Just finished reading this. Good book, well-written!

To the original poster: Really cool idea, thanks!!! Copied for ideas in my game.

Resurrecting this thread. Just had a session this weekend. Made the following random encounter, combined with the Oozing Temple. The party have just begun travel on the Darklake from Sloobludop to Gracklestugh. They left a narrow tunnel filled with rapids into a very large cavern filled with...

My party has Dawnbringer now. It's definitely a powerful weapon, but its a detriment too. Our group has a deep gnome and two drow. It hurts almost as much as it helps. If they have it by the time of Sloopbludop, it could really help them survive the ritual and then become a beacon for the...

Very nice...going to yoink this. I was looking for a way to add more detail.

I like using advantage over static mods to rolls. Your list of daily set up looks good. I'm going to have the party leader also set up marching formations for each type of area (narrow, standard, and wide). I don't really need the navigation checks due to an underdark ranger in the party.

Good ideas! Done!

I created this cheat sheet for my game this weekend. Thought I would post in case others found it useful. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14F3QaNMh60AxGgJ-EXV95mJ8bp-UHmpA8gVDuxTq8Vg/edit?usp=sharing

I'm glad you like them. I agree about the terrain. I'm thinking about changing the encounters to include both terrain and monster. The two of them together makes for a more memorable scene instead of just "a monster pops out at you"

My group should be lucky, on my random rolls I got a group of 6 drow traders on day 2. I added two quaggoths for pack mules/bodyguards. That will give the party 6 chain shirts,short swords and hand xbows if they take them, plus trade goods (which i put in the form of explorer packs) and 60...

I should clarify. Not healing potions, which you can buy. The wonderous ones in the DMG, which you cannot.

Tangent, but I think I might make potions not consumable. Instead, the vial is magic and refills after a certain period of time (like a week or something)

No, the adventure gives different encounter tables based on location. They have a general one that covers the broad expanses of the underdark, including a chance for both terrain and creature encounters. And then have tables for specific areas, like settlements and unique areas of the...

That treasure haul is nice. Did you come up with or use a generator? And if so, which one?

Pg 40, Under Random Encounters. Check every 4 hours.. I think the page 51 is for Gracklestugh (sp?)

The Darklake is a rough place. Just began pre-rolling the random encounters and 6 chances per day for a random encounter is a big change from the 2 per day in the caves.

I did some random generation of encounters today and came up with following encounters that I liked. I've been using a result of 1 on the light rolls to determine if the encounter area is within the Faerzress. Day 7 Narrow sized area, Dark Patch of Green slime in area. A rocktopus that is...

Any thoughts on having a ranger in the party with Favored Terrain: Underdark? I'm wondering how much it should alleviate the survival part of this adventure.

Nice work. Will have to check out the generator here.

In this thread http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?469005-DMing-quot-Out-of-the-Abyss-quot there was much discussion about the random encounters and sandbox nature of the adventure. I would love to see what other GMs have come up with for their campaigns to put in those open areas...
