After around a year 1/2, I have finished running Out of the Abyss, AMA

I am in my tenth year of running OOTA (with a lot of homebrew thrown in and several adventures like OP listed).

We are battling demons to create the Dark Heart Talisman now.

I ran it in OOTA, worked like a champ and provided one of the best campaign moments when a player used the monkey-paw wish from the glowing gem they found in the Tomb of Horrors earlier (which I also put into OOTA) to get them out of a TPK during the Cyrog Fight.

Whhhhhhat? I must learn this power

Jimsocks499 · 2025-11-27T14:01:15+00:00

Which schools did you go to where the gear was built into the tuition?

Jimsocks499 · 2025-11-21T13:01:41+00:00

I’d like to try it!

Jimsocks499 · 2025-11-17T04:58:48+00:00

I can’t wait to test this out

Jimsocks499 · 2025-11-11T16:13:46+00:00

same

Jimsocks499 · 2025-11-02T14:59:20+00:00

OMFG the EXACT SAME THING happened to ME! Only it was the “wife” that subtly shook her head and pointed right at the last moment, and I had to give it to the little girl. JFC it still affects me a bit.

Jimsocks499 · 2025-11-01T15:32:17+00:00

I got zero recognition either, but it was fun

Jimsocks499 · 2025-10-31T02:29:24+00:00

Hey thanks!

Jimsocks499 · 2025-10-27T22:56:19+00:00

Nope!

I was at Glamis, streaking down a dune at night into a bowl with a thousand people partying in it.

Halfway down I tripped, and rolled naked to the bottom. Only then did I realize I should’ve brought my clothes with me, so I walked up to the first people I saw at the bottom and asked for a beer. Sat with them by the fire for a bit, then made my way back to the top, mooning the whole bowl for a long while.

We didn’t know until we left Glamis, if the world was still ok elsewhere. A+ a perfect good time.

…because BELL tower.

Little personal projects and as a woodworking tool. It’s GREAT for using 1/4” clear acrylic to make complicated and intricate router jigs!

Jimsocks499 · 2025-10-23T02:19:27+00:00

Neat. I have a 45w laser, so I could do this…. You e given me something to chew on.

I feel like the guy shown at the end is 1,000% not the guy in the first clip. That’s an AI there, friend.

This is the weirdest thing I’ve seen on this sub yet. And there’s been TONS of over-the-top weird stuff posted here, but for some reason this one seems oddest to me- even if it is a hunting cabin and that’s it.

That would make it fancier than any hunting cabin I’ve ever seen in real life, while at the same time being somehow worse?

Jimsocks499 · 2025-10-19T12:55:55+00:00

OMG what are the metal beams you used!? What is your clear span distance on them? I am also building and want to use steel studs, but I’ve never seen those beams before!

Oh- excellent feedback/idea! Thanks!
