We wrap up The Tower of Vengeance and head to the Wormwrithings. A troglodyte party! It’s entirely possible to have too much rope on a dungeon crawl. Helps from Vizeran. The Wand of Limited, Vengeancy Underdark Teleportation. More on Blackrazor vs. a demon lord. This is one DM that is done with adding more NPCs to an adventure. Shane does a booty dance.
This is an ongoing series of Shane’s notes, thoughts and tips for running the D&D adventure Out of the Abyss, which is the tabletop portion of the Rage of Demons story line.
Each video follows the most recent session with his group.

Shane attempts to be brief but fails miserably. The party wraps up Gravenhollow and journeys to Araj, the tower of vengeance, with their new best buddy Vizeran the vengeful drow archmage and his pal Kleve the death slaad. A plan to defeat the demon lords is revealed, but is Vizeran truly their ally? The craziest D&D shopping list in history (and a major fail on the writing in Shane’s somewhat humble opinion). Should you do it: Strong in game connections between PCs and major established NPCs from lore / fiction. Players’ responsibilities in keeping up with the story. Out of character / table talk vs. in game talk. Can Blackrazor eat a demon lord’s soul???
This is an ongoing series of Shane’s notes, thoughts and tips for running the D&D adventure Out of the Abyss, which is the tabletop portion of the Rage of Demons story line.
Each video follows the most recent session with his group.

Respite from the madness during a visit to Gravenhollow. The party learns vital information about how the demon lord incursion began and finds a path forward. Stonespeaker crystals. Outposts and sending stones. Handling outrageous player behavior in game. Is OotA a sandbox or linear adventure? Can a pre-written adventure even truly be sandbox? Shane babbles a little bit about retro computers.
This is an ongoing series of Shane’s notes, thoughts and tips for running the D&D adventure Out of the Abyss, which is the tabletop portion of the Rage of Demons story line.
Each video follows the most recent session with his group.
Shane rants and carries on a bit and calls out by name the Snoke problem in Star Wars, the elephant in the room no one else dares speak of for fear of public exile. What is this terrible knowledge that could destroy the entire mythology of the most beloved space opera franchise in human history??? Watch and find out, true believer!
The journey to Gravenhollow! Advanced expedition management. Random encounters, vanishing NPCs, and megalomaniacal illithids. Shane’s amazing way cool new Underdark feature. Outpost building for fun and profit. Challenging “nova burst” parties. When should the expedition NPCs get involved in a PC encounter, if ever?
