Session Prep and Encounter Building in the D&D 2024 DMG – Lazy RPG Talk Show

1448.23 - 1467.501 Mike Shea

One little trick about the word encounter is I use the word scene. And the reason I use the word scene is I feel like a lot of GMs when they hear encounter, they think combat encounter. D&D and the style guide for D&D uses encounter to mean any scene. And they even refer to it as an encounter is a scene like a scene from a movie. So you can use those two terms interchangeably when I speak to it.
