How to create interesting encounters for D&D. In this video I go over the methods I use and show an example where I create a real encounter for an existing campaign I am running.

The encounter featured in the video went well, it did indeed end up being a fight, and the party had the Galeb-Dur destroyed by the end of the first round, it never even got a chance to attack. The earth elementals however were far more effective against the party. Eventually they were all destroyed, and the party expended resources and a couple party members were quite wounded by the end of it. In the end, the difficulty was very close to my expectation.
