In 4 th edition, they burned through everything so fast within the span of, what. I really like how this edition is not relying on a constant flow of sourcebooks. I have to say that I have become fond of the two adventures-per-year format. I think that a lot of D&D players haven’t even started Storm King yet.
I know this isn’t a big indicator, but right now the guide that people read the most every day on my site is Curse of Strahd. You need to break it up a bit with socializing with NPCs, hanging out in town, and exploring a less limited “zone” so to speak.īacklog: I definitely think that making this kind of book was a good decision because people are still playing through the other adventures. Dead in Thay is really cool, but that is an awful lot of dungeon to crawl through. I’ve found that players like dungeons, but if they’re in the dungeon every session, things get bland and boring. Sunless Citadel, Forge of Fury and Dead in Thay in particular. The Main Hurdle: The biggest problem with this book is simply the fact that some of the dungeons are way too big. You could stick these dungeons in Undermountain, I guess. This book has nothing to do with Undermountain. I like it, I guess I just wish they gave us a few more pages of detail on it.Īlso, the fact that the Yawning Portal connects to Undermountain makes this a little strange, too. The Tavern: The framing device of the Yawning Portal, a tavern in the Forgotten Realms, is a bit odd. Warning: Most of these adventures are absolute hell to prepare.
That said, I am really tired of these same adventures being trotted out in every edition, so this book didn’t do that much for me. The rules conversion is really well done and they did a great job cleaning up a lot of confusing entries. I think newer players will enjoy this book. I want to give general thoughts, then I’ll talk about each adventure, the presentation, and then I’ll ramble on and on about the adventures that they chose to put in this book. You can get this book at amazon right here. You could play them in order if you want to and make a campaign out of it with minimal effort, I guess. The book contains 7 separate, classic adventures updated to 5th edition rules. This is the new adventure for Dungeons & Dragons and it isn’t like the others. Now that I’ve completed the guide to Tales from the Yawning Portal, I am ready to give the book a thorough review.
