Glababool is the adventure!

Having all them NPCs in the party made combat EXTREMELY hard to do as a new Game Master way back when I tried to do this thing.

This was a fantastic, informative and fun breakdown of a module I haven't really looked at in the past, and there's a lot more good here then I've picked up from secondhand comments on it. Heck, I might even feel like running it one day now, since I'll be able to identify the faults quicker and easier and patch them ahead of time.

I'm glad you found it helpful! Out of the abyss is a module that doesn't benefit from reading it all before running it, it's a module that absolutely needs it. The more preparation and knowledge you have the better this campaign will be. Hopefully knowing its shortfalls will make a huge difference when you decide to run it. I know it gets a lot of well deserved hate but it has some amazing stuff in there if people can work around its flaws.

Considering I just escaped the Underdark, we decided not to continue into part 2. We spent a year and a half, and it was tedious. I’m sure our DM didn’t help himself, because he decided to combine this campaign with a different one, making things convoluted and confusing. The pacing was rough, and it just seemed like we were always running away, witnessing the genocide of a culture. Our DM was also played his NPCs as extremely aggressive and hostile towards at all times. So although I was a charisma character, I didn’t want to talk to anyone. We also kept getting piled on with tasks and never solving anything. It was frustrating, to say the least. I will say, there were some real highs though (though it’s hard for me to know what is the Abyss and what was the other campaign), the oozy temple was fun! The Society of Brilliance and Grazillax was awesome, the Darrow and our investigations into Buppido and the cave system was great and challenging. The Neverlight Grove was both enchanting and terrifying, though I loved that little investigation portion talking to the different circles. Hard words to say (Yggmorgus, Loobamub, Yesterbrod etc) but fun nonetheless. This was a great video!

Yea! You prety much names 90% of the main issues people talk about with the campaign. Its a bummer that you arent continuning because the 2nd half is where you stop running "away" and start running "into" the danger more prepared, Everything you mentioned at least in this comment is from the module. I didnt do too much in Graklestug but I realllllly enjoyed the neverlight grove as well! Thanks you very much :D

Nice breakdown. Never played. Not sure if I will get around to it

If you ever get the chance you should take it! It definitley has its flaws but it can really be a great campaign.

I love this adventure, but what it is missing is a good Act II to bridge Act 1and 3. Chapter 7, 8, and 9 do not make a good bridge between the two.

100000% The adventure is really cool but is SEVERLEY lacking any connective tissue to bind the "acts" together.

Do you have any comment on the rumors that you yourself came out of the abyss?? I think the public has a right to know.
