I'm finding the description of how the Maze Engine works very confusing. It could be interpreted that you roll on the Maze Engine Effects table 1 time, 2 times, 12 times, or 13 times. The best I can guess, you only roll once (on round 12), unless the party does something to stop it from falling...

DMG page 92 says "Any NPC that accompanies the adventurers acts as a party member and earns a full share of experience points." Do you think the DM is intended to follow this advice in Out of the Abyss? It could cut the XP for each player character by a huge amount, but they seem to expect you...

What is that based on? I haven't seen any published date for when Out of the Abyss takes place.

I just want to say that I think this document is fantastic. Very well thought out. This should be in the book. Thank you! Have you considered doing something similar for Out of the Abyss? Maybe it wouldn't work—the parts I've trade so far haven't been particularly goal-driven, or clearly...

This is quite a bit overpowered compared to the book—page 41 recommends: Page 75 recommends: Page 112 recommends: So, skipping side quests, the recommended challenge ratings are: Into the Wilderness Tomb of Moving Stones Feathergale Spire Rivergard Keep Sacred Stone Monastery Scarlet...

I ran the starter set using 3D Virtual Tabletop on an iPad—it worked OK, though it was a bit small.

You can't do that, but you could run Roll20 on a computer hooked up to a projector and use it to pan the map around and move tokens.

To answer your question, by the way, if I was doing this, I would use Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop for the grids and key. That's the best and most flexible, but it may be overkill, and costs at least $19.99/month. (Though there is a free trial.) For moving tokens on the tabletop or...

No, they're not alphanumerically labeled. I've never heard of that before, except maybe for a large area map. Is this for play-by-post or something? Just curious.

Most of the digital maps already have grids on them—what are you trying to do, exactly?

http://tribality.com/2015/09/07/rage-of-demons-out-of-the-abyss-review/ This Tribality review mentions a drow wizard named Vizeran. Is this the Vizeran DeVir who kicks off the events of PotA, but is never encountered in the adventure?

I'm the DM. I think I might use this note on raise dead from the AD&D PHB:

A character was killed and then turned into a zombie by the animate dead spell. Is there a way for the character to be restored to life? Raise Dead says "The spell can’t return an undead creature to life." Resurrection says "You touch a dead creature that has been dead for no more than a...

Looks like at least one of the cartographers is Jared Blando, and digital maps will be available 9/15: Mike Schley also contributed and is planning to make his maps available soon: They will presumably be available here and here.
