[QUOTE="Daern, post: 6706286, member: 81800"] For me, Abyss is more story oriented though very open ended. Escaping the Underdark is a huge motivation and challenge. Going back in is up to the players. They can choose if and how they do it. It's really pretty rp focused. Princes I have not run, but the isn't a lot of motivation other than, "Whats up with the weird weather, and what about some guys who are missing?" I think its the sort of adventure where characters are gonna find themselves deep in a dungeon grind wondering why they're there. Now, that can be fine if its a loose, sand boxy type of game, but there's not much narrative tension such as it is. Anyways here's my Abyss summary from this thread: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468090-Can-someone-please-summarize-Out-of-the-Abyss-for-me[/url] SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUT OF THE ABYSS Escape from drow slave pits. Choose a direction to travel in the underdark, engage in a long term flight from drow hunters, using the travel and exploration rules, have various random encounters and discover strange labrynths, most likely ending up at an underground lake at a Kuo Tuo or a Duergar city but possibly at a Myconid forest. Find out the place is going crazy, maybe see a demon lord. Return to the surface. Enjoy the sunshine. Get summoned by the Dwarves of Gauntelgrym to lead an expedition of torchbearers into the depths to stop the demon lords. Visit an underground trading post Visit a mystical Stone Giant Library Visit the Tower of a renegade drow wizard who has a PLAN Search the Underdark for spell components for the ritual to lure all the demonlords together and banish them. Maybe see a demonlord. Go to a demon lord wedding. Have an astra battle in a rotting skull, then maybe a physical battle with a demon lord. Go to the Drow Homeland City of Menarezzzoboring to steal stuff. Summon all the demon lords to a godzilla battle (option to have players play them) then maybe fight the surviving demon lord who is hopefully super messed up. And I think that's a wrap! [/QUOTE]
