Hi Playground!
I do not have the starter set nor have I participated in any of the playtests but my group and I are going to run a quick game tomorrow using the Basic ruleset and the 4 monsters the D&D team have released so far (Hobgoblin, Ochre Jelly, Nothic, Ogre). I am struggling to put together fun and engaging encounters however. I want to use this thread as a place to give DM's a chance to display some of their best designed encounters for inspiration and debate. If you have experience designing and running NEXT encounters or you are looking for someone to PEACH yours please feel free to post it here!
Groundrules:
Criticism is okay provided it's constructive and unoffensive
If you are using traps, terrain effects or puzzles please list the mechanics for them
If you are comfortable, please provide some statistics for your monsters if they are outside of the four already released (HP, Challenge Rating/XP Value, Attack Bonus, Damage, Ability Mod's)
Don't hesitate to ask for help or to give advice
