D&D 5E Out of the Abyss resource collection - restored

Reposting what I had saved as a Word doc.

NOTE: I am editing this during the afternoon. Will remove the note and rearrange stuff throughout the day until the post is completed.

I am starting an OOtA campaign shortly, and I am looking to make a thread of links compiling things I (and others) might find useful for that purpose.

I hope to get some help from this wonderful community!

So - what have I missed, if anything? Also, what sort of handouts, maps, sketches etc. have you been using, and are you willing to share some with me and others in this thread, then please post!

Please post any images, maps, sketches, guides etc. you might have!

Thank you for this collection! Here's my contribution: Audio of the Wyrmsmith (Themberchaud) in Gracklestugh. Sending my voice through Audacity sounded way cooler than trying to voice act an Adult Red Dragon =)
