Building Combat Encounters in Dungeons and Dragons 5e: Concept & Conflict (Part 1 of 3)

In this video, we discuss our methods for building combat encounters in Dungeons and Dragons 5e, starting with how to create a concept built around an exciting conflict. We’ll focus on how Dungeon Masters can blend narrative and mechanics to create a memorable battle filled with epic story moments as well as rewarding combat gameplay. Check back soon for Part 2 of this series where we discuss the mechanics of encounter difficulty, and Part 3 where we discuss designing an epic location to set the stage for battle.
