In our latest episode of "Let's Talk Lore" D&D podcast, we dive into the creation and discussion of a uniquely thrilling TTRPG encounter to answer the question of how to run a fun, large scale DND battle? Set in a homebrew D&D world where peaceful colonies are at odds over the belief that the Earth is flat, we offer DM tips for D&D players and game masters alike. This encounter is set against a backdrop teeming with mind flayers, Elder Brains, and a series of unexpected twists that keep the story engaging and fun. Unlike large-scale battles that can often become slow and tedious, this type of encounter is designed to be hilarious, engaging, and a blast to run.
