How to Create Memorable Encounters in DND

How to Create Memorable Encounters in DND

It’s something we all strive for as GM’s, for our players to leave the table with an experience they’ll never forget. Connecting with your players is no easy feat though, it takes time, planning, writing, and can happen in a number of different ways. We can tell memorable stories, create characters that’ll never leave us and present situations that will come up time and time again when we reminisce on our old campaigns. A big part of D&D, and most TTRPGs, is the encounters we come up against on our adventures, and when you're throwing combats at your players week after week, it can be hard to think of something new that’ll really stand out to your players. I sat down with narrative designer, Geoffrey Golden, to talk about exactly that; how do you create memorable encounters?

The Ultimate DND Dice Guide

The Ultimate DND Dice Guide

Whether you have known about it since its inception in 1974 or have recently learnt about it, Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is becoming more popular than ever with an estimated 13.7 million players. It has recently become “cool” again thanks to its inclusion in the popular Netflix show Stranger Things.

Arguably the most important object used during the game is a 7 piece set of dice. Whenever a player chooses to make actions that do not have an obvious answer, a roll of the dice helps indicate what will happen in the game. A simple roll of the dice can change the course of a D&D story in the matter of seconds.
