So I’m going to go out on a limb and say that first level characters are going to have a pretty rough time of it. I say sort-of because the first part of the campaign can be run with first level characters … or second … or third. Out of the Abyss sort-of takes the characters from levels 1 through 15. On the bright side, despite the inattention-induced smushed corner, the book’s binding has not shown any negative effects from the test. However, I must regret to report that my review copy of Out of the Abyss failed the impact test we performed, so be advised that if you leave your copy of Out of the Abyss on top of your vehicle, then go through a roundabout, the resulting collision will do significantly more damage to your book than it does to the pavement. The graphic design, art style, cartography and other production aspects are consistent with the high level of quality for D&D. It is also tagged as part of the “Rage of Demons” event, tying in with several other product releases (don’t worry, despite Drizzt Do’Urden’s presence in some other Rage of Demons material, he will not show up here to steal the characters’ thunder).

The campaign was produced by Wizards of the Coast and Green Ronin Publishing (Dragon Age, Mutants & Masterminds, A Song of Fire and Ice). Out of the Abyss is a 250-page, full-color hardcover that retails for about $50. If you might be playing through the campaign, and don’t want any information going in, turn away now! Warning: This review isn’t going to do anything like give map locations, but it will contain information on the outlines of the plot of the Out of the Abyss campaign. Out of the Abyss released today, September 15, 2015. Like Princes of the Apocalypse, Out of the Abyss will take the characters up to level 15 as they confront the effects of a massive demonic incursion into the Underdark.

Following on the heels of Hoard of the Dragon Queen, The Rise of Tiamat, and Princes of the Apocalypse, Out of the Abyss is the fourth campaign adventure supplement for Dungeons & Dragons 5E.
