    D&D 5E DMing "Out of the Abyss"

    I wrote up three side missions for the PCs to break them in at Velkynvelve. Unfortunately, scheduling conflicts have thwarted repeated attempts to start the campaign, so I can't report on how they went. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?p=6777838

    D&D 5E Small tweaks to improve Out of the Abyss [DMs toolbox; SPOILERS]

    D&D 5E Gracklestugh pronunciation?

    I have to add hyphens between the syllables in all the Kuo-Toa words in order to be able to say them (or even read them in my head). Even then, I usually just say the first syllable and let the rest trail off as a blub-blub-gurgle-gurgle mutter. Which actually works well.
