Hey all!
For the campaign after my current, we are delving into the Underdark! It's not a setting we've done much with, so I want to hit every trope and make it an iconic adventure. I've been binging some Underdark sourcebooks, I'm planning on leaning on the following:
-I want to use some of the NPCs from "Out of the Abyss", and start the campaign with the PCs captured by the Drow and making their escape. We've done a lot with demon lords, though, so I don't really plan on using their main plot. I do like the general idea of characters trying to escape the Underdark, leaning of some kind of plan, and then having to go back in better equipped.
-I want to use a lot of the creatures from "Veins of the Earth" to capture the weirdness of the lower levels.
-I'm a huge fan of the environments presented in the 4e Underdark book, I'm going to lean on that sourcebook quite a bit for most of the exploration.
I'm still figuring out the main plot, but I do like the idea of Lolth as a "Final Boss", and a climax set in the Demonweb pits. Or I might have the high tier be about Lolth in opposition to Torog, where the PCs pick a side.
Anybody have any great Underdark experiences or resources to share? Has anyone used Lolth to drive a metaplot?
