2016年1月13日 · Hemeth is one of the least detailed NPCs in OotA, and he will likely end up joining the party for a time. I've been having a lot of fun with him. I cast his as the captain and sole survivor of his merchant vessel, one of three that the party has been using to …

2017年5月15日 · Out of the Abyss is by far the 5e campaign I've seen with the worst high-level support. It's like the authors don't know what they're doing. That doesn't mean OotA can't be recommended. It just means you need to expect to rewrite almost every encounter in its second half if your players are half-decent at building a combat-effective party.

2016年4月19日 · So far I've run the Silken Paths and a toned down Lost Tomb of Khaem, and have made some modifications to both to make them more interesting. I'm considering how I want to handle the other two. I plan to run Hook Horror Hunt fairly soon, and the Oozing Temple a bit later when the players are...

2015年9月25日 · Eldeth and Prince Derendil: defeated and subdued by Quaggoth servants during the prison break. A halfling NPC called "Merric": gruesomely dissolved and eaten by a Grey Ooze during the prison break.

2015年11月2日 · I just started running OotA this weekend and was feeling overwhelmed with the potential stuff to keep track of. I decided to let my players handle a lot of it. The Drow Pursuit lets them know what actions increase and decrease pursuit level (as well as seeing where the drow are relative to them). I felt that adds some agency and urgency.

2016年4月21日 · I expanded the "kill the grick" quest to be a large grick colony located outside of the grove. While it was still mostly a straight up "go kill stuff" quest, it offered more opportunities for interaction with the myconids e.g., talk to hunters to learn about gricks attacking myconids outside the grove; talk to explorers to learn the location of …

2016年9月28日 · Reposting what I had saved as a Word doc. NOTE: I am editing this during the afternoon. Will remove the note and rearrange stuff throughout the day until the post is completed. I am starting an OOtA campaign shortly, and I am looking to make a thread of links compiling things I (and others)...

2019年9月16日 · Hello everyone, I am currently running the Out of the Abyss (OotA) campaign with 4 players. We meet roughly every 14 days. The players are also relatively new to 5e, some of them played earlier versions of DnD a few years ago. I will keep my campaign notes here and share homemade material for...

2020年4月6日 · Playing since 1994. DMing since 1995. Played: D&D(Rules Cyclopedia, 2nd edition, 3rd edition, v3.5, 4th edition and 5th), Star Wars (d6, d20 revised, Saga), Basic ...

2016年3月29日 · Next session, my players should reach Sloobludop, and while I like a lot of the basic setup of the place, I feel like I can do better in terms of what the players are actually doing. The given "quest" here is to fake being sacrifices for the Deep Father in order to infiltrate the enemy, but I'm...
