This was an excellent sourcebook that introduces us to a number of different things. First, there are brand new monsters. These entries into demonkind do much to expand the possibilities without making stale the current demons that many have seen time and time again.

There are also other entries for drow variant NPC's that can spice up a campaign and drastically reduce a DM's workload, and for this I am very grateful.

Finally, there is a bevy of fire giant themed creatures that really do well to explore what a fire giant ecosystem/dungeon may look like.

Overall, this is a great product written by someone with intimate knowledge of the system. While art would have been nice, I am just as content imagining what some of the new creatures look like, and I thoroughly enjoy the Rage of Demons themed content, as many have taken up the cause of making it one of the most supported official D&D campaigns for 5th edition.

Super useful. Varying threat levels to fill lots of gaps in your monster vault. Well-balanced foes for their given CRs, and nothing that feels too over-powered (unlike some of the MM foes). All-in-all an awesome product.

I purchased this for an underdark campaign I am running. Three things stood out:

1) Nice variety of creatures and challenges. Many of them have 1-shot unique abilities to make them stand out. I appreciate the work put into those.

2) Crish, clear layout and easy to read as well as easy on the printer ink.

3) No art, but descriptive text with purpose for each creature.

So I advised a buddy of mine running Rage of Demons to check it out. Good work here.

This product is another example of what I really like about the DM Guild and what it can do. Having supplementary material to use in an existing campaign is a great way to extend the time you spend in that campaign and to customize a pre-released adventure to more closely resemble your taste.

So the product is good for having solid thematic enemies for an Out of the Abyss campaign, but more monsters in general aren't a bad thing either. These are all presented in a clear manner, and should be very usuable for any DM that wants to pop them into a campaign. Further, if you like drow or giants demons, these are great additions to those particular groups of monsters.

A lot of these creatures seem to take at least some inspiration from the 3rd edition mega-adventure City of the Spider Queen, but that's not a bad thing at all, and it makes sense when looking for thematic ties to a 5th edition Underdark adventure.

There is no art in this supplement, but its very clearly and attractively laid out, easy to read and use, in a format that should be familiar to anyone used to the 5th edition monster stat blocks. Defeinitely a recommended product, especially for GMs running Out of the Abyss.
