If any of the encounters in there were from you then thank you for creating them.

I have just uploaded Out of the Abyss: Random Encounters to the downloads area. I pulled together a whole host of random encounters from people on this board, reddit, facebook and anywhere else I could find them. Very few of the encounters are of my own making, so I'm not claiming any credit...
