Out of the Abyss Explained in 7 Minutes | DnD 5e Underdark Adventure
Out of the Abyss takes place in the Underdark and a tiny bit in the not Underdark. Since the adventure is several hundred pages long, this video, which is hopefully not several hundred minutes long, will give you an overview of the adventure and maybe help you decide whether the adventure is worth your time or money. Enjoy the video and feel free to share it!

    After watching this 3 times, I started reading the book and like. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Everything is happening all at once and also nothing at all, and this is how you raise people from level 1 to 15 who are completely feral, never catch a break, and no amount of therapy will ever enable them to live in polite society ever again. So pretty good if you'd rather be playing the Cthulu game instead!

    We actually just called off a OotA campaign miday through the Wormwrithings because I don't remember the exact reasons but I blame the limitations of Talespire. Still had a good time while it lasted. I was a harengon cleric that was secretly one of the hidden library's librarians and also made a deal with the demon lord in it for feindish knowledge. By the way the library has a demon lord in it.

    It is unfortunate that WOTC often has vital importation that ties plots together strung out over several chapters. If you want a full adventure to run, I can't recommend one adventure in particular. Yawning Portal dungeons are pretty useful for dropping into a campaign though.

    I ... don't think you quite get it. The Underdark is for the dead. It's why the dwarves were chastised by Saruman for "digging a little too deep". You must ask: why are your players there? ALSO, the library at Gravenhollow is something you simply can't comprehend. It's simply not for any level you've comprehended. You'd probably have to be at least level50 to comprehend any of the books there. Think like it's the library of Chtulhu -- you simply won't get it. I mean, honestly, you need to spend a little more time on the street to really get the darkness of this module. Most people simply haven't been through abject poverty, drug addiction, and insanity to understand this module. Try that mini-adventure in your own life, before you open up this D&D campaign and then come back with the wisdom of how to handle it.
