Yes, this is Out of the Abyss, an adventure module playthrough ran by the sadistic Dungeon Master William Johnston. Reviews for this module, written by Wizards of the Coast, state "experienced DM required" and "survive or die". It also boasts interesting mechanics and optional rule sets not seen in most DnD 5e games such as the Sanity Ability Score. Player characters include the naive and endearing hobgoblin Indigo Honeydew (played by Andrew Walker), the gruff and unyielding human Sephel Hesk (played by Brendan Proal) and the commanding and always rational Lara Wippen (played by Sam Conklin) accompanied by a slew of NPCs all, of course, played by Dungeon Master Will Johnston.
