Out of the Abyss involves a variety of drow. The adventure (and The Monsters Know What They're Doing) assume stats from the 2014 Monster Manual, which are not available on dndbeyond.

The 2024 Monster Manual omits them. Revised versions appear in Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun.

"Just get a pre-made adventure," I told myself. "It'll reduce your prep time."

(I do like the simpler handling of monster spellcasting in 5.5, but backward compatible it ain't.)

Having read some of Ammann's excellent The Monsters Know What They're Doing, I'd like to explore tactical maneuvering in my upcoming Out of the Abyss campaign. What of materials?

MAPS: I'm thinking a tablet of gridded easel paper. I can make up maps ahead of time for anticipated encounters. I have the *ability* to draw beautifully detailed maps, but not the time. I also want to be able to create new ones on the fly as needed.

I'm reading Out of the Abyss to run it for players who want some Underdark.

On p. 21, it mentions "rolling on the Short-Term Madness, Long-Term Madness, or Indefinite Madness table in the Dungeon Master's Guide". The supposedly-compatible 2024 DMG does not appear to contain these tables.

A Gnome child walks into a book store.

Vendor: Hello! What can I do for you!

Gnome: Good morning. So I really like books about dragons!

Vendor: Do you now? Oh we have so much in common!

Gnome: Do you have anything in Gnomish though?..
