A question for my fellow Game Marshals and Dungeon Managers: How thoroughly do you playtest encounters before you drop your players into them?

Context: I have a substantial battle coming up in the #Dune #TTRPG campaign I'm running, involving like 20 characters in total (Fremen, Harkonnen, and my players caught in the middle). I've run through the scenario twice now, and I've tuned it to where I'm pretty happy, but I think I'll do a couple more runs just to make sure. Is that normal?

I am reading "Dune" (about 1/3 of the way through the book), and it is amazing how at least ~80% of the book is dialogue.

I don't know how I feel about the author injecting people's thoughts in the middle of the dialogue though. It happens ~10% of the time, and it feels...Well, it feels like "the least bad writing technique" for the situation.

I cannot honestly think of a better alternative, but it *feels* like this is hard to get right, and anyone trying to imitate Herbert could screw this up badly.
