers. But Jeff offered, so I let him go ahead! And I think it turned out great. So everyone go tweet at him or whatever and tell him I said so.
Last week we ran our Roll20 game, which went better than I had hoped (though we didn't have enough time to finish it- we'll have to make plans for that) and we've also gotten a new Red-Tier patron! We recorded this episode before that, though, so we'll be shouting him out on the podcast next week. In the meantime, thanks Christopher! We really appreciate your contribution!
If you'd like to become a patron too (and get outtakes, bonus episodes, fantasy fiction written by me, and a monthly Roll20 game), then all you have to do is go to Patreon.com/InterPartyConflict and see if any of the rewards look good to you! You'll be helping the show and getting cool stuff in return.
This week's Chapel on the Cliffs drawing winner is Jonathan S! Congratulations, Jonathan! Check your spam folder if you don't see your e-mail. And be sure to give Goblin Stone a review!
If anyone else would like to enter the drawing, just e-mail us at InterPartyConflict@gmail.com with "Chapel on the Cliffs" in the subject line! It's that easy!
And remember, Goblin Stone is one of the amazing content creators on the Critnation Fellowship! For more books and modules, check out Loresmyth, Aurican's Lair, and Jeff Stevens- and for more podcasts, visit our great friends at Crit Academy and D&D Character Lab!
Have a great week!

Questions answered this episode:
1. How can I clue my players into things happening behind the scenes (unrest and racism in the land, etc.) without outright telling them?
2. In 5e, can a paladin using an attack with divine smite that brings a creature's hit points to zero declare it as non-lethal?
3. What is a one shot? Do they have to have a satisfying ending? Are one shots good or bad for the game?
