The Silken Paths Board used for the WotC “Out of the Abyss” campaign module.

TONS of credit to Mr. Impossible! His Velkynvelve board was absolutely amazing for the first couple of sessions I ran with my group and can’t recommend his boards enough!

The Silken Paths are a network of spider webs crisscrossing a 500-foot-deep, 2,000-foot-wide chasm that stretches for nearly five miles. The major strands of the webs are traversable but, due to the fact that old webs disintegrate over time and the giant spiders inhabiting the chasm are constantly spinning new ones, the Silken Paths are ever-changing.

The chasm has numerous passages at varying heights leading away from it. It is rare for a web strand to connect one opening with another on the same “level.” Characters navigating the Silken Paths need to follow sloping strands as well as climb and cross over several strands to reach their intended destination. This is quite hazardous, but there simply isn’t any easy way around the chasm. The characters can easily get lost in the mass of strands stretching across the chasm unless they have help.
