This is the third episode of the "How to Dungeon Master" series. This video is intended to provide new dungeon masters with tips to build various encounters in fifth edition Dungeons and Dragons.

This video covers the non-combat social and exploration aspect of D&D and also the combat encounter building rules from the DMG.

Also thanks to Dawnforgedcast for letting me use the result of his Mega DM survey.
