Out of the Abyss - Survival/Horror - PbP
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Dive deep into the shadowy abyss with "Out of the Abyss," a thrilling campaign that tests your mettle. Trapped and bound in the treacherous Underdark, you'll find yourself ensnared in a maze of politics and survival, fleeing for your life and battling against malevolent entities lurking in the dark. Stripped of tools, your primary goal is to evade the grip of the drow. Can you forge alliances with your fellow prisoners, but with your captors right on your heels, who can you really trust? Embark on a perilous odyssey through the winding catacombs of the Underdark, grappling with insanity, unexpected encounters, and devious factions. Delve into distinct locales, every one a standalone adventure, and carve your way through a land teeming with risks and turmoil. As you ascend from the abyss, a grander scheme unravels, pulling you once again into the Underdark where the world's destiny hangs in the balance. Will you be consumed by the enveloping shadows, or rise valiantly against the malevolent lords hidden beneath? Challenge the abyss, and strive to dominate its vast expanse. ⏱ Pacing: 1 long DM post each day in the evenings (UK time), and a shorter message in the morning to reply to any @ pings. Additional replies/posts are subject to my availability throughout the day..
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
